The 16-story residential condominium development under construction at 120 West 72nd Street by Anbau Enterprises has been named Harsen House.
The mid-block building is between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues and will contain 22 apartments.
Stephen L. Glascock and Barbara van Beuren are the principals of Anbau Enterprises, which is also the developer of the conversion and expansion of the apartment property at 110 Central Park South to condominiums.
BKSK is the architect.
The building's apartments will have gas fireplaces and the penthouse is setback.
The building will have a 24-hour concierge and its marketing proclaims that it is "the only condominium in this neighborhood that is registered with the US Green Building Council."
Apartments are two- and four-bedroom units with private outdoor spaces and the building has one penthouse apartment.
Andres Escobar is the interior designer for the project.
Apartments will have Cook's kitchens by Snaidero and the building will also have a bicycle room and private storage.
The building's design was approved last May by the city's Landmarks Preservation Commission by a vote of 6 to 0.
The building is an "as-of-right" project that falls within existing building and zoning regulations. Under zoning it could be 210 feet high but Harry Kendall of BKSK said that it would only be 172 feet including rooftop bulkheads.
The facade of the building will be light-beige masonry on the eastern half, where it abuts a very handsome, white terracotta, apartment building, and clear glass on the western half where the eastern edge of the window is recessed and the remainder projects outward to form a broad bay window.
The approved design was revised slightly to meet suggestions from the commission at an earlier hearing. The building now has a two-story limestone base and the top floor of the building on the street line is also faced with limestone. The residential entrance has a metal marquee and quartzite facade highlights as well as slightly different treatment on the second floor to better demarcate the entrance. The building's cornice was also been redesigned and made deeper.
The building replaces a one-story commercial building designed by Scacchetti and Siegel in 1937.
The building will have 4,000 square feet of retail space on the street floor and a residents' recreational center at the rear garden level.
