New York Knicks point guard Miles McBride is renting a luxury Chelsea apartment for $15,500/month. The two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath apartment is at One High Line, the pair of twisting condo towers at 500 West 18th Street designed by Bjarke Ingels. As first reported by the New York Post, the unit spans 1,600 square feet and comes fully furnished with high-end pieces. One High Line offers expansive skyline views from its perch above the elevated park.

The apartment boasts an open-concept living space featuring oak chevron floors, Molteni kitchen designs, and a Gaggenau appliance suite. Marble accents are present throughout, including Calacatta Gold countertops, Saint Laurent marble borders, and a grand Kaldewei soaking tub.

The primary bedroom features motorized blackout shades, custom furniture from high-end brands like RH and William Yeoward, and a spacious walk-in closet designed by California Closets.

A second bedroom has its own marble-clad bathroom with radiant heat flooring. The living room boasts a 65-inch Samsung Frame TV, custom rugs, and a marble dining table.

McBride is a rising talent on the Knicks, having signed a $13 million, three-year extension in late 2023. The point guard has been playing a bigger role on the team since the departure of RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley.

The basketball star will enjoy One High Line’s 18,000 square feet of amenities, which include a health and wellness suite with a 75-foot indoor swimming pool, a yoga studio, and a fitness center with sweeping views. Plus, the five-star hotel Faena will open at the building next year, with a 17,000-square-foot private members club and spa Faena Rose.

Douglas Elliman’s Ben Jacobs and Jessica Chestler represented McBride; the landlord was represented by Alyssa Brody and William Kuchins of the Development Marketing Team.

One High Line, originally named XI, topped out in 2019, but before it opened, investors and contractors accused former owners HFZ Capital of missing payment deadlines and owing them millions of dollars, according to the New York Times.

In 2021, HFZ went into foreclosure, and the project was eventually bought out by developers Witkoff Group and Access Industries who gave it a rebranding by 2022.

In February, Nir Meir, the former managing director of HFZ, was arrested for his connection to a $86 million fraud scheme. Prosecutors claimed Meir, who managed the firm’s largest projects, including the XI, directed more than $253 million of the project’s funding to LLCs controlled by HFZ despite being legally required to use the money for the development.
