Bloom on Forty Fifth brings a natural and contextual aesthetic to the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood, with a light façade made of glass, steel, and reinforced concrete.

With thoughtfully designed floorplans, Marvel Architects designed light-filled north-, south-, east- and west-facing residences, with select homes featuring private outdoor space. Bloom’s double-glazed, oversized windows invite an abundance of natural light throughout the interiors and offer energy efficiency.

The open-plan kitchens feature integrated Miele appliances, custom white-washed oak cabinetry, and Caesarstone countertops. Most kitchens are designed with a central prep-island or a wrap-around breakfast bar and dining alcove. The elegant master bathrooms have been designed with glass tile mosaic flooring, a custom white-washed oak vanity, and a walk-in shower or soaking tub with shower, both enclosed within Danube marble walls. “Bloom on Forty Fifth offers buyers a unique opportunity to own in Manhattan’s new West Side in a low-rise building that features incredible views of old and new architecture,” said David Chang, the Sales Director at Compass DMG.

Maria Velazquez

Compass, has announced the arrival of a dynamic duo—Maria Velazquez and Davina Arroyave.

The veteran Velazquez team specializes in selling luxury homes in New York City and Florida and routinely represents international buyers, working on everything from new developments to bulk investment sales.

Maria is no stranger to headlines, having worked on impressive deals, including a bulk sale of over $40 million at 15 Willams Street and multiple units at 60 Riverside, paid in cash by investors who scored deals—accounting for 25 percent of sales in the building. 

Before Compass, Maria was a top agent at Douglas Elliman but decided to join Compass for its innovative digital tools. For example, Compass Lens launched last year and is an Al-powered tool that allows homeowners to envision what homes would look like with cosmetic upgrades to maximize their value.

"To stay at the top of the real estate industry, I need the best tools, and with Compass, I can send my clients the latest data and insights completely from my phone and showcase homes in a modern and compelling way," said Maria. 

A native of Colombia, Maria has resided in New York for 15 years, turning a two-week stay into a dedicated career in Big Apple real estate, breaking sales records and establishing herself as a highly sought-after agent. When not advising her local and international client base, Maria travels extensively throughout South America and other parts of the world and is a certified sommelier and food connoisseur.
