Seven of the Building’s 16 Expansive Penthouse Units Remain with the
Opportunity to Purchase a Grand 7,000-SF Triplex Penthouse

The Laureate, located on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, has reached over 85-percent sold just months after officially launching sales. Only seven of the building’s 16 expansive penthouse units remain and a majority of the buyers have already closed and moved into the building.

The 20-story, 69-residence condominium, designed by SLCE Architects and Deborah Berke & Partners Architects and developed by the Stahl Organization, continues to experience overwhelming demand from local and international buyers who are seeking larger homes in the extremely desirable Upper West Side.  Due to the high demand for combination residences at the Laureate, the building is now offering an exclusive opportunity to combine four penthouse units into one large triplex featuring 10-bedrooms, over 7,000-square-feet of interior living space, and 2,600-square-feet of outdoor space.

“Reaching 85-percent sold in a matter of months is a huge accomplishment and is a compelling testament that this project is unlike anything on the market today,” says Shlomi Reuveni, executive vice president of Brown Harris Stevens SELECT, the exclusive sales and marketing team for the building. “Buyers are drawn to the building’s prime location, expert blending of pre-war and modern design, custom amenities, high-quality construction, large apartment sizes, and Candela-inspired layouts. The Laureate has been selling at a premium, elevating the neighborhood’s already rapidly growing real estate market.”

Located on the corner of 76th Street and Broadway, the Laureate features classic pre-war massing that consists of a granite and limestone base, allowing the building to blend in with the surrounding architecture. James Davidson, partner of SLCE Architects, created well designed floor plans inspired by Rosario Candela designs. SLCE strategically placed closets, doors and corridors to create gracious light-filled rooms. The Laureate’s residences consist mainly of  three-to-seven bedrooms, ranging from 2,100 SF to over 4,000 SF and feature approximately 10’ average ceiling heights; herringbone walnut flooring; inset Juliet balconies with French doors; floor-to-ceiling sound-attenuated, energy-efficient windows; walls constructed with mold-resistant sheetrock; multi-zoned HVAC systems, and smart home systems by Crestron.

The internationally acclaimed team of Deborah Berke & Partners Architects (DBPA) was instrumental in the interior design of the residences and well-appointed amenity spaces at the Laureate. Custom-designed kitchens feature DBPA-custom cabinetry, Luce de Luna quartzite countertops, free-standing islands with built-in butcher-blocks, Viking and Sub-Zero appliances and stainless steel-tiled backsplashes. Each home features an extraordinary five-fixture master bathroom and includes double-mirrored vanities topped with Bianco Dolomiti marble, radiant-heated flooring, Zuma soaking tubs, glass-enclosed double-headed showers, and custom faucets designed exclusively by DBPA for the Laureate.

Extraordinary penthouse residences at the Laureate boast fireplaces, multiple Juliet balconies, second dishwashers, wine refrigerators, and expansive terraces (up to 2,000 SF) with sweeping city views and roof setbacks with Jacuzzi® hot tubs and barbeque gas grills.

Residents of the Laureate are greeted by a warm, luxurious lobby featuring an onyx wall, custom crystal chandelier and limestone flooring that leads to the building’s well-appointed amenity spaces.  Included in these spaces is a modern and expansive resident’s lounge designed for entertaining and features a piano lounge with a baby grand player piano, a solarium, built-in banquettes, and a large flat-screen television. The lounge opens directly out onto two landscaped terraces created to allow residents to host separate gatherings if needed. Adjoining the lounge is a full-service gym featuring state-of-the-art pilates, cardio and strength training equipment, multiple televisions and over-sized windows with views of the landscaped terraces and children’s playground below.

Children at the Laureate will enjoy their own spaces including a play room dedicated to young toddlers featuring a range of age appropriate books, board games and furniture with an adjoining study room for the “tween” set equipped with large-screen computer terminals, study tables and a writing wall.  Children and adult residents alike will also be able to take advantage of a soundproof music studio located in the basement where they can “rock out” without disturbing others.

Additional building amenities at the Laureate include a 24-hour doorman/concierge, pet spa, cold storage, bicycle storage, and a parking garage with direct elevator access.  Cauldwell Wingate, owned by the Stahl Organization and celebrating its 100th year in business, was the construction manager for the condominium. The Laureate is also qualified for a 421A tax abatement.
