Penthouse 37 isn’t just perched above the High Line—it crowns the only residential building Zaha Hadid ever designed in New York. And it lives up to its pedigree. Spanning nearly 6,900 square feet indoors and wrapped in 2,000 more of private outdoor space, this $35 million triplex is a sculptural masterwork, reimagined in 2022 with a level of precision and polish that matches Hadid’s original vision.
A three-story staircase curves through the center like a polished helix, linking floors served by a private elevator and setting the tone for the drama within. The Great Room opens with 20-foot ceilings, Farrow & Ball wall tones, and towering glass panes that look out over Chelsea’s architectural playground. Light pours in. A custom three-story chandelier catches it. A new gas fireplace anchors it.
The kitchen, by Boffi with sculptural island and Gaggenau appliances, balances form with function. So does the media room, the library, and balcony—all part of the main level. The full-floor primary suite reads like a boutique hotel: dual closets, a spa-inspired bath, a tucked-away sitting area, and its own terrace. Three additional suites, a wet bar, and utility space add ease.
And then there’s the rooftop: a KLAFS sauna in charred Shou Sugi Ban wood, a hand-carved hot tub and cold plunge, a Corian BBQ kitchen, and skyline views that dissolve into the horizon. Below: a private IMAX, sky-lit pool, spa, concierge, robotic parking, and a drive-in garage. This isn’t just a penthouse—it’s Hadid’s signature in the sky.
Where is Manhattan, NY?
Manhattan, New York is the central borough of New York City, surrounded by the Hudson, East, and Harlem Rivers. It’s home to iconic landmarks like Central Park, Times Square, and Wall Street, and serves as both a global financial center and a cultural capital.

With its unique energy, architectural diversity, and nonstop activity, Manhattan remains one of the world’s most dynamic urban centers.
