240 Park Avenue South - Gwathmey Update

In the wake of the public reception (friendly and otherwise) of their Astor Place "Sculpture for Living" condo at 445 Lafayette Street, Gwathmey Siegel have a number of noteworthy residential projects in the works around New York. At right is a rendering of their Gramercy/Union Square area condominium now going up at 240 Park Avenue South. The 17-story tower at the northwest corner of 19th Street is being developed by Yitzchak Tessler and will have 52 loft style apartments with 11-foot ceilings. Four penthouses will have 18-foot ceilings. The limestone clad apartment tower will have a curved corner for views down the avenue. Windows will be large multi-pane squares that echo the surrounding pre-war commercial buildings. After the jump, an update on more in the works from Gwathmey Siegel in SoHo, Chelsea, and lower Manhattan.
