ON THE COVER:
Developed by Naftali Group and marketed by Stribling
Marketing Associates, 221 West 77 is perfectly situated
between Central Park and Riverside Park in the heart of
Manhattan’s esteemed Upper West Side. Nestled among
museums, restaurants and boutiques, 221 West 77 represents the ultimate in modern uptown living.
Thomas Juul-Hansen’s thoughtful exterior and interior
design honors the materials and scale of the neighborhood’s
historic buildings, while creating 26 two- to five-bedroom
residences that are fine-tuned to reflect the way we live
today. The units offer open, airy spaces that display a meticulous attention to detail — all at a scale that is spacious
and livable.
The layout of each residence is designed with flexibility in
mind, evoking classic architecture but tailoring it for modern
living. Spacious floor plans, light-filled rooms, large casement-style windows, kitchens by Smallbone of Devizes,
Juliet balconies and exceptional amenities — including
a basketball court, gym, roof terrace and wood-paneled
library — are just some of the components that rival the
city’s largest and most luxurious residences.

A brief look at some of Manhattan’s best resale and new-development
properties currently on the market.
F
ollowing the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s
takeover of the Whitney Museum’s former
Upper East Side location, a major realignment of some of the area’s most coveted
residential spaces is taking shape. Acclaimed interior
designer Alexandra Champalimaud and architectural firm Beyer Blinder Belle are transforming a
row of 19th and 20th century brownstones, recently
vacated by the Whitney, into 10 custom-designed
condominium residences. Ranging in size from
3,850 square feet to over 10,000 square feet, the
ten capacious new residences, collectively called
33 East 74th Street, comprise more than 50,000
square feet in all, and include the footprint of
the Atterbury Mansion, once owned by Cornelius
Vanderbilt’s niece.
Occupancy is expected by December, with prices
starting at $14.5 million for the six core apartments.
The penthouses start at $32 million. Later this week
(on Sept. 16), Douglas Elliman Real Estate is open-
16
ing a fully furnished model apartment within the
building. “Because it is a historical district, we had
to keep the facades, but everything else behind
them, from the row houses on Madison Avenue
to the two massive homes on 74th Street, was
scooped out and built anew,” explained Katherine
Gauthier, associate broker with Douglas Elliman.
“We have spent the last five years planning and now
building a brand-new building that gives us all the
modern amenities, like four-pipe heating and cooling,
extra-thick poured concrete slabs — all with no columns in the way. Because we are not a restoration,
we can include every single bell and whistle, all the
best of the best, as you would expect for such a
prime location just off Central Park. There is nowhere
in Manhattan with an assemblage of prime living
space on this magnitude.”
Also on the Upper East Side, this one where
Midtown and uptown meet, 200 East 62nd Street is
being transformed from a rental to a condominium
33 E 74th St
200 East 62nd St
by the Greenwich Village–based architectural team
Messana O’Rorke and developer O’Connor Capital
Partners. Originally built in 1967, the 30-story building will have 115 condominium residences ranging
from one- to five-bedroom homes, with a porte-cochère and a furnished landscaped rooftop terrace.
Occupancy is expected later this fall, with a mix
of 1,145-square-foot one-bedroom homes starting at $2.18 million ranging up to a four-bedroom,
2,536-square-foot duplex priced at $6.25 million.
“The designer and developer collaborated very
closely to create new layouts that reflect how people
live today, maximizing movement and abundant
natural light,” explained Melanie Estrada, sales director with Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group. “The
building is set back from the southeast corner of
62nd and Third Avenue, a tree-lined block offering
inherent light and air even in the lower floors.”
In July, AKA, the luxury brand of long-stay ser-
viced residences, announced that a limited number
of its residences at one of its premier locations,
AKA Sutton Place at 330 East 56th Street, would
be available for sale as condominiums. With the
announcement, the brand introduced AKA Citizen,
a program to provide special amenities, rates and
services at all eight AKA locations, plus access to
exclusive events, priority reservations, personal
trainers and beauty specialists for owners.
In addition to locations in Beverly Hills,
Philadelphia, Washington D.C. and London, AKA
operates four properties in New York, with a fifth,
AKA Wall Street, opening this winter. Designed by
Edward Asfour of Asfour-Guzy Architects, AKA
Sutton Place’s residences range from 700-squarefoot one-bedroom homes to 2,000-square-foot
two-bedroom homes. “Given our brand loyalists,
offering condominium ownership felt like a natural
step,” noted Elana Friedman, AKA’s vice president
of global marketing. “We anticipate that our buyers
will live here a month or two out of the year, and
then put their residence in AKA’s inventory so that
we can lease them out for 30 days or longer.”
Built on the site of a former parking garage, 210
West 77th Street is transforming a once-dreary
block between Amsterdam Avenue and Broadway
into one of the best on the Upper West Side. The
entire block is being overhauled, with new sidewalks,
lighting and two new ground-up-construction condominiums designed by Danish architect Thomas
Juul Hansen and developed by The Naftali Group.
The first, at 210 West 77th, is an 18-story mahogany-clad condominium with 25 luxury residences,
currently 75 percent sold, that will provide a 24-hour
doorman, a sports court, a spa and residents’ roof
deck with an outdoor fireplace.
Move-ins in the three- and four-bedroom-homes
building (the two townhouses have already sold,
and there is also a five-bedroom penthouse) are
expected next fall, with occupancy at the two- to

