The building will feature “robust insulation and airtight seals [to] minimize air leaks and drafts, keeping rooms consistently comfortable and quiet, while reducing energy consumption to a small fraction of a traditional home’s consumption.”
Each apartment will also include “its own state-of- the-art, Swiss-engineered energy recovery ventilation (ERV) system that delivers fresh filtered outside air to each room of the home, consistently exchanging stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air.”

Prices start at 11 million? Who would ever pay that to live on Columbus Avenue? (And I don’t mean to insult the place –I like to walk down Columbus Avenue.) But let’s just say that it’s not CPW, or Fifth, or Riverside, or Park in terms of name recognition. 11 million?? Good luck, Charlotte.
Make an offer
This one even shocked me. Prices start at 11 million! How more tone-deaf can one become. We are in the middle of a pandemic, the Upper West Side is fighting with itself on how to handle the increased homeless presence on our streets and in the hotels. Whoever decided to launch this now may need to rethink their campaign.
Well, to be fair, I’m sure the building was planned long before the pandemic, and the developer could not have foreseen that it would be completed just at this time.
As for the homeless, yes this site could have been used for that purpose, but then the NIMBYs would have sued to prevent it. As well, the solutions to homelessness – including housing – are not going to happen simply be not allowing one stupidly expensive building to be built. Were that it were so.
And meanwhile, we have 11,000 people in homeless shelters, plus ~5,000 on the street. I’m not suggesting we give them $11 million apartments. But maybe we need less $11 million apartments and more $1100 apartments.

“Pet-washing room?!” Talk about White privilege….
sexy ain’t it
Just went to the website for the building. Here is a direct quote.
“This building is defined not by how far above the ground we are but by how close we are to the principles that keep us grounded.Wellness, Beauty, Form and Function.”

Let’s just take a moment and think about that!
I agree.
I can just imagine how DHS will react when they read the prospective for this building!!! They will be demanding space be allocated for the homeless…..
Who do the developers think I’d going to pay that kind of money to live on Columbus Avenue?? Do they think the proximity to the 20 precinct is a plus?? I will be surprised if they sell these units for half of the asking price. Someone didn’t go their homework.

DHS has no say, nor will it care. This is not an 80/20 project, nor was it ever going to be. There were never going to be affordable housing units, so DHS has no say in anything regarding this building.
That said, I agree that an $11 million STARTING price is pretty silly.
I had to read it twice because I couldn’t believe the $11 million. This is a fine example of what is wrong with our society.
and no parking
the horrors
Agree! And that’s $11 million for a LOWER floor. The higher floors will be MUCH more than that.
What did you think of the pictures of the rooms? In my opinion, the kitchen and bathroom don’t look like they belong in an $11 million dollar apartment…very cold and sterile….
I thought it looked like every other nondescript post-war, white box apartment. That is why I’m so shocked about the price. There are apartments in this city worth that price and they have the views, bones, history etc to command it. But this. In the middle of the block off of cpw, riverside, wea, or 5th. It just seems like a bad joke. I can’t wrap my head around it.
Great..you can be millionaire in the city..but NO SERVICES below.
Who in their right mind with money would move into the city.
