Upper West Side Columbus
Manhattan, New York City
This award winning project delivers a luxury condo that has been carefully designed and crafted offering full-floor 3,262 square foot units including 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. These 7 limited edition residences feature 50-foot-wide entertaining spaces, 10-foot ceilings, and windows measuring 9' x 15'.
Every inch of this condominium has been thoughtfully considered. The facade is a tapestry of brick design that is so appealing that the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission allowed an extra floor. Behind the facade is a very hip decor slated to attract a wide range of buyers--particularly those who want a Downtown loft-like feel but prefer the Upper West Side location. The condo is in a prime area, a stone's throw from Central Park and the Natural History Museum, and close to many of the city's most desirable private and public schools, universities and hospitals.
Two out of the seven units have outdoor space. There is a 2nd floor simplex with a 1,254-square-foot terrace and a duplex penthouse with a 3,364-square foot interior and terraces that total 2,094 square feet over two floors. All 7 units have master suites with 52-foot landscaped balconies. The building has been designed to allow for combination units creating duplex and triplexes for buyers who need and can afford more space. The small building appeals to luxury buyers looking for privacy which is hard to achieve in a building with many units.
Other proprietary design features include: art walls and specialized lighting, 8-inch-wide engineered white oak floors with a custom light stain, Italian kitchen cabinetry and Madreperola quartzite slab counters, the highest level of appliance package including a 6-burner cooktop, 2 dishwashers, a 42-inch refrigerator, double-oven, and a kitchen that exhausts to the outside. Each unit has a laundry room and powder room.
Building amenities include a full-time doorman, a well-appointed gym designed like a clubhouse, a dog spa, laundry room, individual storage bins in the basement plus individual storage lockers off the lobby. The building is constructed using Passive House principles, the highest level of environmental design that incorporates extra insulation, triple-paned windows, and filtered air. This will be the first condo in New York to use Passive House construction.
