The Soma at 116 West 22nd Street in Chelsea has sold out and occupancy is anticipated later this spring.
The 11-story building has 10 condominium apartments and originally was a four-story industrial property. The conversion and enlargement has been designed by Patrick Han of HB2 Architects.
The Bobker Group is the developer and it is also nearing completion of the Morgan Lofts at 11 East 36th Street.
The mid-block building has a mostly glass facade with floor-to-ceiling windows and a lobby highlighted by a handsome slate wall, a reflecting pool and a bamboo grove.
All apartments have central air-conditioning, washers and dryers, 9-foot-three-inch ceilings and private storage and there is a private fitness area. Kitchens have slate floors and countertops and the masterbaths have travertine marble walls and separate showers.
The penthouses have gas fireplaces. In early 2005, one of the penthouses with 1,801 square feet, two bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths had an asking price of $2,700,000 while other two-bedroom units in the building ranging in size from 1,567 to 1,746 square feet of space had prices of about $1,630,000 to $1,795,000.
The Bobker Group is headed by Ben Bobker and has been active in the New York metropolitan area and on the West Coast.
Financing for the project was provided by the China Trust Bank.
