The Related Companies have commissioned Robert A. M. Stern Architects and Ismael Levya to design a mid-rise, residential condominium building at 350 Amsterdam Avenue.
The building would replace an attractive, five-story, red- and brown-brick garage building with numerous arched windows on the southwest corner of the avenue and 77th Street and a mid-block low-rise building just to the south.
The new building would have an Equinox store adjacent to new retail space and its residential entrance would be on 76th Street.
A rendering that appeared on the websites of two retail real estate companies, Robert K. Futterman & Associates and Winick Realty Group, indicated that the new building would be ready for occupancy in late 2008 and have four large ground floor arches along the avenue and a setback above the 8th and 9th floors and that some of the upper floors would have angled corners.
A spokesperson for Robert A. M. Stern Architects referred CityRealty.com to The Related Companies and Alicia Goldstein, a spokesperson for the latter called CityRealty.com today to say no comment.
Robert A. M. Stern is the architect of the new development now under construction at 15 Central Park West and his firm's high-rise apartment projects in Manhattan include the Chatham at 181 East 65th Street, the Seville at 300 East 77th Street, the Westminster at 180 West 20th Street and TriBeCa Park (400 Chambers Street) at Battery Park City.
