Carter's Review

This handsome, 17-story residential condominium was completed in 2012 and developed by Anbau Enterprises Incorporation of which Barbara Van Beuren and Stephen Glascock, a husband-and-wife team of architects, are the principals. 

Anbau converted the former Intercontinental Hotel at 110 Central Park South in condominium apartments and also converted Harsen House on West 72^nd Street into the first LEED-certified residential building on the Upper West Side. 

The 29-unit, mid-block building, which is called Citizen, was designed by BKSK Architects and anticipates receiving LEED Gold certification.

Bottom Line

This good looking, brick-and-terracotta, mid-rise building has a very central location in Chelsea with a concierge, a roof deck and very good public transportation.

Description

The beige-brick-and-terracotta building has a couple of setbacks and is highlighted by the wide and slightly indented windows in the center of its façade behind horizontal accent lines that extend across the façade. 

The building has about 4,000-square feet of retail space on its ground floor where there is a very handsome vestibule gate and an attractive, paneled lobby.

Amenities

The building has a 24-hour concierge, a fitness room, bicycle room, a storage room, a lounge and a recreation area.
