Overview

After completing an extensive series of renovations, 254 Park Avenue South hopes to entice new residents looking for a pad in the Flatiron District.  Standing 287 feet high and comprised of 211 units, the design of the high-rise building places a huge emphasis on its great location with its extravagant style and luxury.  Rosen Partners, LLC is heading up the conversion which originally was an office tower, followed by rental building, and finally now a luxury condo. The team acquired the building in 2006 and began the all too familiar process of ripping out kitchens and baths and dropping in stainless steel and fresh hardwood flooring. The building has a plain grey façade intertwined with numerous large windows. The ground floor of the building is commercial space.  One thing is for sure, 254 PAS is certain to invoke interest in many professional buyers looking for a comfortable luxury residence that is close to the office.
