NEW YORK, Sept. 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Toll Brothers City Living®, the urban development division of Toll Brothers, Inc., (NYSE: TOL), the nation's leading builder of luxury homes, is launching sales for 55 West 17th Street – a boutique-style, luxury condominium in the heart of Chelsea designed by the renowned firm Morris Adjmi Architects. The sales gallery is located at 15 West 18th Street on the eighth floor and anticipated to open on September 28th.
Located on West 17th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, the 19-story building offers 53 residences ranging from one- to four-bedrooms. Upper floor residences present beautiful Manhattan views, and an expansive duplex penthouse with a private terrace and outdoor swimming pool graces the entirety of the building's top floors.
"55 West 17th Street is in a prime Chelsea location, where residents can enjoy access to the vibrant neighborhood's many dining, cultural and shopping destinations," said David Von Spreckelsen, the New York Division President of Toll Brothers City Living. "We carefully considered every aspect of the living spaces at 55 West 17th Street to create comfortable homes with modern finishes, classical detailing, and a great array of lifestyle services and amenities."
In a modern interpretation of the cast-iron metalwork of the Ladies Mile Historic District, the facade of 55 West 17th Street is crafted of handmade Danish brick; the cornice, window frames, and entrance details are fashioned of bronze architectural metal. The lobby floor showcases a delicate, geometric floral design, which is a scaled translation of the pattern surrounding the grand staircase at Paris's Opera house, Palais Garnier.
"We are thrilled to partner with Toll Brothers in building a residence that is designed sensitively within the historic context of this dynamic neighborhood," said architect Morris Adjmi. "55 West 17th Street pays homage to the Beaux-Arts-inspired design of the area with its layering of traditional materials such as lacquered walls and Venetian plaster next to more modern materials such as concrete, metal and a variety of textured surfaces throughout the building's common spaces."
The graciously appointed homes feature a variety of open floor plans with wide plank white oak flooring throughout. Modern kitchens offer custom oak cabinetry, Bianco Oro marble countertops and backsplashes, wine refrigerators and Gaggenau appliances. Each home is equipped with a Bosch washer and dryer.
Luxurious master bathrooms are adorned with Bianco Dolomiti marble walls and floors, and accented by a Bianco Carrara marble feature wall. White Carrara marble vanity tops and backsplashes are paired with black oak custom cabinets. Secondary bathrooms are furnished with black oak cabinetry and Bianco Dolomiti vanity tops, Bianco Cielo marble floors, and Moroccan Zellige tile walls. Powder rooms offer pillowed tile walls, Montclair Danby marble vanity tops and Virginia Mist granite floors. Dornbracht hardware is featured throughout.
Amenities include full-time doorman and concierge service, a fully-equipped fitness center, a children's playroom, a double height lounge with a billiards table, a screening room, and bicycle storage. Residents can enjoy the outdoors from a common landscaped terrace on the building's second floor which features a gas grill and comfortable seating areas. Storage units and parking are available for purchase. The building also houses approximately 5,000 square feet of ground floor retail space on 17th street.
Located just blocks from Union Square, 55 West 17th Street is at home in the arts-centric Chelsea neighborhood known for its plentiful galleries. The building is close to many cultural institutions, wonderful restaurants, shops and conveniences. Groceries and markets abound nearby, including Chelsea Market, Eataly, and Whole Foods. Public transportation is easily accessible with many subway lines and trains nearby including the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, N, Q, R, F, M, L and PATH.
Occupancy at 55 West 17th Street is slated for winter 2016 and prices begin at $1.5M. Sales and marketing are jointly handled by Toll Brothers City Living and Stribling Marketing Associates.
