The New York State Attorney General's Office has approved the condominium apartment offering plan for 330 Spring Street, the 12-story apartment building known as the "Urban Glass House" that was designed by Philip Johnson, who died recently, and Alan Ritchie.
The sleek, glass-clad building, is now in construction in SoHo and will have several setbacks and it takes its name from the famous New Canaan, Conn., home of Philip Johnson, the architect.
It will have 40 apartments and a spokesperson for the project said that already about a quarter of the units have been spoken for.
Glass House Development LLC, a partnership of Abram Shnay, Charles Blaichman and Scott Sabbagh, recently acquired the site and the architectural plans from Greenwich Street Partners LLC for about $24 million.
Anabelle Selldorf, who has designed interiors for the Neue Gallerie on Fifth Avenue at 86th Street and many prominent contemporary artists such as Eric Fishcl and David Salle, will design the lobby and interiors.
