Marketing has started for the 7-story residential condominium conversion of the former beige-brick, six-story garage building at 157 East 84th Street.
The project is now known as the Legacy and will contain seven apartments with 3,300 to 5,400 square feet.
Costas Kondylis is the architect for the conversion that will have a new facade with very broad, protruding windows.
The property was acquired by Core Development Group, of which Josh Guberman is a principal, for about $14,700,000.
Mr. Guberman, who has been active recently in residential development in Brooklyn with such projects as the 32-unit 101 Wycoff Condominiums in the Bushwick section, is a partner with Bobby Schagrin and Drew Nieporent, the restaurateur, in Crush Wine & Spirits at 153 East 57th Street.
The 84th Street building is convenient to the express subway station at Lexington Avenue and 86th Street and is close to two major new residential condominium projects on 86th Street.
According to Mr. Guberman, The Legacy will be "the first of its kind west of Third Avenue offering a full service doorman building ocmpleted with wine cellars, fitness center, movie and home theaters, landscaped rooftop deck and gardens, outdoor kitchens and dining space all offered in a small boutique environment.
His company recently developed the 7-unit Union Square Lofts at 10 East 14th Street and 5 East 13th Street and is planning a 22-unit, 7-story project at 433 East 74th Street that will be known as Lux 74.
