ADVERTISING INFORMATION

Developed by Naftali Group and marketed by Stribling

Marketing Associates, 221 West 77 is perfectly situated

between Central Park and Riverside Park in the heart of

Manhattan’s esteemed Upper West Side. Nestled among

museums, restaurants and boutiques, 221 West 77 rep-

resents the ultimate in modern uptown living.

Thomas Juul-Hansen’s thoughtful exterior and interior

design honors the materials and scale of the neighborhood’s

historic buildings, while creating 26 two- to five-bedroom

residences that are fine-tuned to reflect the way we live

today. The units offer open, airy spaces that display a me-

ticulous attention to detail — all at a scale that is spacious

and livable.

The layout of each residence is designed with flexibility in

mind, evoking classic architecture but tailoring it for modern

living. Spacious floor plans, light-filled rooms, large case-

ment-style windows, kitchens by Smallbone of Devizes,

Juliet balconies and exceptional amenities — including

a basketball court, gym, roof terrace and wood-paneled

library — are just some of the components that rival the

city’s largest and most luxurious residences.

by the Greenwich Village–based architectural team

Messana O’Rorke and developer O’Connor Capital

Partners. Originally built in 1967, the 30-story build-

ing will have 115 condominium residences ranging

from one- to five-bedroom homes, with a porte-co-

chère and a furnished landscaped rooftop terrace.

Occupancy is expected later this fall, with a mix

of 1,145-square-foot one-bedroom homes start-

ing at $2.18 million ranging up to a four-bedroom,

2,536-square-foot duplex priced at $6.25 million.

“The designer and developer collaborated very

closely to create new layouts that reflect how people

live today, maximizing movement and abundant

natural light,” explained Melanie Estrada, sales direc-

tor with Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group. “The

building is set back from the southeast corner of

62nd and Third Avenue, a tree-lined block offering

inherent light and air even in the lower floors.”

In July, AKA, the luxury brand of long-stay ser-

viced residences, announced that a limited number

of its residences at one of its premier locations,

AKA Sutton Place at 330 East 56th Street, would

be available for sale as condominiums. With the

announcement, the brand introduced AKA Citizen,

a program to provide special amenities, rates and

services at all eight AKA locations, plus access to

exclusive events, priority reservations, personal

trainers and beauty specialists for owners.

In addition to locations in Beverly Hills,

Philadelphia, Washington D.C. and London, AKA

operates four properties in New York, with a fifth,

AKA Wall Street, opening this winter. Designed by

Edward Asfour of Asfour-Guzy Architects, AKA

Sutton Place’s residences range from 700-square-

foot one-bedroom homes to 2,000-square-foot

two-bedroom homes. “Given our brand loyalists,

offering condominium ownership felt like a natural

step,” noted Elana Friedman, AKA’s vice president

of global marketing. “We anticipate that our buyers

will live here a month or two out of the year, and

then put their residence in AKA’s inventory so that

we can lease them out for 30 days or longer.”

Built on the site of a former parking garage, 210

West 77th Street is transforming a once-dreary

block between Amsterdam Avenue and Broadway

into one of the best on the Upper West Side. The

entire block is being overhauled, with new sidewalks,

lighting and two new ground-up-construction con-

dominiums designed by Danish architect Thomas

Juul Hansen and developed by The Naftali Group.

The first, at 210 West 77th, is an 18-story mahog-

any-clad condominium with 25 luxury residences,

currently 75 percent sold, that will provide a 24-hour

doorman, a sports court, a spa and residents’ roof

deck with an outdoor fireplace.

Move-ins in the three- and four-bedroom-homes

building (the two townhouses have already sold,

and there is also a five-bedroom penthouse) are

expected next fall, with occupancy at the two- to

F ollowing the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s

takeover of the Whitney Museum’s former

Upper East Side location, a major realign-

ment of some of the area’s most coveted

residential spaces is taking shape. Acclaimed interior

designer Alexandra Champalimaud and architec-

tural firm Beyer Blinder Belle are transforming a

row of 19th and 20th century brownstones, recently

vacated by the Whitney, into 10 custom-designed

condominium residences. Ranging in size from

3,850 square feet to over 10,000 square feet, the

ten capacious new residences, collectively called

33 East 74th Street, comprise more than 50,000

square feet in all, and include the footprint of

the Atterbury Mansion, once owned by Cornelius

Vanderbilt’s niece.

Occupancy is expected by December, with prices

starting at $14.5 million for the six core apartments.

The penthouses start at $32 million. Later this week

(on Sept. 16), Douglas Elliman Real Estate is open-

ing a fully furnished model apartment within the

building. “Because it is a historical district, we had

to keep the facades, but everything else behind

them, from the row houses on Madison Avenue

to the two massive homes on 74th Street, was

scooped out and built anew,” explained Katherine

Gauthier, associate broker with Douglas Elliman.

