Manhattan Condo Renovation | 241 5th Ave

About This Renovation

This Manhattan condo renovation in the heart of NoMad underwent a full home renovation, with particular focus placed on the kitchen and bathroom. Condos are typically newer buildings, so this project didn’t require many technical upgrades. On the other hand, condo-grade finishes tend to be on the bland side. Our goal was to infuse the space with some personality, swapping out the developer-grade finishes with materials and fixtures closer to our clients’ hearts.

Contemporary Bathroom Style

Condo-grade finishes can be nice, but are often a bit too cookie-cutter for clients who have a keen sense of their own aesthetic. In this Manhattan condo renovation, the original bathroom was technically decent but too impersonal for our clients. We ditched the tub for a new shower with a custom-made glass door, instantly giving the space contemporary appeal. 

In that same contemporary vein, striking Zen Gray tiles in a herringbone pattern animate the new shower, with Porcelanosa Carrara Blanco for the walls, quartz countertops, and a custom-made Miralis vanity in Cashmere Gray complete the look. One of the most common upgrades in condos is with the stone work, which was the case here as well. In addition to the walls and countertops, we updated the floor with Porcelanosa Boston Stone tiles in a complementary dark gray tone and larger size to minimize grout needs.


Contrast & Columns in the Kitchen

In the remodeled kitchen for this Manhattan condo renovation we introduced a transitional element to the otherwise contemporary style with two-tone cabinets. Miralis Tribeca Walnut for the base cabinets with Miralis Cologne White Lace for the uppers is both charming and cohesive, bringing a welcome transitional edge to the otherwise modern space. The fused-like edges for the upper cabinets are sleek, chic, and easy to maintain, featuring anti-fingerprint and enhanced anti-bacterial properties. Another maintenance upgrade came with the porcelain countertops and backsplash, which feature a pattern that resembles Carrara marble for that classic look without the upkeep that true marble requires.

Columns are usually associated more with lofts, but you can find structural columns in any type of New York space. In the case of this NYC condo renovation, we were faced with one in the kitchen. We integrated the column into the space by building it out with an in-set bookshelf. Not only is the column now virtually hidden, but it also serves a functional purpose as a great place to keep cookbooks or simply as extra kitchen storage.

Our success stories

Forget about any horror story you have heard about contractors. Stop right here. This is the design-build contractor you want to HIRE. It was a breeze working with Gallery on our apartment combination project. We looked at quiet a few design-build companies and chose Gallery because of the great communication and the fact that they were able to manage material purchasing and product selection for us. They were honest, took responsibility and pride in their work.”

Gallery KBNY has been absolutely amazing with my renovation. As a complete newbie, I was expecting a stressful process, but they made everything incredibly smooth—and I learned so much along the way. They’re truly a concierge-level service that genuinely cares about both their clients and the quality of their work. I know I couldn’t have chosen a better team. Colin, Morgan, and Leo were fantastic with logistics; Kate is a brilliant designer; and Alex was, hands down, one of the most responsive and professional contacts I’ve ever worked with. The entire experience was marked by ease, efficiency, quality, and grace. 10/10 recommend!

We used Gallery KBNY to re-design our kitchen and other rooms. Avi Zikry's design was amazing. His vision enabled us to create a whole new look and a better functioning space. That was a year ago, and we are very happy with the results. I highly recommend him. View full renovation: https://www.gallerykbny.com/our-work/manhattan-apartment-renovation-91-central-park-west

We loved working with Avi and the whole team at Gallery Kitchen and Bath. From our very first meeting, we felt like we were in great hands. Avi is so responsive—always available, quick to come up with solutions, and he and his team helped us pivot whenever needed without losing momentum. Renovating in NYC is complicated, but they handled all the logistics seamlessly and made the process so much less stressful. They do everything—design, architectural work, and managing every detail and skilled trade needed for a full gut renovation of our loft apartment —so we never had to worry. They are in full control of their workers, which allows them to stay on track and adapt quickly. They were creative and helpful when we needed to pivot on design unexpectedly. We felt like we had true partners that genuinely cared about our project and our well being! The finished space truly exceeds our expectations—we are so proud of our beautiful new home. It’s hard to put into words how positive our experience was overall. We would not hesitate for a moment to recommend Avi and the entire team at Gallery. They will be our very first call if we ever need to renovate again in the future… and you should call right now if you’re considering a renovation!

I enthusiastically recommend Gallery, who did a superb job renovating our once decrepit 2-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn Heights. The project involved a full kitchen and bathroom renovation, as well as new electrical, refinished floors, new doors, new baseboards, and some rearranged bedroom closets. What is more, when I have them the wrong paint color for my daughter’s bedroom, and the team started to paint that color, they got the paint I wanted and corrected the “mistake” (which has actually been my mistake) and didn’t charge me for that either. I’d choose them again 100 times over and definitely recommend them to anyone considering a similar project.

We interviewed about 8 different companies before hiring a contractor for our apartment renovations. Although Gallery was not the cheapest option, we chose them based on their upfront billing format, high client reviews, and depth of knowledge. We loved how it was a “one stop shop” and were paying one bill, up front. Everything was very transparent and we could not be happier with the results! Our apartment looks exactly how we imagined. Thank you!!
