INSTRATA at Mercedes House

By W.A. Muller

INSTRATA at Mercedes House is comprised of 162 luxury rental apartments located on the top 11 floors of architectural masterpiece, Mercedes House. Designed by Enrique Norton, world-renowned architect and principal of the design firm TEN Arquitectos, Mercedes House, located in the culturally vibrant neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen at 550 West 54th Street, between 10th and 11th Avenues, is a New York City design icon.

The 32-story modern glass tower boasts a striking zig-zag design with cascading green terraces that create many penthouse-sized apartments with ample private outdoor space – all with breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Hudson River.

INSTRATA at Mercedes House was the first project introduced under the INSTRATA Lifestyle Residences umbrella, a new luxury lifestyle concept developed by Invesco Real Estate that not only brings condominium-caliber design and finishes to rental developments, but also superb amenities and impeccable service.

"The project's interior finishes, custom details, outdoor spaces and incredible amenities have really resonated with New York City renters," said Lesley Lisser, LEED AP and a director of asset management for Invesco. "We're very proud of the success of INSTRATA at Mercedes House, where we've created an authentic and luxurious living experience and a thriving and engaged community of residents."

Gourmet kitchens feature top-of-the-line appliances by Viking, Sub-zero and Bosch. Counter tops are finished in CaesaerStone and stainless steel. Custom cabinets, lighting fixtures and a wrapped lacquer island combine for clean modern look.

All homes boast sky-high ceilings, wide-plank oak floors, customized overhead lighting, custom solar shades, Bosch stackable washers and dryers and fully built-out closets in the Master Bedroom suites. Master Bathrooms feature custom wood cabinetry and are appointed with a CaesarStone tub surround and Nemo glass tiles shower surround.

Additionally, many homes feature expansive private terraces with direct Hudson River views, and penthouse homes have private roof cabanas. The building's glass-clad façade and floor-to-ceiling windows affords inspiring Hudson River and cityscape views that continually change with the day's passing light.
