The Brodsky Organization has begun marketing its latest condominium apartment project at 4 West 21st Street, a new 17-story building with about 60 units.

The building has been designed by H3 Hugh Hardy and SLCE and will have an interesting main fa?ade of flush and indented windows that make alternating two-story-story-high window rectangles. This fenestration pattern overlaps a three-story-high fa?ade grid creating a rich rhythm and visual modulation that is evocative of older loft buildings.

Excavation work is now proceeding on the project that is between Fifth Avenue and the Avenue of the Americas and is close to the Flatiron Building. The building will a garage with space for more than 100 cars.

The Brodsky Organization was the developer of the BridgeTower Place condominium building near the Manhattan entrance to the Queensboro Bridge and has developed several major high-rise rental towers south of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.
