Construction is nearing completion for the impressive, 7-story condominium apartment building at 22 Mercer Street between Howard and Grand Streets in SoHo.
The red-brick building extends through the block to 443-5 Broadway where the facade is a very handsome Tuckahoe marble with a large, pedimented cornice.
The 16-unit project has been developed by Property Markets Group of which Kevin Maloney is a principal and the restoration work has been designed by Traboscia Roiatti Architects, which is also known as TRA Studio.
Robert Traboscia, the architect, told CityRealty.Com today that two floors were added to the building, which was built in 1860.
The building, whose residential entrance is on Mercer Street, has two- and three-bedroom apartments and two triplex and two duplex penthouses.
The building is distinguished by four lightwells that are lined with glass with ceramic patterns of dots and very reflective Trespa panels. The lightwells taper outwards as they rise to the roof on which there is a 3,000-square foot common recreational roof that faces the Lower Manhattan skyline. The lightwells provide light in master and second bedrooms and glass walls in corridors.
The architects also have designed 501 Broadway that runs through the block to 72 Mercer Street.
