The 18-story, mixed-use building at 225 West 60th Street between West End and Amsterdam avenues has been topped out recently and should be completed next year.
It will contain a 40,00-square-foot, five-level facility for Lander College for Women of Touro College in its base and about 100 condominium apartments on the fourth through the 19th floors.
Gruzen Samton, the architectural firm that designed such notable buildings as the black curved residential tower at Second Avenue and 66th Street for Sheldon Solow and the Montana on Broadway between 87th and 88th Street, has designed the building.
West 6-th St. Realty Partners LLC, of which Joel and Margaret Kestenbaum and Stanley Listokin are principals, is the developer.
The school facility includes a double-height gym, a library, a cafeteria, 3 laboratories, 17 classrooms and administration, faculty and student offices as well as a terrace accessible from the second floor. The liberal arts and science program will serve a student population of 425.
The residential tower will have an exercise room and community room on the fourth floor with access to a common terrace. The tower is setback above the base and also on its west fa?ade where there are private terraces on the 17th and 18th floors facing the Hudson River. On the south fa?ade, the center portion of the south fa?ade above the 13th floor is clad in metal panels that continue as a screen wall up to the roof and give the building strong accent lines. The residential tower has corner windows and blue-green glass facades.
The building is close to the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and the Time Warner Center as well as several major new high-rise construction sites.
