The name of the 20-story residential condominium building planned for 230 West 78th Street has been changed from Amsterdam 78 to Linden 78.
The project is a development of Urban Residential Properties of which Christopher Martorella is the chief executive officer and sole principal.
Handel & Associates is the architectural firm for the project and the rendering at the right appears on the website of Urban Residential.

The building, which is on the south side of 78th Street between Amsterdam and Broadway, will have a 24-hour doorman and 34 apartments, a roof deck, and bicycle storage.
The rendering of the building indicates that the building will have setbacks at the 13th, 15th and 18th floors and that a west section of the building will be cantilevered at about the sixth floor.

An offering plan was filed with the New York State Attorney General's office April 27, 2006 with a total offering price of $109,525,000.
