About 101 Warren Street
The condominium section of the large project developed by Edward J. Minskoff Equities in the Washington Market Urban Renewal District to the north of the World Trade Center site is known as 101 Warren Street.
The entire project, which has been known as 270 Greenwich Street, will include 227 condominium apartments and 132 rental apartments and a large Whole Foods store and a Barnes & Noble bookstore.
About 180 of the condominium units are in a 35-story at the corner of West and Warren Streets, just to the south of another new condo tower, being developed by a different developer, at 200 Chambers Street.
The rest of the condos are in an adjacent mid-rise structure on Warren Street and they have loggias screened by two-story-high piers.
The façade of the condo tower has a checkerboard fenestration pattern and is faced with a sand-colored, textured granite from India.
The tower has been designed by Mustafa Abadan of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. Ismael Leyva Architects is handing the interior layouts and Victoria Hagan is doing interior design. Thomas Balsey Associates is handing the landscape design for the project.
Penthouses will have 20-foot-high outdoor loggias with Ipe wood decking and glass handrails and one- to four-bedroom units will range in size from 923 to more than 4,000 square feet.
The developer commissioned a 14½ foot high sculpture by Joel Shapiro for the building's entrance and two lobbies are double-height and have large tapestries by Roy Lichtenstein.
The project has an "Artrium" on the fifth floor with a pine tree forest with 101 trees "resting on a bed of rust-colored river rock" and adjacent to a 8,400-square-foot-glass-walled health and fitness center and an indoor/outdoor children's play area.
Apartments have floor-to-ceiling windows and South American walnut Lapacho wood floors and ceilings range in height from 10 to 12 feet.
Kitchens have Bulthaup b3 fixtures and Sub-Zero, Miele and Bosch appliances and Master baths have Bianco Lucido lazed ceramic tiling, and Wenge wood vanities, Imperial Danby marble floors and countertops.
The condominium building has a doorman, a concierge, a residential manager and, a “Bloomberg Financial Lounge” with international newspaper service, and a “Board Room” facility with screening area, 24-hour attended parking, an indoor/outdoor children's play area, a garden maza, sun decks, and glass-enclosed health and fitness center.
Occupancy was scheduled for the fall 2007.
In the tower, most floors have 6 apartments, many with "great rooms" measured about 33 by 20 feet that adjoin library/third bedrooms that measure about 15 by 13 feet. On floors 16 to 23, apartments range in size from about 1,602 to 2,372 square feet whereas on floors 24 through 31 apartments range in size from about 1,592 to 2,530 square feet.
Duplex penthouse units with double-height loggia occupy the 32 and 33rd floors.
Half of the more than 130 rental units, which have their own entrance in low-rise buildings on Greenwich and Murray Streets, are market-rate, 30 percent for middle-income and 20 percent for low-income.
The developer is contributing $7.5 million for the maintenance of the Washington Market Park and another $3 million for a community center on an adjacent block.
The building, whose east and west façades are angled, is across West Street from a large field at the north end of Battery Park City.
