Elektra Natchios’s Penthouse | MCU: Location Scout

Matt and Elektra standing by the window in her penthouse.

This building isn’t in my name. I’m no amateur.

INTERIOR

Matt visits Elektra on the 9th Floor of this high-rise apartment complex. They discuss their future together as the sound of motorcycles is heard in the distance. The following episode has Matt and Elektra suit up and fight five Yakuza assassins in the loft.

The interiors of this spacious penthouse were not filmed at the same location as the exteriors in the next episode. It’s the sloped glass windows of the 35 XV apartments (Roman numeral for 15) on 35 W 15th Street, in New York.
