Marketing has begun for the 12-story residential condominium project by Brack Capital Real Estate USA at 15 Union Square West.
The building was originally a five-story cast-iron building designed in 1870 by John Kellum for Tiffany & Co., and Brack is adding 7 floors to create a total of 36 apartments.
Eran Chen of Perkins Eastman is the architect for the conversion that will retain the original ceiling heights of 16 feet on the lower floors as well as the cast-iron arches on those floors. The building will be wrapped in a black zinc-and-glass facade and its top floors will be set at different angles and have terraces.
The building will have a 50-foot lap pool "complemented by Bisazza mosaic tile finishes on the floors and changing LED lighting in the cabana nooks," as shown in the photograph at the right. It will also have open kitchens with bronze-framed cabinetry with frosted glass inserts and changing LED lighting above the cabinets.
Many of the apartments will have fireplaces and window blinds, lighting and temperature are controlled by a customized touchpad.
The building will have 24-hour doorman and concierge services with a live-in residence manager, a fitness center plus private storage facilities, valet parking, and concierge service by Luxury Attache.
Master baths have cast-iron soaking club with stainless claws feet, and double-sink vanities.
Powder rooms have mahogany paneled walls and moldings and black granite floors and a stainless steel pedestal sink and water closet.
The residences at 15 Union Square West include two bedroom homes ranging from 1,763 to 2,189 square feet and three bedroom homes that range from 2,370 to 3,164 square feet.
Prices range from about $4,110,000 for a two-bedroom unit with 1,959 square feet to about $7,770,000 for a three-bedroom unit with 2,370 square feet.
Vicente Wolf is designing the interiors.
