When the developers of Greenwich West, a condo at 110 Charlton Street where studios start at $1.1 million and three-bedrooms start at $3.925 million, began designing model units late last year, they partnered with Design Within Reach to furnish the apartments with upscale, but not absurdly expensive furniture — a decision that seems even more appropriate now.

Manhattans Hudson Square ist um ein Wohnjuwel reicher. Im „Greenwich West“ bringt der Pariser Designer Sébastien Segers Trends und Wünsche auf den Punkt.

At Greenwich West, we have made sure that the windows are a space in themselves and that a maximum of apartments have exterior spaces in the continuity of the interiors. If you are near the windows, you’ll see the marine edge with the curves at each corner, which allow you to be near light and enjoy it, and that separates you from other common areas even in the shared space.

ncorporating green spaces with fine art, the 290 feet tall Greenwich West commissioned the artist Aaron Zulpo to create five oil paintings that represent and depict life throughout the residential tower. The building draws its inspiration from 20th century French designs conceived by Parisian design teams.

What’s old is new again – we’ve seen it happen in the fashion world often enough, and so it is the case with New York architecture. Following the great fire of 1835, New York mandated that all buildings be made of non-combustible materials. This led to a brick building boom with architecture luminaries like J.E.R. Carpenter, Emery Roth, and Rosario Candela setting new standards for residential living with brick and limestone cooperatives rising on the Upper East Side and Upper West Side.

Hudson Square’s newest residential tower, Greenwich West, offers a modern downtown lifestyle in one of New York City’s most vibrant and exciting neighborhoods. Located at 110 Charlton Street, the 30-story building is being designed by a team of acclaimed design world visionaries led by French female architect Francoise Raynaud, founder of the Parisian architecture and design firm Loci-Anima.

In a move away from walls of glass, some developers are using hand-laid, hand-carved bricks and stone to create authentic masonry facades.

An example of this is seen at Greenwich West, which features a handmade brick facade with custom glazed brick accents made specially for the project by Wienerberger of Belgium and industrial-style casement windows framed by hand-laid brick and custom pewter-glazed brick borders.

It is about to be cold again and we all know that during the cold months all we wanna do is cozy up and be near a warm fireplace to comfort us. The fireplace can be seen as essential for a welcoming and comfortable aura in any home or luxury condominium. In fact, when it comes to luxury condo buildings developers are now going above and beyond to create distinctive residential lounges surrounding a fireplace that leave a lasting impression and makes residents and their guests feel right at home. Here’s a list of some of the coziest fireplaces in some of the most beautiful condos in NYC right now.

YIMBY went on a tour of Greenwich West, aka 110 Charlton Street, a 30-story residential building nearing completion in Hudson Square. Installation of the hand-laid brick masonry is nearly finished on the structure, which is designed by Francoise of Loci Anima along with Adamson Associates. The project is being developed by Strategic Capital, Cape Advisors, and Forum Absolute Capital Partners, while Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group is handling sales for the building’s 170 units.

Greenwich West, Hudson Square’s newest residential tower, is located in West SoHo at 110 Charlton Street and offers 170 loft-style residences ranging from studios to three-bedrooms, including penthouses. At 30 stories, one of the tallest buildings in the area, the condominium serves as an urban lookout, providing panoramas of the Hudson River, New York Harbor, and Statue of Liberty.

This fall, the first tower in New York City designed by a French female architect will reach full enclosure. Francoise Raynaud, along with her Paris-based firm Loci Anima, melds a Parisian influence with a New York City-style loft feel in Greenwich West.

With so many glass towers vying for attention in New York City, some developers are looking to the past for inspiration. The result: new buildings with Art Deco and neo-Georgian flourishes.

“Not all woods are created equal. You want to choose a wood that will stand up to continued use in a home. This means you should avoid woods that are overly soft or photosensitive, which can be damaged or discolored easily.”

As one of the tallest buildings to rise in Hudson Square, residents of Greenwich West will naturally have panoramic views of the Hudson River, New York Harbor, the Statue of Liberty, and the New York skyline. The handmade brick facade and industrial-style casement windows nod to the neighborhood’s heritage, while features like marble kitchen islands, integrated Miele appliances, and marble baths are designed to satisfy modern buyers.

“I don’t think this garage would have been viable a decade ago, to be honest with you,” said Arthur Blee, a senior vice president Cape Advisors, referring to the automated facility at Greenwich West, a condo he’s codeveloping in the Hudson Square neighborhood.

Parisian interior designer Sebastien Segers—known for his work with product designer Marc Newson and fashion houses such as Armani and Dior—takes on his first residential building in New York City with Greenwich West at 110 Charlton Street. “I wanted to experiment on a large scale with the design guidelines I have developed on more exclusive high-end projects, and New York is the place I dreamed about,” he says. “When doing a residential tower, you have to anticipate the community who will live there, the story they can share, and find the balance between the strong identity [of the building] and the ability of the space to be appropriated by its residents. The driver is: Do I want it for myself?”

Strategic Capital, Cape Advisors, and Forum Absolute Capital Partners have topped out Greenwich West, their new luxury condo in West Soho.
The 30-story building broke ground in July 2018 and launched sales of its 170 residences last fall, with closings slated to begin in early 2020.

Ambitious new projects are reshaping the skyline.

Architecture has long been a male-dominated field. According to the Los Angeles Times, nearly half of architecture school graduates in the United States are women, but only 18 percent of licensed practitioners are women. Many experience wage inequality and bias. And only three of the world’s biggest architecture firms are headed by women.

The condo will bring 170 apartments to the once-industrial neighborhood

One of several new developments transforming Hudson Square, Greenwich West has now launched sales on its 170 apartments. Construction is currently underway on the 30-story condo tower located at 110 Charlton Street, and when complete, the 290-foot skyscraper will be one of the tallest buildings in the immediate area.

Françoise Raynaud, a Parisian architect, has created a 30-story condo designed both to loom over and blend in with its fast-developing downtown neighborhood.

Despite all the construction cranes that can be spotted around New York City, it is still the rare woman who gets to design a major building in this town.

Annabelle Selldorf and the late Zaha Hadid realized various high-profile New York projects.
