The 11-story residential condominium building at 125 Central Park North was recently completed and all 17 units have been sold.

Four floors were added to the building, which was formerly Hale House, the children's shelter. Hale House acquired it in 1996 for $560,000 and planned to convert it to a school.

Queva J. Lutz and Sara M. Olsen were the developers and they acquired the property in 2004 for $5,500,000.

Peter Franzese was the architect for the conversion.

Prices for the apartments ranged from about $729,000 to $1,700,000, according to Norman Horowitz, senior vice president of Halstead Property.

The building has an attended lobby and apartments have individually controlled heating and air-conditioning, stainless steel double kitchen sinks, washers and dryers, and Kitchenaid Architect series dishwashers and gas convection ovens.

The building is close to a larger new residential condominium building now under construction at 111 Central Park North.

The site has convenient public transportation and is not far from the Cathedral Church of St. John The Divine.
