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. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Condominium - **Beds**: 5 - **Total Baths**: 5 - **Rooms**: 8 - **Sqft**: 4,220 sqft - **Stories**: 11 - **Year Built**: 2017 - **Price per Sqft**: $2,962 - **Common Charges**: $12,380 / Monthly - **Listed On**: Sep 8, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 1 Days ### Residence Features - Central Air - Washer Hookup - In Unit - Private Outdoor Space Over 60 Sqft - Washer Dryer Allowed - City ### Building Amenities - Sauna ## Sales Evidence ### Recent closed sales 20 apartments at 520 West 28th Street have recorded sales since September 2021, the most recent for $7,900,000 in August 2026.

Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable condo five-bedroom sales in Chelsea is $22,939,625, based on 6 sales between September 2024 and November 2025. This home is asking $12,500,000, $10,439,625 below that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $11,751,062 and $24,656,250. - **Median closed price**: $22,939,625 - **Middle half**: $11,751,062 – $24,656,250 - **Based on**: 6 condo five-bedroom sales in Chelsea - **Period**: September 2024 – November 2025 - **Median $/ft²**: $4,125/ft² Across the 6 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 91.5% of what it originally asked. 83% of them closed below the original ask. 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 - **Sold vs original ask**: 91.5% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 83% of 6 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 164 days (about 23 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 44 days (about 6 weeks) Across the 6 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 91.5% of what it originally asked. 83% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 164 days (about 23 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 6 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 44 days (about 6 weeks), based on the 4 with both dates recorded. 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. Based on 6 condo five-bedroom sales in Chelsea, September 2024 – November 2025. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. ### Price trend Median price per square foot for sales at 520 West 28TH Street, 2017 to 2023. Price per square foot is used rather than sale price so the line follows the market rather than whichever apartments happened to change hands that year. | 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) | 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. 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.
