Introducing The Awe-Inspiring, Custom-Designed NYC Home of Hotelier and Developer, Alan Faena

At 2,425 square feet, this impeccably designed two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home with a separate library/den is perfectly located on the best block of the West Chelsea waterfront. Beautifully scaled and masterfully designed by the architects of Foster + Partners, along with Alana Faena and his team, this residence includes a magnificent 26' x 19' southwest-facing corner living room, overlooking the Hudson River, downtown Manhattan and beyond. The fully appointed kitchen with beveled marble countertops and backsplash, and a generous library/ media room complete the apartment's entertainment and living spaces.

A gracious master bedroom features a fully finished dressing room with extensive custom millwork by Foster + Partners. The luxurious master bathroom includes a stately entrance through 9' double doors, a freestanding tub, radiant heated Luna Black granite floors, as well as a custom Corian vanity with integrated lighting. Other features include an enclosed shower and water closet with custom designed floor-to-ceiling translucent glass doors. The secondary bedroom has an en-suite bath with Travertino Striato stone floors and elegant Dornbracht fixtures.

Exquisitely crafted by the master architects of Foster + Partners, 551 West 21st Street features a gated drive court with 24/7 valet parking and surrounded by a 20-foot green wall, a dramatic awe-inspiring 34-foot, double height lobby with custom designed chandelier and a prismatic glass wall allowing natural light to flood the space.
