Upon entry, a formal foyer leads to a reception corridor that discreetly divides the space between client-facing and internal areas. The layout includes five enclosed perimeter rooms, each of which can function as private offices, consultation rooms, or executive meeting spaces depending on the user’s needs. These rooms are generously proportioned and all feature windows, creating bright, focused work environments that maintain privacy without sacrificing natural light. One oversized office—measuring over 20 feet in length—would be ideal for a principal suite or could be repurposed as a secondary conference space.
At the eastern end of the floorplan is a spacious dedicated meeting room, well-suited to accommodate a large conference table or serve as a communal collaboration hub. The room is accessible directly from the main hall, allowing easy access for clients without routing through the main work area. A fully built kitchen is centrally located, outfitted with modern cabinetry, full-size appliances, and a service counter, offering space for coffee breaks, catered meetings, or daily team meals. The suite also includes a private, in-unit restroom and supplemental storage closets for added convenience.
Offered at $5,000,000 with monthly common charges and taxes of approximately $9,753, this 16th-floor suite presents a rare opportunity to own premium office space with light, flexibility, and views in a professionally managed Midtown building. Ideal for owners seeking control of their workspace, stable overhead, and a high-end environment that reflects the stature of their business.
About the Building
When someone says the Gem Tower in Midtown West, they’re talking about a Diamond District–oriented ownership building, typically centered around West 47th Street, designed for high-value, security-sensitive businesses rather than generic office tenants. That entails a few key realities:
First, the building is structured for owner-users, not churn-and-burn leasing. Many occupants are jewelers, dealers, private traders, family offices, or adjacent professional firms who value permanence, privacy, and control. Floors and units are commonly laid out with multiple enclosed perimeter rooms, thick walls, and clear separation rather than open bullpen office plans, which aligns exactly with the suite listed.
Second, these buildings prioritize security, discretion, and vertical access. Expect controlled access, freight and service coordination, and layouts that support safes, vault rooms, private offices, and client-facing meeting spaces without exposing operations. That’s why workstation counts are often irrelevant — the value is in rooms, frontage, light, and separation, not seat density.
Third, ownership in a Gem Tower carries institutional and cultural weight. Buyers are not just purchasing square footage; they’re buying into a legacy building in the Diamond District ecosystem, where proximity, reputation, and long-term asset holding matter as much as layout. That should absolutely influence tone: this is not a startup office, not a flex suite, and not a commodity condo — it’s a high-floor professional asset built for trust, permanence, and value retention.
