Marketing has started for the 9-story, residential condominium building at 235 West 71st Street that is being converted by 235 West 71st Street LLC of which James Rinzler is a principal.

The pre-war building, which is between Broadway and West End Avenue, was designed by Gaetan Ajello, who designed many elegant apartment buildings on the Upper West Side.

Mario Arbore of Arboree Design is the architect for the conversion.

The red-brick building has 33 apartments that range in size from 1,930 to 4,761 square feet.

Some apartments have fireplaces and some have terraces or gardens.

All apartments have new tilt-and-turn windows and new solid oak herringbone and strip floors and individual multi-zoned heating and air-conditioning.

Eat-in Neff kitchens have Viking and Miele appliances and baths have double vanities.

The building has a gym, a children's playroom, a bicycle room and storage bins.

Prices range from approximately $3,100,000 for a three-bedroom, three-bath apartment on the sixth floor to $15 million for the 7-bedroom, six-and-a-half bath penthouse, which has a 1,706-square-foot terrace.

The building has a two-story limestone base and quoins both at its sides and around the center windows on the 5th to 7th floors.
