Marketing has started for the Liberty Luxe and the Liberty Green residential condominium towers being erected by Milstein Properties at 200 and 300 North End Avenue, respectively, at Battery Park City.
The towers will have a total of 471 condominium apartments and a 50,000-square foot community center that will be operated by Asphalt Green with a swimming pool, gym, class rooms, kitchen and auditorium. The community center that will extend through both towers.
The site is between Warren and Murray Streets and west of the authority's ballfields.
"This project, which achieves a gold LEED standard, is one of the last steps we will take towards achieving our goal of 4.5 million square feet of sustainable development in Battery Park city, making us the largest "green" neighborhood in the world," declared James Gill, the authority's chairman when he announced them in 2006.
The center will feature a six-lane, competition-length pool, a smaller warm-water pool with an adjustable floor, a full-court gym, a 156-seat theater, a culinary center, a juice bar, a computer lab, dance studios and classrooms.
Asphalt Green will run the center's athletic programs and will bring in outside groups to run the cultural programs.
