Marketing has started for the 9-story residential condominium building at 41 Bond Street in NoHo.
The building has been designed by DDG Partners, which is also building it. Apartments range from about $5 million to more than $8 million, according to an article by Sara Polsky today at ny.curbed.com.
The building's Bond Street facade is bluestone with inset windows. The building's rear facade has balconies with large glass windows.
The Landmarks Preservation Commission granted a certificate of appropriateness on June 24, 2009 for a 8-unit, residential condominium building at 41-3 Bond Street that has shutters on its front facade and a very modern glass and metal rear facade.
The 8-story project was then being developed by Adam Gordon, who recently acquired the famous Bouwerie Lane Theater on the north side of the same street at 54 Bond Street on the northwest corner at The Bowery.
Steven Harris was the architect for the new building and he also designed Mr. Gordon's townhouse at 92 Jane Street.
The limestone-clad building was to be distinguished by its traditional-looking, metal window shutters on the second through the seventh floors. The design also called for a deep overhang above the set-back top floor to create shadows like a cornice although it does not extend beyond the building line. In addition, the building's elegant design called for a very thin glass canopy that would protrude about 8 feet in front of the building and be hung from rods that diagonally attach to the building's facade.
The building would be the first new one in the recently designated extension of the NoHo Historic District that has made such famous other recently designed and built buildings on the same cobblestone block as 25, 40 and 48 Bond Street landmarks.
DDG took over the site in 2009.
The Bond Street building has seven apartments including the duplex penthouse.
DGG Development used bluestone as a facade material at a townhouse at 24 Warren Street with very spectacular interiors. The building was formerly a warehouse that was built in 1915 but it was gutted and extensively renovated last year with an "all-glass cornice" and entrance marquee, a private gym, a climbing wall, a green roof and private elevator access.
An earlier project by the same developers and architects is Luquer 3, a group of three new townhouses surrounding a 19th Century convent in Carroll Gardens that won the 2007 Chamber of Commerce's Building Brooklyn Award for best multi-family project in Brooklyn.
Luquer 3 is distinguished by the very dramatic roof canopies on either side of a more conventional cornice on the street facade and by the sunken gardens and bold facades at the back of the building.
Joseph A. McMillan Jr. is the chief executive officer of DDG Partners and John C. Keeler is senior advisor and general counsel, Christopher J. Prokop is chief operating officer and Peter G. Guthrie is chief creative office and head of design and construction.
DDG Partners' other projects include the residential buildings at 233 East 17th Street, which is near Stuyvesant Park and is known as Landmark 17, and 7 Essex Street, which overlooks Seward Park.
A May 10, 2010 article by Anton Troianovski in The Wall Street Journal noted that DDG Partners had acquired the loan to a site at 345 West 14th Street site at a discount from CapitalSource Finance LLC. The site had formerly been held for development by Charles Blaichman and Abram Schnay who had joined with Andre Balzacs and Jay-Z to acquire the site for $30 million.
