A brand-new luxury rental building that seamlessly combines all the best elements of luxury living with cutting-edge innovation, this 32-story high-rise that easily ranks among the most desirable luxury rentals in the Manhattan rental listings. Located in Manhattan’s Battery Park City, it sits directly adjacent to the Battery Park City Esplanade and the Hudson River. What makes this building special goes beyond just a prime location in a green, livable neighborhood and an array of modern amenities. The building is expertly designed to meet LEED gold certified standards; it incorporates green innovation in every way possible without sacrificing anything by way of luxury.

This incorporation of green innovation and modern luxury is writ large in the apartments themselves. The living rooms boast eco-friendly bamboo floors and floor-to-ceiling windows. Those windows are made with spectrally selective low-e glass; their innovative design is just one of many features in Liberty Luxe that conserves energy. The spacious kitchens are designed to be great gathering places, and their open layouts feature bamboo and glass cabinetry, Imperial White Darby countertops, and KitchenAid stainless steel appliances. Inside the bathrooms, residents are treated to limestone finishes, Grohe fixtures, and a large bathtub.

The amenities at are no less impressive. It has a billiards room and a Greenhouse Lounge which residents may reserve for private catering events. The building also lies in Manhattan’s chic, trendy Battery Park City neighborhood. Replete with park space, excellent restaurants, and gourmet grocers. Renters at Liberty Luxe will enjoy a sophisticated, forward-thinking lifestyle in a neighborhood that is one of the best residential enclaves in Manhattan.

13. Hell’s Roofdeck

Despite being sequestered in the heretofore nameless netherland behind the Time Warner Center, the blocks north of Hell’s Kitchen have begun morphing into a luxury corridor of sorts, replete with rentals and condos in buildings gilded with all sorts of amenities. (It seems only right that Urbani Truffles, the Italian supplier of fancified funghi, chose to open their American flagship here.) Donald Trump’s march southward on Riverside Boulevard has been leapfrogged by Extell and its army of gleaming residential towers. Last December, the City Council approved the developer’s plans to build Riverside Center on eight acres hugging the waterfront, with five glassy high-rises stocked with market-rate and affordable housing, a movie theater, a school, a hotel, and nearly three acres of parkland.

12. Murray Bay

(a.k.a. the Thirties east of Second Avenue) 

Because it just awoke from a 50-year real-estate nap.

The last time anything exciting, buildingwise, happened here was in the early sixties, when I. M. Pei built two high-rises in the International Style between 30th and 34th Streets. Almost five decades later, this monotonous stretch finally has landed another noteworthy edifice: 303 East 33rd Street (left). It’s no Pei, but it does hold the distinction of being the area’s first LEED-certified condominium.

ASK A BUYER

Rick Marx, a partner at Ernst & Young, moved from Tampa last year into a two-bedroom apartment in 303 East 33rd Street.

Why’d you pick this neighborhood?
I work uptown, downtown, midtown, so I need someplace that’s central. We started looking in the Flatiron, but they didn’t really have a lot of new construction, so we kept moving east. And then I saw this building and I just fell in love.

What was it that sold you?
First of all, I think it’s really interesting from the outside. And it’s set back from the road just enough. You know how in New York, if you’re on a lower floor, you’re looking out onto another building? Here, it feels open.

Was buying in a green building a priority?
No, it really wasn’t. I tell people it’s a green building, and they kind of look at me. I’m very conscious of the environment, but I’m not big into the cause.

So you’re not munching on granola all day.
Not at all. People come in and they think my countertop’s marble, but it’s recycled glass. And the counters in the bathrooms look like stone, but they’re recycled plastic. It’s that kind of green.