“We have spent the last five years planning and now

building a brand-new building that gives us all the

modern amenities, like four-pipe heating and cooling,

extra-thick poured concrete slabs — all with no col-

umns in the way. Because we are not a restoration,

we can include every single bell and whistle, all the

best of the best, as you would expect for such a

prime location just off Central Park. There is nowhere

in Manhattan with an assemblage of prime living

space on this magnitude.”

Also on the Upper East Side, this one where

Midtown and uptown meet, 200 East 62nd Street is

being transformed from a rental to a condominium

five-bedroom homes at 221 West 77th Street

slated about four months later. Apartment 9W, a

2,720-square-foot four-bedroom home on the

market for $6,775,000, features a cook’s kitchen

handmade in England by Smallbone of Devizes. “It

is a small building instead of a big-box condo, yet

you still have very appealing and practical amenities,

including a gym and the rubberized sports court,

and the sauna,” said Alexa Lambert, sales agent

with Stribling Marketing Associates. “It is like coming

home to a little hotel, or a small private club.”

A duplex penthouse atop Chelsea Enclave, the

celebrated condop at 177 Ninth Avenue between

West 20th and West 21st Streets, features a

400-square-foot private terrace facing the Empire

State Building and upgrades that include a cus-

tom-designed Boffi kitchen, matte Burmese marble

floors and a floating staircase trimmed in glass.

Built in 2008, the 53-unit condop provides exclusive

access to The Close, the private lawns and gardens

of the General Theological Seminary.

The sixth-and-seventh-floor penthouse is on sale

for $6.895 million. “The current owners took out all

the finishes of a brand-new building to make it truly

spectacular, but at the same time not showy, shiny

or gaudy,” said Brian Babst, associate broker with

The Corcoran Group. “There have not been many

resales in this complex, so this is a rare opportu-

nity for someone who appreciates the charm of the

neighborhood, a private park, an indoor parking

garage with direct access, and the short walk to

the Highline and Chelsea Market.”

A combination unit at 2 Fifth Avenue, a venera-

ble 1950s-era co-op once inhabited by Mayor Ed

Koch and Congresswoman Bella Abzug, is listing

for the reduced price of $5.25 million. Overlooking

18 19

Washington Square Mews and the carriage houses

on MacDougal Alley, the 2,300-square-foot home

was recently renovated and is comfortably laid out.

“This apartment is well priced for a sprawling

four-bedroom apartment in Greenwich Village,”

said Richard Orenstein, associate broker with

Halstead Property. “The heart of the village is a

big draw, especially in a full-service building with

a doorman and security, and comes with plenty

of privacy for adults on one side, and kids on the

other. The building recently underwent a multimil-

lion-dollar facade renovation. It is considered to be

a blue-chip co-op.”

Listing for $13,965,000, Penthouse 2 at 21 West

20th Street — the new 15-story ultraluxury residen-

tial building just off Fifth Avenue in the Flatiron

district — features a unique 100-foot-wide floor

plan, with 4,663 square feet of interior and 525

square feet of outdoor living space all on one level.

Developed by Gale International, best known for

Seoul’s Songdo International Business District, the

new 13-residence building, was designed by Beyer

Blinder Belle with interiors by David Mann of MR

Architecture + Décor, and is inline for both Well and

LEED certification.

Penthouse 2 has four bedrooms with four en suite

bathrooms, plus a separate media room, powder

room, laundry room, powder room, butler’s pantry

and a kitchenette in the master bedroom. “You can

access the terrace from the master bedroom and the

living room through floor-to-ceiling glass accor-

dion doors that give you an indoor-outdoor feel,”

said Rachel Glazer, associate broker with Brown

Harris Stevens. “The penthouses are set back, so it

is very private — and yet in a very accessible location.

It is almost impossible to find anything comparable

with 100 feet facing south.”

Constructed in 1870, 87 Leonard is a classic

TriBeCa conversion with cast-iron columns, oversize

windows and open floor plans with 7.5-inch-wide

white plank oak. The fourth-floor residence, one

of three floor-through homes in the 40-foot-wide

Italianate style building, is on the market for $9

million. It comprises 4,652-square-feet, with radi-

ant heat throughout, smart features, an ethanol

fireplace, a honed Prada black-marble slab for the

kitchen counter and the best Sub-Zero, Wolf, Miele

and Waterworks appliances.

The building has a residents’ gym, an unusual perk

for a boutique building. All seven units, including

two penthouses and two maisonettes, should be

done by December. “There are other buildings that

aren’t delivered for two or even three years, so

here, lead time is a key selling point,” said Raphael

De Niro, associate broker with Douglas Elliman

Real Estate. “It is very compelling to walk into a

new development as beautiful as this one that you

can be living in in just a couple of months.” ■
