Spot the unusual design choice. In a glassy corner office at 520 Fifth with views of Grand Central and the Empire State Building, I watched as the developer Ian Michael Klein performed a magic trick: Reaching a hand toward the frame of a south-facing window, he turned a handle, pushed lightly, and popped it open.

Specifically, a three-bedroom at the top of a 1927 trophy co-op, as The Real Deal first reported, a Greenwich Village spread with three terraces, a formal dining room, and a kitchen that looks like it was designed before the 25-year-old was born.
