The Porter House - 366 West 15th Street

It’s not often that a developer names its baby after those who came before it, but The Porter House, a luxury condominium on West 15th St, borrowed its name from the term for a choice cut of beef in honor of its meat-packing district locale and the famed Homestead Steakhouse that shares its corner. Thanks to architect Gregg Pasquarelli, the once Renaissance Revival warehouse was expanded upwards through the installation of an avant-garde condominium structure that sits atop a yellow-brick industrial building below it. Neither structure has anything to do with the other, yet neither does its neighboring designer, Alexander Mcqueen, and the once bloody cobble stone street it sits on. The contrast is dramatic, as is the effect of the vertical lighting units patterned throughout the building. The funky apartment building is more than just a home to its residents. New York City art historians consider the property a breakthrough in post-modern architecture. The “prime” location of The Porter House and its unique façade make this condominium a savvy investment for those looking to live in one of the trendiest spots in Manhattan. The building features 5 one-bedroom apartments, 13 two-bedroom apartments, 3 three-bedroom apartments, and for its more high rolling suitors, 1 four-bedroom duplex with a private deck.
