124 West 16th Street Sells Out Amidst Pandemic

124 West 16th Street

Developer Grid Group, along with exclusive sales and marketing agent, Corcoran New Development, has announced announce that the final 9th floor residence at 124 West 16th Street is officially in contract.  Nicole Hechter of The Corcoran Group, along with Masayo Hashimoto, led sales at this highly-successful loft-inspired building with a distinctive bluestone façade.

The average sales price of the boutique building’s 15 units was over $5.8 million and $2,370 per square foot - well above the Manhattan market-wide average.  In addition, nearly every apartment received multiple offers.

“Grid Group has their the finger on the pulse of what New Yorkers desire in a home today,” explains Hechter.  “124 West 16th Street is a next-level boutique building with custom upgrades and generous floor plans - all with private outdoor space.  Plus with the building nearly complete, new owners can move in promptly – and avoid years of waiting.  These factors all resonated strongly with buyers.  Many walked in and immediately knew it was ‘the one.’”

“The pace of sales at 124 West 16th Street exceeded all expectations,” added John Felicetti, Vice President of New Development at The Corcoran Group. “To sell out during one of the most complicated markets in history is a testament to the talented sales team, calibrated pricing, and the superior quality Grid Group upholds in all of their buildings.”

Sales Now Underway New Upper West Side Condominiums at 212 West 72nd Street

Last week was the sales launch of 212 West 72nd Street, an iconic, modern Upper West Side building that is currently undergoing a top-to-bottom transformation into condominium residences. Built in 2010 as the neighborhood’s premier rental building formerly known as “The Corner,” 212 West 72nd Street is a rare gem for its prime, convenient location at the corner of Broadway and 72nd Street, its beautiful Central Park views and its airy, light-filled residences. It's made even more rare by the fact that is could possibly become the last rental conversion in NYC (following new legislation passed in 2019).

“212 West 72nd Street is truly a one-of-a-kind project,” said John Tashjian, a managing partner at Centurion Property Investors. “As we were planning the redesign, we were overwhelmed by the amount of inquiries we received from former renters who were interested in returning to the building as owners. They know first-hand about the building’s prime location in the heart of the Upper West Side and wanted to secure their spot in its next life as a luxury condominium. The new 212 West 72nd Street was designed with a modern New York lifestyle in mind, and we’re excited to launch sales and show people why this building has such a strong following.” 

212 West 72nd Street’s residences range in size from 714 square feet to 3,070 square feet, with select homes also boasting spacious private terraces with cinematic Upper West Side vistas. Many of the residences feature open floor plans that take advantage of the building’s curved glass façade, a concept that provides abundant light and commanding vistas that is specifically unique to 212 West 72nd Street.

RECENT SPACES

The furnished model residences showcase the lifestyle that buyers can experience at 212 West 72nd Street, including one- to four-bedroom layouts.

In each of the 126 residences, the living and dining rooms are open, spacious and elevated by high-performance floor-to-ceiling windows that reduce noise and protect against glare, ultraviolet exposure and solar heat gain. The layouts also promote flexibility, supporting quality time at home as well as formal entertaining. “It was important to us that residents could easily adapt their homes to fit the needs of their individual lifestyles,” Nancy Ruddy said of the design.  

Giving attention to the details that matter most, CetraRuddy also took every opportunity to optimize storage, emphasize light and create flow throughout the residences. The firm selected a soft color palette of neutral tones, subtle metallic accents and unique textures to complement the light-filled interiors, and incorporated finishes such as white lacquer and quartzite in the kitchens, and white oak plank flooring throughout. In the custom kitchens, the cabinetry and countertops are not only designed for form, but also for function with plenty of storage spaces.

The transformation of 212 West 72nd Street includes all indoor and outdoor amenity spaces. Residents will arrive home to an elegantly redesigned lobby staffed with a full-time concierge. The softly illuminated double-height space features walnut paneling, custom-finished walls and archways, and terrazzo flooring.

Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group is the exclusive marketing and sales firm for 212 West 72nd Street.

As the crown jewel of 555 West End Avenue, the landmarked Beaux Arts Catholic School that has been transformed into the Upper West Side's most unique condominium, the Terrace Penthouse is the ultimate residential oasis in New York City. This stunning four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom duplex penthouse spans over 5,000 square feet, with 2,200 square feet of interior space and an incredible 2,800 square feet of private outdoor space across two levels: a sweeping wraparound terrace with river and skyline views, and a full-floor rooftop terrace.

One of only 13 homes in the building, the Terrace Penthouse is accessed via direct elevator entry and provides the feeling of an expansive private home. The penthouse is ideal for the best of both worlds: privacy and entertaining. The interior living areas are spread across two full floors -- the kitchen, living and great rooms on the second level, while the bedroom suites, den and laundry occupy the private lower level -- and the development itself offers residents access to the Upper West Side's world-class dining, elite private schools and famous cultural attractions, but also a peaceful respite on a tree- and brownstone-lined street. It's even moments from the entrance to the Henry Hudson Parkway, making a quick getaway Upstate or to Connecticut for those looking to spend weekends at their second home. Closings are underway and immediate occupancy is available. The Terrace Penthouse is currently on the market for $22.5M.

This apartment is located at 1326 Madison Avenue Apartment 55 on the Upper East Side, is a one-bedroom, one-bathroom masterpiece. Completely renovated by architect Ted Porter, it has a flexible layout that allows owners to transform the dining room into a second bedroom— and it even features a murphy bed. Natural light floods in from south and east exposures, too. 

The unit is currently owned by Bogotá-based artist Lorenza Panero, who has clearly made her mark on the space. As detailed in a 2017 feature article in Cottages & Gardens, Panero reconfigured the apartment with an artist’s eye, adding custom cabinets and movable partitions. It’s yet another reason that this apartment is one of a kind.

The co-op is situated in an elegant pre-war building that was originally built in 1900 and is located right on Madison Avenue, in the prestigious Carnegie Hill neighborhood. Also of note: It’s only a block away from Central Park.

The apartment is listed for $1,325,000 by Cecilia Serrano and Hala Lawrence of Warburg Realty.

Following a decade of developing a successful track record, the official name change illustrates the next phase of the firm’s evolution, highlighted by Zion joining the partnership. 

Founded in 2011, Acram Group focuses on the acquisition, development and management of covered land, office, multi-family and flex-industrial properties throughout the United States.

In his new role, Zion joins fellow managing principals, J. Matthew Cassin and David Taylor, to lead the firm. With a combined 60+ years of real estate experience, the partners will oversee Acram Group’s diverse, mixed-asset platform while simultaneously expanding the firm’s national reach and capabilities.

“I’m thrilled to embark on this next chapter with The Acram Group,” said Zion. “The partnership with Matt and David, my former colleagues, feels like a natural fit and I look forward to continuing to champion them in taking this impressive platform they have built and working alongside them to bring it to the next level of success.”

Prior to joining Acram Group earlier this year, Zion served as SL Green Realty Corp.’s (NYSE: SLG) co-Chief Investment Officer from 2011 through July of 2020 after having joined the organization in 2007.

Over his career, he has played a senior role in over $50 billion of investment activity, and in over 20 million square feet of leasing.

“The 10th anniversary of JMC Holdings signifies both the achievement of a major milestone for the company and a pivotal moment for David and I in deciding its future growth and evolution,” said J. Matthew Cassin, founding principal of Acram Group. “Isaac will be a terrific partner, as our longstanding relationship and frequent collaboration regarding strategy, growth opportunities, market dynamics, etc. lent themselves to recognition of a collective strategic vision that addressed the company’s outgrowth and laid the foundation for Acram Group.