five-bedroom homes at 221 West 77th Street
slated about four months later. Apartment 9W, a
2,720-square-foot four-bedroom home on the
market for $6,775,000, features a cook’s kitchen
handmade in England by Smallbone of Devizes. “It
is a small building instead of a big-box condo, yet
you still have very appealing and practical amenities,
including a gym and the rubberized sports court,
and the sauna,” said Alexa Lambert, sales agent
with Stribling Marketing Associates. “It is like coming
home to a little hotel, or a small private club.”
A duplex penthouse atop Chelsea Enclave, the
celebrated condop at 177 Ninth Avenue between
West 20th and West 21st Streets, features a
400-square-foot private terrace facing the Empire
State Building and upgrades that include a custom-designed Boffi kitchen, matte Burmese marble
floors and a floating staircase trimmed in glass.
Built in 2008, the 53-unit condop provides exclusive
access to The Close, the private lawns and gardens
of the General Theological Seminary.
The sixth-and-seventh-floor penthouse is on sale
for $6.895 million. “The current owners took out all
the finishes of a brand-new building to make it truly
spectacular, but at the same time not showy, shiny
or gaudy,” said Brian Babst, associate broker with
The Corcoran Group. “There have not been many
resales in this complex, so this is a rare opportunity for someone who appreciates the charm of the
neighborhood, a private park, an indoor parking
garage with direct access, and the short walk to
the Highline and Chelsea Market.”
A combination unit at 2 Fifth Avenue, a venerable 1950s-era co-op once inhabited by Mayor Ed
Koch and Congresswoman Bella Abzug, is listing
for the reduced price of $5.25 million. Overlooking

Washington Square Mews and the carriage houses
on MacDougal Alley, the 2,300-square-foot home
was recently renovated and is comfortably laid out.
“This apartment is well priced for a sprawling
four-bedroom apartment in Greenwich Village,”
said Richard Orenstein, associate broker with
Halstead Property. “The heart of the village is a
big draw, especially in a full-service building with
a doorman and security, and comes with plenty
of privacy for adults on one side, and kids on the
other. The building recently underwent a multimillion-dollar facade renovation. It is considered to be
a blue-chip co-op.”
Listing for $13,965,000, Penthouse 2 at 21 West
20th Street — the new 15-story ultraluxury residential building just off Fifth Avenue in the Flatiron
district — features a unique 100-foot-wide floor
plan, with 4,663 square feet of interior and 525
square feet of outdoor living space all on one level.
Developed by Gale International, best known for
Seoul’s Songdo International Business District, the
new 13-residence building, was designed by Beyer
Blinder Belle with interiors by David Mann of MR
Architecture + Décor, and is inline for both Well and
LEED certification.
Penthouse 2 has four bedrooms with four en suite
bathrooms, plus a separate media room, powder
room, laundry room, powder room, butler’s pantry
and a kitchenette in the master bedroom. “You can
access the terrace from the master bedroom and the
living room through floor-to-ceiling glass accordion doors that give you an indoor-outdoor feel,”
said Rachel Glazer, associate broker with Brown
Harris Stevens. “The penthouses are set back, so it
is very private — and yet in a very accessible location.
It is almost impossible to find anything comparable
with 100 feet facing south.”
Constructed in 1870, 87 Leonard is a classic
TriBeCa conversion with cast-iron columns, oversize
windows and open floor plans with 7.5-inch-wide
white plank oak. The fourth-floor residence, one
of three floor-through homes in the 40-foot-wide
Italianate style building, is on the market for $9
million. It comprises 4,652-square-feet, with radiant heat throughout, smart features, an ethanol
fireplace, a honed Prada black-marble slab for the
kitchen counter and the best Sub-Zero, Wolf, Miele
and Waterworks appliances.
The building has a residents’ gym, an unusual perk
for a boutique building. All seven units, including
two penthouses and two maisonettes, should be
done by December. “There are other buildings that
aren’t delivered for two or even three years, so
here, lead time is a key selling point,” said Raphael
De Niro, associate broker with Douglas Elliman
Real Estate. “It is very compelling to walk into a
new development as beautiful as this one that you
can be living in in just a couple of months.” ■
