Shortly after AORE Capital purchased the former site of a BP gas station in 2014, a rendering of a 10-story condominium for 32 East 1st Street was released. The design by Combined, a joint partnership between RSVP Studio and N-Plus Design Studio, showed a “lively and geometric” building with large windows in metal frames protruding from a stone-colored façade. Two years after construction began, the expansive triple-pane windows are in and the limestone façade is up. The building is now open for immediate occupancy with the 17 sales recorded so far achieving an impressive closing average of $2,597 per square foot.

High-end apartments in such a desirable location have naturally attracted attention. As of early November, just four apartments are being marketed to the public. They include a one-bedroom on the fourth floor priced at $1,175,000 and a 3-bed/3-bath on the second floor asking $3,625,000. There is also a 3-bedroom penthouse with a terrace and large private roof deck listed for $10.5 million. See all availabilities here.
The building's expansive windows fill the 31 residences with light, which are further enhanced by high ceilings. The high-tech homes come with integrated Sonos audio systems, controlled recessed lighting, electronic Lutron shades, and custom Molteni closets. Open kitchens are outfitted with marble slab countertops and backsplash, custom brushed oak wood Italian cabinets and a full suite of state-of-the-art appliances. Spa-like Roman travertine baths feature radiant heated floors, glass-enclosed rain shower, and brushed solid oak wood vanity.
Amenities at 32 East 1st Street will include a lounge with private courtyard, a fitness center with cardio and strength areas, and a hydrotherapy spa with hot tub and sauna. Its location one block north of Houston Street puts it on the cusp of the East Village and the Lower East Side; as a result, the best restaurants and nightlife in each neighborhood are a short walk from the building.
