The condominium section of the large project being developed by Edward J. Minskoff Equities in the Washington Market Urban Renewal District to the north of the World Trade Center site will be known as 101 Warren Street.
The project, which has been known as 270 Greenwich Street, will include 228 condominium apartments and 132 rental apartments and a large Whole Foods store. About 180 of the condominium units will be in a 32-story tower at the corner of West and Warren Streets, just to the south of another new condo tower, being developed by a different developer, at 200 Chambers Street. The rest of the condos will be in adjacent mid-rise structure on Warren Street and they will have loggias screened by two-story-high piers.
The facade of the condo tower will have a checkerboard fenestration pattern and will be faced with a sand-colored, textured granite from India.
The tower has been designed by Mustafa Abadan of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. Ismael Leyva Architects is handing the interior layouts and Victoria Hagan is doing interior design. Thomas Balsey Associates is handing the landscape design for the project.
Penthouses will have 20-foot-high outdoor loggias with Ipe wood decking and glass handrails and one- to four-bedroom units will range in size from 923 to more than 4,000 square feet.
The developer has commissioned a 14 ?-foot-high sculpture by Joel Shapiro for the building's entrances and two lobbies will be double-height and each will have a large tapestry by Roy Lichtenstein.
The project will have an "Artrium" on the fifth floor with a pine tree forest "resting on a red of rust-colored river rock and adjacent to a 8,400-square-foot-glass-walled health and fitness center and an indoor/outdoor children's play area.
Apartments have floor-to-ceiling windows and South American walnut Lapacho wood floors and ceilings range in height from 10 to 12 feet. Kitchens have Bulthaup b3 fixtures and Sub-Zero, Miele and Bosch appliances and Master baths have Bianco Lucido lazed ceramic tiling, and Wenge wood vanities, Imperial Danby marble floors and countertops.
The condominium building has a doorman, a concierge, a residential manager and, a "Bloomberg Financial Lounge" and a "Board Room" facility and on-site parking and storage.
Occupancy is anticipated for the fall 2007.
Half of the rental units, which will have their own entrance in low-rise buildings on Greenwich and Murray Streets, will be market-rate, 30 percent for middle-income and 20 percent for low-income.
The developer is contributing $7.5 million for the maintenance of the Washington Market Park and another $3 million for a community center on an adjacent block.
