Carter's Review

This very handsome residential condominium building at 435 East 11th Street is scheduled for completion in 2017.  It is known as Steiner East Village. 

The 6-story building, whose main entrance is at 438 East 12th Street, has 82 apartments.

The developer is Steiner NYC, which is headed by Douglas C. Steiner, who acquired the site, formerly occupied by twin copper-topped bell towers of the Mary Help of Christians Church, from the Archdiocese of New York in 2012 for $41 million.  The church closed in 2007.

Mr. Steiner lived in the East Village from 2005 to 2014 before moving to Williamsburg in Brooklyn.

S9 Architecture has designed the building.

Paris Farino is the interior designer.

Bottom Line

This is a very attractive new low-rise building in the East Village distinguished by its multi-pane windows and nice two-tone massing.

Description

The red-brick building has multi-paned windows, and its top floor and part of its main façades are covered in dark metal panels.

Amenities

The building has a fitness center with a 50-foot-long swimming pool, a children’s playroom, 10-foot-ceilings, sidewalk landscaping and a garage.

Apartments

Apartment D on the 5th and 6th floors is a three-bedroom unit with a 24-foot-long living/dining room adjacent to a 12-foot-wide, pass-through kitchen.

Apartment 4F is a three-bedroom unit with an entry foyer that leads to an 18-foot-long dining room next to a 20-foot-long living room.  The unit has a 13-foot-wide, pass-through kitchen.

Apartment G and the 5th and 6th floors is a two-bedroom unit with a 13-foot-long living/dining room next to a 10-foot-long, open, pass-through kitchen.

Apartment H on the 3rd and 4th floors is a one-bedroom unit with an entry foyer that leads past a 9-foot-long, pass-through kitchen to a 33-foot-long living/dining room.

History

An April 1, 2016 article in The New York Times by C. J. Hughes noted that the building will have a 10,000-square-foot store on Avenue A where a playground for the church’s school used to host a popular flea market.

The article noted that “the project was delayed in part because plans changed,” adding that “a luxury rental building with 160 units was originally envisioned for the site, but banks were reluctant to back it since it was an untested product for the area.”  The article said that a four-bedroom penthouse with 1,364 square feet of terraces is being offered for $11,250,000 and that one-bedroom units start at about $1.1 million.
