The handsome 12-story building at 11 East 36th Street is being converted by The Bobker Group to 68 condominium apartments and three commercial condominiums.
The mid-block building, which is known now as "Morgan Lofts" is distinguished by a tall open colonnade on its roof. The building is half a block to the west of the Morgan Library on Madison Avenue.
According to Ben Bobker of The Bobker Group the building was erected circa 1911 and Steven Kratchman is the architect for the conversion. Mr. Bobker said that the apartments will have high ceilings and the building will have entrances on 36th and 37th Streets.
The building, which houses The Ginger Man restaurant, has archted windows on the 3rd, 5th, 6th, 8th and 9th floors. It has a polished red granite entrance surround and had been acquired last year from LH Charney & Associates for about $17 million, according to Alan Krumholz of Besen & Associates, the broker in the transaction.
