123 Baxter Street

Overview of 123 Baxter Street

Completed in 2005 by the American Development Group, 123 Baxter Street is a distinctive seven story condominium building featuring 26 units in the heart of Little Italy. Designed by Adam Kusher of Kusher Studios Architecture + Design, the building stands out with its unusual architectural elements including a circular "mouse hole" entrance, rounded corners, varied window sizes that aren't traditionally aligned, and a curved roofline. Each apartment incorporates a rounded wall as part of Kusher's "pinwheel" design philosophy, which rotates units counter clockwise around a central core to maximize natural light and air flow.

The building pioneered New York City's first fully automated parking system, accommodating 64 cars through an innovative platform and turntable system that maximizes space efficiency. The process takes approximately three minutes, with residents able to swipe a card in the elevator and find their vehicle waiting at ground level. Monthly parking permits were initially offered at around $375, with the system eliminating the need for traditional parking attendants and tipping.

Apartments feature high end finishes including Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, granite countertops, and premium Miele appliances throughout. Many units include unique amenities such as LG Internet refrigerators with built in computers, in-unit central vacuum systems, and Bain Ultra spa bathtubs. The penthouses, spanning over 3,000 square feet, offer multiple private terraces, chef's kitchens with Sub Zero and Miele appliances, and luxurious master suites with custom marble bathrooms and walk in closets.

The full service boutique condominium provides residents with a 24 hour doorman, fitness center, resident roof deck, and on-site parking garage. Located at the crossroads of SoHo, Nolita, Chinatown, and TriBeCa, the building offers exceptional transportation access with multiple subway lines within blocks, making it a prime downtown Manhattan address for those seeking modern luxury with innovative conveniences.
