Overview

The campaign for this development is all about their atmosphere when it should be more about a futuristic NYC. For starters the entire façade is rendered to be an all glass structure that appears to bent in and out of itself. Additionally you walk into a lobby that looks more like something out of Star Trek than a residence ad campaign. The very sterile looking metal ceiling with inlayed lighting surrounds a lobby where everything has an acute angle including the concierge desk. That’s just for starters; the elevator bank looks like you should be teleporting somewhere rather than using it to enter your home. This futuristic feel continues but thankfully subdues itself once you enter the residences. The Windows are floor to ceiling with a height of 12 feet for most, creating a spectacular entrance for light and dramatic effect. The bathrooms and kitchens have sleek clean lines and transition with little effort into the common spaces. The one “out of place” item in this super futuristic setting is the columns although if the renderings hold true, they should create an inspiring effect to the already tall ceilings. As for the location of this building, it’s not too shabby. The area is in the most inner workings of the Far West Village and steps from Hudson River Park. While far from most mass transit, this allows for a fairly calm and tranquil area to live in. The developer began sales just after July 4th on this 24 unit building along side his Corcoran Sunshine Marketing team. (more…)
