The 30-story condominium apartment tower at 200 Chambers Street on the southeast corner at West Street across the street from the handsome pedestrian bridge to Battery Park City will have a private garden designed by Thomas Balsey Associates, the landscape architectural firm that has been designed Riverside Park South.

The garden, visible from the lobby, will have a fountain. The lobby will have what is known as a "chinchilla mink" marble floor.

The building, which has a 7-story wing on the sidestreet, will have a health and fitness center with a lap pool, a social lounge, a children's playroom, a conference center, a garage and a 5,000-square foot public terrace.

Kitchens will have Balastina lava stone countertops and birch cabinetry, SubZero refrigerators, Bosch dishwashers and Viking ovens and cook-tops. Bathrooms will have Calacatta marble and Crema Marfill tiling.

The building, now in construction, is being developed by Jack Resnick & Sons, whose other major residential projects in the city include Symphony House on the northeast corner of Eighth Avenue and 56th Street and the Gershwin at Eighth Avenue at 50th Street. It also developed the very handsome One Seaport Plaza office building near the South Street Seaport.

The new residential tower has been designed by Costa Kondylis after initial plans by Lord Norman Foster.

It will have 258 apartments ranging in size from 573 to 2,300 square feet and priced from about $760,000 to $3,300,000. In June, the prices ranged from about $500,000 to $3,000,000.

A spokesman for the building told CityRealty.Com yesterday that about 60 percent of the units have been sold.
