This stylish new condominium building, completed in late 2007, is located on the corner of Park and 37th Street on the site of old Sheraton Russell Hotel. This 22-story project more than lives up to its storied street address.
The design by architects Costas Kondylis & Partners mixes the red-brick of old-line real estate with enough fresh details like super-sized windows and arty white crossbeams to ensure its sense of contemporary hipness.
Inside, the 122 apartments deliver this same balance of old comfort and new style. The apartments have 9 to 10-foot ceilings and floor-to ceiling windows throughout, exotic Iroko hardwood floors, individually controlled heat and air-conditioning, and two multi-media ports in every living area. The large kitchens have custom wood cabinets with etched glass doors, Jet Mist black granite countertops and state-of-the-art Viking and Sub-Zero appliances. Master baths have cedar marble floors and countertops, Kohler fixtures, full-height Desert Cream marble walls and tub deck, glass enclosed stall showers, Anigre wood vanities with triple-door mirrored medicine cabinets, and multi-media ports. Each apartment also has a full-size washer and vented clothes dryer. Residents also enjoy an on-site health club, indoor resident's lounge and outdoor terrace. And to make sure that there is still a bit of old Park Avenue to offset all this newness, many of the apartments have "Juliet" balconies.
