Carter's Review

This attractive, mid-block, mid-rise, 8-story apartment building at 75 First Avenue between 4^th and 5^th streets on the East Village has 22 condominium apartments. 

It was erected in 2017 by the Colonnade Group, which bought out its previous partners, Ozymandius Realty and Orange Management, in 2015 for $12.9 million.

It was designed by Stefano Pasqualetti and Thomas O’Hara. 

The building is substantially cantilevered over an adjoining one-story retail building and it has lot line windows through a zoning lot merger. 

A previous design for the site by HTO Architect called for a 14-story building with 27 years.

Stefano Farsura did the interiors.

Bottom Line

A handsome, modern, mid-rise, mid-block building with floor-to-ceiling windows in the East Village with a significant cantilever over an adjoining one-story retail building.

Description

The building has a handsome, glass-and-metal panel façade with an alternate fenestration pattern.

The building’s top two floors are partially setback at the south corner.

The building has a very handsome lobby and concierge station.

Amenities

The building has a doorman, a fitness center, a roof deck, a lounge/library with a fireplace and billiards table, bicycle storage and tenant storage.
