547 West 47th Street, the transformative, move-in-ready luxury condominium located in the heart of Manhattan�s West Side, has been recognized as a winner of The 2023 BLT Built Design Awards in the �Architectural Design � Residential� category and the 2023 World Architecture Festival Awards in the �Completed Buildings � Housing� category.

Developed by CBSK Ironstate � a partnership of CB Developers, SK Development and Ironstate Development � the block-long, 201,000-square-foot building was designed inside and out by the acclaimed Dutch-based firm Concrete Amsterdam, responsible for 547 West 47th Street�s striking exterior architecture, residential interiors and expansive communal spaces, marking the firm�s first residential development in New York City.

Located on 47th Street between Tenth and Eleventh Avenues, the 12-story building offers 219 studio to two-bedroom residences with professionally-designed furnished turnkey packages available, and features over 30,000 square feet of massively scaled amenities and resort-style services known as �The West Residence Club.�

�Concrete�s design for 547 West 47th Street is an outward representation of the one-of-a-kind living experience offered to residents,� said Scott Shnay, a principal at CBSK Ironstate.

�547 West 47th Street fits seamlessly within the context of the neighborhood and manages to stand out from other new developments across Manhattan not only for its eye-catching architecture but also for the attention to detail and thoughtfulness the team at Concrete put into every aspect of its design.

By keeping the end-user top-of-mind in each design decision, they�ve created unique and functional spaces for an optimal residential experience within a building that�s conducive to the modern city lifestyle.�

Designed to evoke the neighborhood�s industrial past with large volumes at street level, a truffle-colored hue and oversized warehouse-inspired windows framing the loft-style homes within, 547 West 47th Street�s robust brickwork base and lobby interior are made from 573,200 pounds of upcycled industrial and demolition waste from the Netherlands.

The intricate brickwork facade is the result of a yearlong collaboration between Concrete and StoneCycling, an Amsterdam-based firm committed to the sustainable manufacturing of upcycled bricks. The residences of 547 West 47th Street honor New York�s industrial heritage while referencing the views of the Manhattan skyline of today.

The interiors throughout feature two unique palettes; a light palette of soft and airy tones with polished metallic details, and a beautiful gray palette featuring warm gray hues with striking black accents. The lower-floor apartments feature more industrial details as Concrete drew inspiration from classic New York City lofts for the design of the interiors.

Influenced by the classic NYC penthouse and Manhattan�s Machine Age skyscrapers, Concrete designed the high-floor residences to maximize natural light, indoor and outdoor space, and views of the iconic skyline and Hudson River waterfront.

Concrete achieved an all-encompassing living experience at 547 West 47th Street with beautifully crafted residences complemented by The West Residence Club�s extensive amenity spaces. Spread over multiple floors of the development and activated by a series of lifestyle services and programs developed through partnerships.

The amenities include a rooftop pool, sundeck, outdoor lounge, grilling stations, rooftop dog run and pet spa managed by Throw Me A Bone, indoor/outdoor fitness center designed by The Wright Fit, yoga and Pilates studio, rentable hotel suites for guests, private dining room and catering kitchen, double-height fully-staffed lobby lounge, glasshouse library lounge with a fireplace, coworking spaces, storage for every home, house bicycles, and more.
