About Millennium Tower Residences, 30 West Street
Located in Battery Park City just to the north of Millennium Point, which contains a Ritz-Carlton Hotel and condominium apartments, Millennium Tower Residences is located at 30 West Street at the intersection of Little West Street.
Millennium Point is the southernmost building at Battery Park City overlooking the harbor and the Statue of Liberty. While it partially obscures some views to the south at Millennium Tower Residences, the new building has spectacular views of the skylines in Lower Manhattan, Brooklyn and Jersey City.
When it started construction on this 35-story, 236-unit residential condominium building, Millennium Partners, the developers of both towers, had a waiting list of over a thousand potential buyers for Millennium Tower Residences. Millennium is also the developer of three major apartment towers just to the north of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.
Handel Associates is the architect of the building that is expected to be about 25 percent more efficient than current New York State standards.
It has solar rooftop panels and it relies "heavily" on recyclable construction materials including steel, wood and even concrete drawn primarily from local sources.
Each unit receives fresh ducted air that has been adjusted for desired year-round humidity levels and has been filtered to remove 85 percent of all outside particulates, soot and airborne toxins.
The building is also expected to use 33 percent less water than a comparable non-green building as it will have on-site recycling of waste water to supply flush water for toilets.
Apartments have Brazilian cherry floors, 9-foot ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling windows. Kitchens have Pietra Bedonia stone slab counters, an etched glass backsplash and horizontal rift-cut white oak wood and frosted glass cabinetry and baths have frameless glass showers, "tea for two" soaking tubs, mahogany cabinets, Dombracht fittings and "undermounted sinks" in contrast to some new projects that place sinks above counters.
Apartments have Mahogany apartment entry doors and floor-to-ceiling windows in the living rooms.
The building has valet parking, bicycle storage, a kid's club, a fitness center and doorman and a concierge.
Initial prices ranged from 875-sq.ft. one-bedroom units starting at $705,000 to 2,400-sq.ft. four-bedroom apartments starting at $1.8 million.
