Along the perimeter, two fully enclosed private offices sit at opposite ends of the plan, each built with full glass fronts and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame views of Midtown’s towers. One private office rises above the streetline and features a single-seat layout, a narrow workstation, and clear outward views. The other private office is slightly larger, allowing for a two-seat arrangement or an executive-style configuration. Both perimeter rooms deliver bright exposure through tall glass panes and are positioned so that their sightlines reach deep into the open area.
At the rear portion of the suite, the plan indicates a compact entry vestibule leading from the corridor, with a small closet and transitional hallway that opens immediately into the main workspace. The large central area displays a modern buildout with clean plaster walls, recessed lighting panels, and a neutral carpet tile system that runs throughout. The workstation area currently supports a dense office environment with numerous bench positions, each oriented toward the window line for maximum daylight. Glass partitions enclose the meeting room, which is fitted with a wall-mounted monitor, whiteboard, and seating for approximately eight, allowing it to function as a conference room despite its modest footprint.
Throughout the suite, finishes appear contemporary and clean, including framed glass, bright ceiling planes, and discreet mechanical elements. The skyline presence is a defining feature of the space, visible from nearly every interior vantage point. As a small office condominium, the unit offers ownership control with an efficient, light-filled plan capable of supporting a modern professional team within a compact footprint.
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.
