Sales have started at 238 West 108th Street, a six-unit residential condominium building that is scheduled for completion this fall.
The building, which is in the Manhattan Valley neighborhood, has been named Columbia House.
The building has been designed by Mihai Radu Architects for 238 West 108 Realty LLC of Kings Point, N.Y., of which Robert Greenberg is a member.
The building, which will have a canopied entrance, has a red-brick facade with white decorative trim at its sides and around its multi-paned windows. There is an arched window on the first floor and a larger arched window on the 5th floor.
According to Mr. Radu, the building attempts to be contextual on the street but has a quite modern rear facade with alternating glass paneled indented balconies.
The kitchens have Subzero refrigerators, 4-burner Viking stove, and Bosch dishwashers and washer and dryers. Baths have private toilet closets, Jerusalem Gold limestone floors and walls, BainUltra Jacuzzi tubs with separate steam showers and Wenge wood veneer cabinetry.
The penthouse has an outdoor fireplace and water and gas hookups. The apartments have gas fireplaces, bamboo hardwood floors, 9-foot ceilings, video intercom, private key-locked elevator access, and individual cedar lined seasonal storage wardrobe closets with phone jacks "for when you forget what you went looking for."
The second through the fifth floors are priced starting at $1,810,000.
