The building blends historic and modern elements seamlessly. Originally the Pennsylvania Railroad Power Station, designed by McKim, Mead & White in 1909, it was converted into luxury condominiums in 2008 by architect Karl Fisher, with interior design by Andres Escobar. The Powerhouse preserves its industrial character while offering contemporary amenities. The building is staffed 24/7, with a concierge, porter, and a live-in resident manager. Residents have access to an ultramodern fitness center, game room, cold storage, bike storage, playroom, business center, and package room. For added relaxation, a full spa-inspired locker room features a dry sauna, steam room, and a brand-new hot tub.

The extensive rooftop is split into two distinct areas: the west side offers breathtaking waterfront and city views, with sunbathing decks, lounge chairs, and outdoor furniture perfect for unwinding. On the east side, you’ll find grills and a dedicated dining area, ideal for hosting outdoor gatherings.

The Powerhouse offers easy access to scenic green spaces and spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline. The surrounding area is full of convenient amenities, including Food Cellar, Urban Market, hardware stores, banks, pharmacies, and doctors’ offices. The neighborhood also boasts a diverse range of dining options, from charming cafés to Michelin-starred restaurants along Vernon Blvd. and Center Blvd., all just a block and a half away. If you need parking, rental options are available adjacent to the building, and Trader Joe’s is conveniently nearby.
