About 25 Bond Street
This 8-story building was one of three construction projects nearing completion on this cobblestone street in NoHo in the spring of 2007.
Designed by BKSK for Goldman Properties, it is distinguished by its syncopated and protruding limestone façade of its six-story base on Bond Street that is very sculptural.
The building has only 9 units. The former owner of the property, Tribeach Holdings, the developer of 129 Lafayette Street, had planned a building with 23 apartments.
The project is on the site of a former parking garage and measures 100 feet wide by 114 deep. Goldman Properties has developed some of the handsomest new buildings in SoHo on Greene Street.
BKSK has designed several of TriBeCa's most distinguished recent residential projects including the Hubert at 7 Hubert Street and the Duane Park Building at 166 Duane Street.
The top two floors are setback on Bond Street and are not faced with limestone, nor is the rear of the building, which overlooks its large rear garden.
The building is across the street from 40 Bond Street, and from 48 Bond Street, another new condominium apartment project. 40 Bond Street, which has been designed by Herzog & de Meuron, has a façade with protruding and rounded green-glass spandrels and mullions and it is notable for its "graffiti" aluminum fence.
On the website of 25 Bond Street, Tony Goldman, the developer, proclaimed that "There are periods in time when New York City has produced great buildings and now is one of those times," adding that "For us, it's a privilege to be part of this moment, adding stately beauty to downtown."
The building has concierge service, direct elevator access, 10-foot-six-inch ceilings, wood-burning fireplaces, individual lobby storage spaces, a communal outdoor grilling ensemble, and two parking spaces for each unit. The living/dining/kitchen areas in the apartments measures about 38 by 44 feet.
In early 2007, there were two apartments still available on the second floor and each had three bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths. Each apartment had about 3,800 square feet of space and was priced then at about $9.1 million.
