A stunning new construction tower with a prime midtown Manhattan at 18 West 48th Street, The Centria offers luxurious condominiums for sale, but it also offers something bigger and more surprising -- consider The Centria further proof that midtown Manhattan has emerged as a great place to live, as well as a popular place to visit. The Centria, intriguingly, is both -- a luxury hotel offering elegant apartments for sale on its upper floors, The Centria offers residents a suite of amenities that few luxury hotels in Manhattan can match, while also providing all the comforts of home. Factor in a dead-center location that puts The Centria steps from a host of Manhattan attractions, as well as a panoply of mass transit, and it's easy to see why The Centria is one of the hottest condo listings in Midtown. And why midtown Manhattan isn't just for visiting anymore.

It doesn't get much more central than 18 West 48th Street -- just across from Rockefeller Center, a short walk from Central Park, and steps from some of the city's finest restaurants and shopping. The views through the floor-to-ceiling windows in each apartment for sale at The Centria are exactly as jaw-dropping as one could imagine, offering views of Central Park, St. Patrick's Cathedral, the Empire State Building and more or less everything that makes midtown Manhattan midtown Manhattan. But there's more to the condos for sale at The Centria than stunning views -- each apartment's finishes and fixtures reflects an attention to detail and dedication to luxury that few Manhattan condo listings can match. The gourmet kitchens feature marble accents, state-of-the-art appliances, and a sleek look courtesy of superstar Italian designers Driade. Elegant baths feature Calacatta marble baths, his-and-her sinks and a glass-enclosed shower. More practical luxuries -- from hardwood floors to energy-efficient washer/dryer units -- are evident in each apartment for sale at The Centria.

As one might expect from a luxury condo that's also a luxury hotel, the slate of amenities at The Centria are remarkable. All the expected extras are in place, from 24-hour doorman and concierge service to a WiFi-equipped business center and state-of-the-art health club. But where The Centria sets itself apart from other Manhattan condominium listings is in what might be called extra-extras -- residents at The Centria have access to a wine lounge and private cigar-smoking room, as well as lushly landscaped courtyard gardens and a private outdoor deck. Add it up, and The Centria offers all the comforts of home alongside all the luxuries of a New York City vacation... just with the added benefit of never having to go home.
