It’s always refreshing to come across a provocative new development that aims to be more than a cash cow for its developer. Over on a quiet tree-lined block in Harlem, a hardy new condo has taken shape at 57 East 130th Street. The building rises from a narrow 18’ x 100’ site, not far from where actor/comedian Neil Patrick Harris purchased his Harlem brownstone in 2013.
The building is designed by Robert Marino Architects with Leehong Kim Architects. Its narrow street-front is clad in a robust brown brick façade with windows divided by angling piers. The adjacent buildings are set back at differing depths, partially exposing a lot-line face where the designers cleverly installed a row of windows.

Two units came online earlier this month. They are a 747-SF one-bedroom with terrace priced at $650,000 and a 1,023-SF two-bedroom going for $899,000. Sales launched earlier this month on its six residences that have floor-to-ceiling windows and white oak floors. Open kitchens have high Bosch appliances and walnut vanities, while baths feature marble tiling and Grohe/Toto finishes.
