Luxury Comes In Many Different Forms

We understand that luxury is a subjective term and is applied in as many as ways there are people.

Communicating a building's degree of luxuriance makes our heads spin where some properties are understood to be ultra-luxury, super-luxury and alike.

Therefore for the purposes of this web site we have opted to include a wide array of buildings that meet the broadest understanding of the term luxury.

Further, we have created a distinction between the most full-service, amenity-laden luxury buildings, tagging them luxury, and luxury buildings with more modest amenities, tagging them doorman.

Lastly you will note we have tagged cooperative buildings co-op to distinguish this form of ownership from condominium buildings.
