15 Hudson Yards is a brand new luxury tower in Hudson Yards, New York City's new $25 billion neighborhood. It was the first residential building to open in the neighborhood.
Hudson Yards opens to the public on March 15, but 15 Hudson Yards welcomed its first residents in February. The tower is 60% sold.
I got the chance to check out a penthouse on the tower's 84th floor. At 15 Hudson Yards, floors 81 through 88 all have four penthouses on each floor.
The residence's 670-square-foot great room encompasses a living area and dining area.
Floor-to-ceiling windows make full use of one of the penthouse's standout features: the city views. That's the Empire State Building to the east.
And looking south, 15 Hudson Yards has unobstructed views of downtown Manhattan and One World Trade Center.
It was a sunny day when I visited, and the apartment was bright and warm.
Built-in shelving lines the wall behind the dining table.
To the right of the dining table is the entrance to the eat-in kitchen.
The kitchen is outfitted with custom oak wood cabinetry and Miele appliances.
The kitchen offers views of the Empire State Building and the East River in the distance.
Bar stools and a separate breakfast nook provide additional eating areas.
I headed down the hallway to check out the bedrooms and found that the rooms were tastefully decorated.
All the furniture in the penthouse was custom made, and each bedroom had an en suite bathroom.
One bedroom in the penthouse was styled as a den.
The ceilings in the penthouse are nearly 11 feet in some places, leaving plenty of wall space for art.
Lastly, I checked out the penthouse's master suite.
As to be expected, it was much more spacious than the other bedrooms.
The master bathroom was absolutely beautiful ...
... and continued the apartment's broader theme of boasting fantastic views.
The bathroom also came outfitted with bath products from Bastide, a French company that sells $52 dry oil mist and $48 body cream.

Penthouse 84A's price is $13,845,000. And it's not even the most expensive penthouse in the building. Condos start at $4.3 million and go all the way up to $32 million.
With its spacious layout, luxurious details, and breathtaking views, it was hard to believe this penthouse is less than half the price of other penthouses at 15 Hudson Yards.
