A sales office will open next month for a new condominium apartment building at 985 Park Avenue between 83rd and 84th Streets.
The limestone-clad, 15-story building, now in construction, has been designed by Costas Kondylis for The Icon Group, which is headed by Michael Miller, Todd Cohen and Terrence Lowenberg.
Its fenestration pattern will be somewhat similar to that of the Gainsborough at 222 Central Park South, which was designed in 1908 by C. W. Buckham.
The Park Avenue views of St. Ignatius Loyola Roman Catholic Church across the avenue are very nice, albeit not as impressive as the Gainsborough's Central Park vistas, but they will not be from double-height living rooms. Although the windows give the appearance from the outside that there is one big double-height space behind them, there will actually be two floors.
French doors will open onto narrow balconies on the lower floors of each unit facing the avenue.
The building is being erected on the 25-foot-wide site of a three-story building occupied since 1986 by Portraits Inc. The building dates to about 1870 and was the home of the Florence Market run by Anthony Tucciarone, who died in 2004 and had acquired the building in 1948.
The handsome new building will have 5 duplex and 2 triplex apartments. Occupancy is anticipated for early next year.
