Review of 397 West 12th Street by Carter Horsley

This handsome, 10-story, residential condominium building at 397 West 12th Street in the West Village was developed by Cary Tamarkin and has only 4 apartments.

The building has a honey-colored brick façade with large multi-paned windows that are patterned after the area's former industrial properties.

Mr. Tamarkin, who also developed residential buildings several years ago at 140 Perry Street and 495 West Street, said that the apartments would be delivered "raw." Its first floor contains retail space.

It is not far away from Julian Schnabel's 12-story residential project at 360 West 11th Street that has arched loggias and is emblazoned with an incised plaque proclaiming it "Palazzo Chupi."

Mr. Tamarkin was the developer of the handsome 9-story apartment building at 47 East 91st Street.

The crisp rectilinearity of this building's fenestration is also evident in the base of Tamarkin's project at 456 West 19th Street where the top is setback and has rippling curves.

H. Thomas O'Hara was the architect for the project.
