The Townsend is a 28 story rental in Midtown West, recognizable by its two story rusticated limestone base and staggered setback bays. Designed by Avinash Malhotra and developed by Lalezarian Properties, the mid-block building was completed in 2010 with 206 apartments, including 41 affordable units.
The façade incorporates numerous corner windows, while a broad glass and metal marquee marks the entrance. Inside, the lobby centers on a 20 foot high waterfall. Apartments have floor-to-ceiling windows and oak plank floors, and the mix spans studios, one and two bedroom layouts, and penthouses. In-unit washers and dryers are found in the one and two bedroom homes, while multiple layouts have private terraces and upper floor apartments often have city views.
The amenity program includes a landscaped roof deck, fitness center, lounge, game room, screening room, bicycle storage, package room, and full service garage. The building also has concierge and doorman service, central air conditioning, video intercoms, and a live-in superintendent. Pets are permitted.
