70 Charlton Street: Review and Ratings

Review of 70 Charlton Street by Carter Horsley

This handsome residential complex at 70 Charlton Street in Soho was scheduled for completion in 2016 with about 92 condominium apartments in a building on Charlton Street and about 23 affordable units in a similar but narrower building on Van Dam Street.  The mid-block buildings are connected by a garden and a glass-enclosed breezeway with curved inner wall and both buildings are 21 stories tall.

Extell Development and Angelo, Gordon & Co., are erecting the complex and Beyer Blinder Belle is the architect.  Workshop/APD did the interior design.

Extell erected One57 and numerous residential towers on Riverside South and is also building the supertall at 211 West 57^th Street and redevelopment Carlton House on Madison Avenue.
