The Arun Bhatia Development Corporation has started marketing for a new residential condominium project at 139 Wooster Street in SoHo.

Designed by Beyer Blinder Belle, the development fronts on both Wooster Street and West Broadway and contains 16 apartments.

The development consists of two 8-story buildings connected by a "Zen" garden with bamboo, a Japanese Maple tree, perennial flowerbeds, a unique water feature and a Brazilian Ipe wood deck.

The facade on Wooster Street reflects a contemporary version of the historic cast iron buildings nearby, while the West Broadway facade is a modern version of the typical brick buildings of the late 19th century.

The two- to four-bedroom units range in size from about 1,447 to 4,252 square feet and have 11-foot-high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, Bosch washer and dryers, and Brazilian wide-plant, white oak floors. Kitchens have granite countertops, Italian Wenge wood base cabinets and SubZero and Miele appliances. Bathrooms are clad in Oyster Beige marble, and have Lagos Azul limestone countertops and Neptune "Zen" soaking tubs.

The building has a 24-hour doorman/concierge and a fitness center.

Occupancy is anticipated for late this year.

Prices range from $1,920,000 to $7,995,000.

Arun Bhatia Development Organization's other major residential projects in Manhattan include The Strand, The Capri, The Dunhill, The Whitney, The Park East, and The Chelsea Regent.

The site was acquired from Hyatt Hotels for $9,800,000 in 2004.
