Hell's Kitchen's newest condo on the market is 432 W. 52nd, a seven-story building with 55 modern units ranging from $610,000 to $2.4 million.

The condo's modern lobby showcases floor-to-ceiling imported limestone tile, a quartzite accent wall, and a custom-built reception desk made of American walnut.

Developers Okada Acquisitions, JVL Property Group and Zion Enterprises finalized converting the defunct St. Vincent’s Midtown Hospital into 55 modern units in the heart of Midtown Manhattan—a stone’s throw from Broadway, Central Park, Restaurant Row, Time Warner Center and Lincoln Center.

According to The Real Deal, the Chetrit Group partnered with Tessler Development to buy the property (and a surrounding property and vacant lot) in 2007 for $84.73 million before initiating the conversion from hospital to condo. Chetrit then sold part of the property at 432 West 52nd Street for $41.4 million in June.

Hell’s Kitchen is among the Manhattan communities craving residential space. In recent decades, the neighborhood has undergone a complete makeover and a public relations effort to soften its image with aliases like Clinton or Midtown West. The neighborhood that gave us actor-writer Sylvester Stallone, musician Alicia Keys and The Actor’s Studio is now known as a haven for aspiring actors and entertainers. Bob Hope, James Dean, Larry David, Jerry Seinfeld and Madonna all resided in Hell’s Kitchen.

Hell’s Kitchen residents remain strong and resilient. When Frank Sinatra sang, “If I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere,” he must have meant Hell’s Kitchen. Keys, raised by a single mother, sang (in Empire State of Mind, Part II) about making it "by any means" and her "pocketful of dreams” from Hell’s Kitchen. Stallone wrote the screenplay for the film Rocky in Hell’s Kitchen—and initially turned down $350,000 for the rights to the script, despite having only $106 in the bank. There was Hell to pay, but they all made it.

Today, Hell’s Kitchen is even hotter. And residents of 432 W. 52nd will likely be the next generation to make it there—if they haven’t already.
