One Prospect Park West is an incredible Classical Revival building located directly on Prospect Park that comes complete with an intriguing history. It was built in 1925 by the Knights of Columbus and served as a lavish hotel, clubhouse and hotspot for Park Slope society events for nearly 40 years. Now, the golden era building—which previously boasted eclectic features such as a bowling alley, a ballroom and even an indoor swimming pool—is being converted by developer Sugar Hill Capital Partners and transformed into a collection of luxury residences by WORKSTEAD, the acclaimed design studio behind the Wythe Hotel and Hudson’s Rivertown Lodge, representing the firm’s very first residential development.

This 2,695-square-foot residence includes three bedrooms and three and a half baths, along with a den that opens to a spacious living area with large windows framing views of Prospect Park, and features an array of playful textures and contemporary furnishings.

Offering traditional forms and pre-war inspired details executed through a modern lens, including reclaimed heart-pine floorboards and crafted moldings and paneling, WORKSTEAD's design is attracting a stream of buyers on the hunt for their next home, as evidenced by One Prospect Park West’s spate of recent activity, including the record-breaking sale of the most expensive condominium to ever go into contract in the Park Slope neighborhood.

Residents will have access to an array of luxurious amenities designed by WORKSTEAD. In addition to a basketball court, movement studio, fitness center, spa and library, the building will also feature a rooftop meadow (complete with an apple orchard!) designed by ODA, representing the acclaimed architecture firm's first-ever landscape-only commission.

NYC Residential Buildings That Are Actually Benefitting From COVID

According to a recent study, 62% of respondents report that the pandemic has caused a shift in what they value in a home, and most are now looking for larger outdoor areas. While we may be nearing the end of COVID below are just a few examples of buildings benefitting and how trends may stay for the future.

Townhouse on The Park

Just steps from Murray Park in Long Island City, Townhouse on The Park is a brand new, tech forward, luxury rental development offering 75 3-bedroom triplex apartments. “Not only does Townhouse on The Park offer private outdoor space for all units, but it’s also just steps from Murray Park, LIC’s largest green space not situated along the East River. This is a huge draw for residents looking to remain in the city, as the park essentially serves as an extension of the building’s green space and allows residents to feel safe without being cooped up indoors.” – Andres Emilio Soto, agent at Modern Spaces whois exclusively handling marketing and leasing.

The building offers a  private outdoor space for almost every unit via a private garden or rooftop balcony; wellness amenities like in-unit MIRROR home gym systems; “bonus” rooms aka home office, nursery or gym; and ample space, with apartments ranging from 1,583-2,288 square feet (more than twice the size of the average NYC apartment).

567 Ocean

A Sloan Kettering Registered Nurse, who currently lives in Astoria, purchased at 567 Ocean sight unseen due to her hectic schedule. The proximity to the iconic Prospect Park (less than half a mile away) was what heavily influenced her to move forward – she also plans to have a dog once she moves in, who she’ll be able to share the enjoyment of living by the park with. This represents an overall increase in activity in the mid-range condo market (specifically within the $500k to $1M range), as first-time homebuyers take advantage of low interest rates.

“People have been stuck inside their homes for 8 months now and they’re realizing the importance of outdoor space – both as a condo amenity, and as a neighborhood amenity. The proximity to Prospect Park has obviously been a huge driver for buyers, but also with the current interest rates, it’s never been a better time to invest at 567 Ocean.” – Tamar Krasnow, VP of New Development, MNS

Bloom on Forty Fifth

Located in the heart of Hell’s Kitchen on 10th Avenue and 45th Street, luxury condominium, Bloom on Forty Fifth, is situated closely to both Hudson River Park and Central Park. In addition to being in close proximity to both public parks, Bloom also features its own private green space, a 8,000 square-foot landscaped courtyard. The condo building has seen strong interest thus far from buyers being attracted to both the public and private green spaces that Bloom offers.

“We have seen buyers' priorities shift during the pandemic with a greater desire for outdoor space than ever before. Buyers not only want access to private outdoor spaces, but also proximity to parks as an extension of their home.” – David Chang, Sales Director at Bloom on Forty Fifth.

Tucked into the crossroads of Fort Greene, Boerum Hill, and Brooklyn Heights, ODA’s head of interior design, Ryoko Okada, created a refuge from the busy city streets.

The lobby connects to the alleyway behind the building, Grove Place, creating a visual thruway and passageway over the sunken residents’ lounge.

Extending the warm slatted wood details into the double-height residents' lounge, ODA created a space for gathering and relaxation. The lounge's skylight allows for natural sunshine, while the swirling marbled wall and fireplace add warmth and texture to the space.

INC-Designed Saint Marks Place Rises in Boerum Hill

Avdoo & Partners Development announced this week the topping out of Saint Marks Place, a hand crafted 100-residence condominium project in the quintessential brownstone neighborhood of Boerum Hill. With a comprehensive design vision by INCArchitecture & Design, a series of lush, landscaped gardens by Terrain, and a 360-degree holistic wellness and fitness environment curated by The WrightFit — Saint Marks Place combines modern design intelligence with a historic sense of place.

@Grain_London

Topping out 125 feet tall with 12 floors, Saint Marks Place is designed with an intentional nod to the neighborhood that surrounds it. The building echoes the scale of the brownstones nearby, with an elevated, sculpted façade inspired by the proportions of the classic brownstone exterior. The façade is modernized by 8,000 bold, vertical modules in custom Agrob Buchtal-manufactured terra cotta, a classic component of New York architecture. The building boasts 338 windows, which were thoughtfully designed to emphasize natural light and access to fresh air.

“Our cities are on the verge of an unprecedented rebirth,” said Adam Rolston, partner of INC Architecture & Design. “How we live, work and play in the urban environment will be transformed. In addition to boasting beautiful private residences with a connection to the natural light and outdoors we all crave, Saint Marks Place will constitute a village within a borough that can support meaningful social connections to enhance both the physical and emotional health of new kind of urban life.”

Nineteen thousand square feet of full-service amenities at Saint Marks Place are thoughtfully planned around an outdoor Central Garden – designed by Terrain and featuring 55 species of plants and trees – with plenty of exposure to natural light and abundant access to outdoor space. Saint Marks Place will offer 39 unique residence types of studios to four-bedrooms. Nearly 80 percent of all residences have private outdoor space.
