## Property Overview

This exceptional five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath residence at 520 West 28th occupies a privileged position within Zaha Hadid's celebrated West Chelsea masterpiece, with floor-to-ceiling glass framing open views across the High Line and the city beyond. Direct elevator access opens into a home of remarkable scale and light, where soaring ceilings, wide-plank floors and a private terrace create the rare combination of architectural drama and genuine livability.

 The interiors unfold with an effortless sense of proportion. Expansive entertaining spaces are wrapped in glass, while the private quarters are thoughtfully removed from the rhythm of daily life. The enormous primary suite is a retreat unto itself, with two walk-in closets and the space and privacy more often associated with a townhouse than a Manhattan apartment. Four additional bedrooms offer exceptional flexibility for family, guests, offices or staff, complemented by four full baths, a powder room and a dedicated laundry room. Throughout the residence, Hadid's signature language of movement, light and sculptural form transforms everyday spaces into something altogether more memorable.

 520 West 28th is one of the few residential buildings in New York designed inside and out by Zaha Hadid, among the most consequential architects of her generation. Hadid was the first woman to receive the Pritzker Architecture Prize and later became the first woman awarded the Royal Gold Medal by the Royal Institute of British Architects in her own right. Her work, from the MAXXI museum in Rome to the London Aquatics Centre, redefined contemporary architecture through sweeping geometries and a seemingly impossible sense of motion. At 520 West 28th, those ideas found an unusually intimate expression: hand-finished metal, curved glass and interlocking forms conceived specifically for their setting beside the High Line. The building itself was subsequently named Project of the Year by the New York Council of the Society of American Registered Architects.

 Life here extends well beyond the residence. A twenty-four-hour doorman and concierge provide discreet service, while an extraordinary private wellness program includes a 75-foot skylit saltwater swimming pool, fitness center and spa facilities with hot tub, cold plunge, sauna and steam room. Automated parking and private storage provide luxuries increasingly difficult to find in Manhattan. Set directly on the High Line amid the galleries, restaurants and cultural institutions of West Chelsea, this is more than a five-bedroom home of extraordinary scale. It is the opportunity to live within a work of architecture that could only have been conceived by Zaha Hadid-and could only exist in New York.

Every row is a recorded transaction, including ancillary spaces such as storage and staff rooms where they were sold separately. Those are excluded from the benchmark below.

### How this price compares

- **This home**: $12,500,000
- **Median sold price**: $21,504,250
- **Difference**: -$9,004,250 (-41.9%)
- **This home, $/ft²**: $2,962
- **Median $/ft²**: $4,004
- **Comparable sales**: 5
- **Sales from**: November 2024 – November 2025
- **Middle half of those sales**: $8,500,000 – $24,750,000

Based on condo five-bedroom sales in Chelsea.

This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Chelsea instead.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sale-to-list price**: 92.5% (5 sales)
- **Sold below asking**: 80% (5 sales)
- **Typical time to find a buyer**: 209 days (5 sales)
- **Typical time to close**: 44 days (4 sales)

Based on condo five-bedroom sales in Chelsea with the required listing and closing data. Sample sizes vary by metric.

These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure.

### Price trend

Median price per square foot, sales at 520 West 28TH Street

| Year | Median $/ft² | Sales |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2017 | $3,003/ft² | 14 |
| 2020 | $2,291/ft² | 7 |
| 2021 | $2,277/ft² | 8 |
| 2022 | $2,313/ft² | 6 |
| 2023 | $2,371/ft² | 4 (thin) |
| 2026 YTD | $2,097/ft² | 3 (thin) |

Based on recorded sales at 520 West 28TH Street. 2026 is year-to-date.

Years marked "thin" rest on fewer than 5 sales, where a single unusual apartment moves the median a long way. Read those points as the small samples they are rather than as the market turning.

Sales data through August 2026.

Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

| 2020 | The City did not publish assessment data for this year. | — | — | — | — | — |
| 2019 | The City did not publish assessment data for this year. | — | — | — | — | — |
| 2018 (FY 2018/19) | $763,027 | $216,675 | $546,352 | $730,408 | $92,119 | 12.612% |

The City has not published the official FY2026/27 and FY2025/26 tax rates yet. We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one.

Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls.

Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 1006991330. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
