Marketing has begun for the 16-unit residential condominium building at 34 Leonard Street in TriBeCa that is being developed by R Squared LLP.
Gregg and Mitchell Rechler are the principals of R Squared LLP and were formerly executives of Reckson Associates Realty Corporation when in their 20-year tenure they directed the management, acquisition, development and disposition of more than 25 million square feet of commercial property.
Beyer Blinder Belle is the architect for the 8-story building, which also has an address of 180 West Broadway. Part of the site was a gas station from 1950 to 1985 and more recently it has been occupied by a garage and Buster's Garage, a large sports bar.
The building's design originally called 60 apartments in a larger building with a cantilever over an adjoining property. The design was revised and the building shortened and the cantilever eliminated.
The building, which is scheduled for completion next year, will have a red masonry facade above a rusticated base with shed marquees. It is on West Broadway between Leonard and Worth Streets and is a block north of the imposing and impressive, red-brick Western Union skyscraper.
The building will have one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments with prices starting at $1,975,000.
The building will have a 24-hour doorman, a personal art consultant for the residents, a lobby video art installation by Jennifer Steinkamp, a landscaped roof terrace with outdoor shower and a grill, a pet spa, private storage lockers, a wine cellar and tasting room, 10-foot-high ceilings, Bosch washers and dryers, and a health center.
Kitchens will have SubZero refrigerators, Viking appliances, Poggenpohl walnut-stained oak cabinetry, and Imperial Danby marble countertops. Master baths will have floors and walls clad in Oyster Beige limestone.
