60 Orchard Street: Review and Ratings

between Hester Street & Grand Street View Full Building Profile

Carter Horsley
Review of 60 Orchard Street by Carter Horsley

This 9-story, mid-block building at 60 Orchard Street between Hester and Grand Streets on the Lower East Side is notable for its alternating and protruding banks of 18-foot-wide windows. 

The building was designed by Herman J. Galvins of G Ateliers Architecture. 

Marshall Sohne was the developer. 

It has 7 full-floor condominium apartments and a penthouse duplex and was completed in 2009.

Bottom Line

The alternating, protruding windows of this mid-block building give it a strong, dynamic distinctiveness and the full-floor units have long curved entrance galleries.

Description

The long windows in the floor-through apartments have protruding frames that give the dark building a very sculptural look.

Amenities

The building has a video intercom system, washer/dryer hook-ups and available storage. 

It has no garage, no roof deck and no sidewalk landscaping. 

Apartments

Apartments have gas fireplaces, operable glass windows, black and white lacquer kitchen cabinetry, honed absolute black granite kitchen countertops with white textured tile backsplashes, Liebherr refrigerators, Dacor cooktops and ovens and Ashko dishwashers. 

Apartments have a curved entrance gallery that leads to a 22-foot-wide living/dining room with an open kitchen with an island and two bedrooms, one of which has a balcony.
