Triple Mint

Sky House Condo

We've been watching this project ever since our friends at Curbed scored the original scoop about this extremely tall and narrow apartment tower in the Manhattan neighborhood that developers are now calling "Madison Square North." Sky House, a 139 unit condominium at 11 East 29th Street, is a Clarett Group project designed by the firm of Fxfowle. The slender 55 story tower will have just three apartments per floor. Its height-to-width ratio reminds us of the Metropolitan apartment tower on West 57th Street. Reflecting a new turn toward smaller, more saleable units (as the New York condo market cools a bit), the mix here will be mostly one and two bedroom apartments. More on the design and the neighborhood after the jump.

101 Warren - TriBeCa

Among the big competing TriBeCa condo projects 200 Chambers may have had a head start, but its neighbor just to the south at 101 Warren Street is actually shaping up as the more interesting property--suggesting once again that good things come to those who wait. The risk with buying into new development is that something better might just come along right as you've scheduled your closing. Drat! Click the jump to take a look inside a large mixed-use condo and rental apartment tower designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, featuring Whole Foods, Barnes & Noble, and a grove of pine trees in the middle of New York.
