It's no surprise that stunning views are desirable to New York City buyers. Whether it's panoramic skyline views thanks to floor to ceiling windows, or a glimpse of Central Park, New Yorkers have always desired a view of their favourite city from the comfort of home. City lights and waterfront views: what if you could have them both? Abode2 discovers some examples of new development buildings that offer dynamic views of the city that never sleeps.

Vandewater

Designed inside and out by the celebrated INC Architecture & Design, Vandewater is a fresh representation of the local classical neo-gothic architecture of Morningside Heights. Located in one of New York City's most vibrant and intellectually lively neighbourhoods, the 33-story tower offers residences ranging from studios to four bedrooms.

200 East 59th Street

Like its predecessor 432 Park Avenue, 200 East 59th Street is a high-design residential tower that pushes the boundaries of classic modernism. With only one to three homes per floor, all 67 residences are corner units and take advantage of the building's expansive terraces that wrap around its 35 floors. They are seamless extensions of the main living room, separated by floor-to-ceiling walls of glass with slender framework and no horizontal interruptions to virtually eliminate the visual distinction between indoor and outdoor space. For that reason, the views at this building are unlike any other. To the north, the tower overlooks Central Park and the Upper East Side, and to the East, there are incredible views of the river and the Queensboro bridge. One standout residence is 19D, priced at $3.782 million. Designed by CetraRuddy, this spacious 1,523-square-foot, two-bedroom, two and a half bath half-floor corner residence features 54 linear feet of terrace space with sweeping north and east views of the iconic Queensboro Bridge and East River, as well as access to an amenities level with a double-height lounge, marble fireplace, furnished and landscaped terrace, fitness centre and a private dining room with a catering kitchen for larger functions.
