Midtown Commercial Condo for Sale
- Usage: Office
- Type: Sale
- Floor: 16th Floor
- Size: 2,265 SQFT
- Price: $2,955,000
- Term: Negotiable
Entry is through a dedicated reception room measuring approximately eighteen feet by twelve feet. This provides enough separation from the working areas to create a formal waiting and greeting environment without visitors immediately entering an employee workspace. Just beyond reception, a private kitchen is tucked into the center of the plan and includes a sink, dishwasher, refrigerator, countertop, and built-in cabinetry, keeping food preparation completely removed from the client-facing offices.
Moving toward the window line leads first to a smaller interior office measuring approximately eight feet by eight feet. Beyond it, a fourteen-foot by eleven-foot perimeter office receives direct exterior light and can accommodate an executive desk together with guest seating. A second perimeter room measuring approximately eleven feet by seven feet provides a more compact private office or support room.
The two largest offices occupy the opposite side of the suite. One measures approximately seventeen feet by eighteen feet and benefits from windows along two sides, creating a substantial corner executive office with space for multiple desks, a meeting table, lounge seating, or a combination of these functions. Beside it is another oversized office measuring approximately seventeen feet by twenty-two feet, also capable of supporting multiple professionals or functioning as a conference room, team room, or executive suite.
About the Building
When someone says the Gem Tower in Midtown West, they’re talking about a Diamond District–oriented ownership building, typically centered around West 47th Street, designed for high-value, security-sensitive businesses rather than generic office tenants. That entails a few key realities:
First, the building is structured for owner-users, not churn-and-burn leasing. Many occupants are jewelers, dealers, private traders, family offices, or adjacent professional firms who value permanence, privacy, and control. Floors and units are commonly laid out with multiple enclosed perimeter rooms, thick walls, and clear separation rather than open bullpen office plans, which aligns exactly with the suite listed.
Second, these buildings prioritize security, discretion, and vertical access. Expect controlled access, freight and service coordination, and layouts that support safes, vault rooms, private offices, and client-facing meeting spaces without exposing operations. That’s why workstation counts are often irrelevant — the value is in rooms, frontage, light, and separation, not seat density.
Third, ownership in a Gem Tower carries institutional and cultural weight. Buyers are not just purchasing square footage; they’re buying into a legacy building in the Diamond District ecosystem, where proximity, reputation, and long-term asset holding matter as much as layout. That should absolutely influence tone: this is not a startup office, not a flex suite, and not a commodity condo — it’s a high-floor professional asset built for trust, permanence, and value retention.
