18 Gramercy Park is a 19-story residential building in Manhattan, New York City, United States. Built as a hotel in 1927 and designed by the architectural firm Murgatroyd & Ogden,[1] it was a women's temporary residence owned by The Salvation Army from 1963 to 2008. It was then known as the Parkside Evangeline.[2] In 2010, The Salvation Army sold the building to Eastgate Realty for US$60 million.[2][3] The investors were the Zeckendorf family and Israeli billionaire Eyal Ofer.[4][5]

In 2012, the building was redesigned by Robert A.M. Stern Architects as a luxury 16-unit condominium building.[1][6] Residents have a key to Gramercy Park, a private park.[6] Since September 2012, the building has sold all of its units (many of which are full-floor residences), with many costing more than US$4,000 per square foot, including the three-level maisonette with a private passage. The units feature marble showers, Miele dishwashers and thick white-oak floors. The building features two rooftop porches, a club room, spa and wellness center, 24-hour porter, full-time staff(including concierge) and four exposures with park and horizon views. Pets are permitted.[7][8]

18 Gramercy Park units have reportedly sold for between $10 million and $42 million for the 6,329-square-foot (588.0 m2) duplex penthouse.[9]
