About Bryant Park Tower, 100 West 39th Street
The 43-story, mixed-use, Bryant Park Tower on the west blockfront on the Avenue of the Americas between 38th and 39th Streets, was completed in 2006 and has 93 condominium apartments on its top 11 floors.
The lower 32 floors are occupied by a Marriot Residence Inn, an "extended-stay hotel" that was the chain's first in the city. The hotel entrance is at 1033 Avenue of the Americas.
The orange-beige brick building is built around the Millinery Center Synagogue on the avenue where the new structure has three four-story dark-reddish-brown polished granite bases.
The condo apartment entrance is at 100 West 39th Street. The apartment portion of the building has a doorman, a concierge, and a health club.
The new tower, designed by Nobutaka Ashihara & Associates and Greenberg Farrow, is catty-corner to the Atlas apartment tower at 66 West 38th Street.
A stringcourse at the 33rd floor marks the split in the building's functions and the upper portion, which is slightly cantilevered on its western façade, has a different fenestration pattern from the bottom.
The tower, which was developed by G. Holdings Corporation, has a set-back roof with a patterned masonry decoration mostly hiding the rooftop watertank.
Initial pricing ranged from about $425,000 to $700,000 for the 60 studio units, from about $500,000 to $950,000 for 29 one-bedroom units, and started at about $1.5 million for the four two-bedroom units.
The original plans for the project called for rental rather than condominium apartments and the tower was a glass slab parallel to the avenue.
Bryant Park is one block north of this tower and on the other side of the avenue.
