Although it is only about half way up, the 50-story condominium tower at 325 Fifth Avenue is about 99 percent sold out.
The mid-block tower between 32nd and 33rd Streets is diagonally across Fifth Avenue from the Empire State Building, which from its inception has had no tall neighbors, until now.
A handsome, light-blue glass curtain wall is beginning to be applied to the new tower, which will contain 250 condominium apartments. It is a joint venture of Continental Properties, which is headed by Mark and Steven Fisch, and Levine Buildings affiliate Douglaston Development, headed by Jeffrey Levine.
Apartments will feature 10-foot-high ceilings with floor-to-ceiling windows, open-plan kitchens with separate pantries and many units will have balconies. Four penthouse units will have wood-burning fireplaces and double-height living rooms.
The building will have a doorman, a 24-hour concierge, individual storage units for purchase and on-site valet parking. The building also will have a 10,000-square foot health club with a decked indoor swimming pool, a screening room, a children's playroom, a catering kitchen, a lunge with marble fireplace, and a business center and residents can have dog walking service, maid service and room safes in every apartment.
Stephen B. Jacobs, who designed the Hotel Ganesvoort, is the architect and Andi Pepper has designed a two-story lobby with a bamboo forest and waterfall.
The tower is expected to be ready for occupany late next year.
