⬆️ Designed by the award-winning architecture studio SO-IL, the building is draped in a shimmering skin of perforated lightweight metal that reflects light throughout the day.
⬆️ The 14-story mid-rise offers views of the historic Cathedral Basilica of St. James, with mid- to high-floor residences providing a charming perspective of its ornate bell tower and cupola.

Nine Chapel, #PHB (Corcoran Group)
⬆️ Since launching early this year, sales have been robust, with nearly half of the 27 residences spoken for. Earlier this week, the sales team listed one of the two 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath penthouses.
Penthouse-B is a full-floor home that measures nearly 2,000 square feet and features open exposures and outdoor spaces in every direction.
⬆️ Residents and their guests enter the penthouse from a bright private landing into a welcoming foyer with an adjacent powder room and coat closet. Like most homes in the building, the unit
⬆️ The home is a paradigm of indoor-outdoor living and is conceived to provide the feeling of a private house instead of a high-rise apartment.
The open and airy layout is comfortably wrapped by oversized picture windows, exposed concrete accents, and outdoor access at every turn. Five-inch-wide white oak floors and ceiling heights over nine feet add to the airy feel.
⬆️ The abundance of private outdoor space is clear from the start. In all, the home boasts 794 square feet of private outdoor space with four spacious loggias and a garden terrace—all landscaped with plantings from Brooklyn Grange's nearby farm in the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
⬆️ Loggias, which are essentially covered terraces, have been a growing trend in the city in recent years since they provide sheltered outdoor space to residents, allowing for increased privacy and more year-round use than conventional balconies.

⬆️ 9 Chapel's loggias are framed by a perforated screen, which allows light to filter in but provides added privacy and weather protection.
⬆️ While the living room, dining room, and kitchen are blended into an open layout, the organic geometry of the spaces helps maintain their distinctions.
⬆️ The chef's kitchen features a state-of-the-art Bosch appliance package and a large curving island and faces a wall of glass overlooking a south-facing loggia and a view of the neighboring cathedral's steeple.
⬆️ Living spaces are cleanly separated from the private bedrooms, which are tucked away mid-block, away from Jay Street. Each of the bedrooms features direct access to one of the unit's four loggias.
⬆️ The primary bedroom anchors the northwest corner of the plan and has two large closets, an en-suite bath, a dressing room, and of course, direct access to a north-facing loggia and south-facing garden terrace
⬆️ The baths are equally bespoke, featuring green glass mosaic tile, custom vessel sinks, and elegant brushed nickel Watermark fixtures.
⬆️ Resident amenities include a double-height lobby, virtual doorman powered by ButterflyMX, a windowed fitness center with state-of-the-art equipment, a lounge for hosting small gatherings or working from home, a landscaped garden, and bike storage via a ramped entrance that allows residents to ride directly into the building.
⬆️ Nearly all of the building's one-bedrooms are spoken for, and there are only a handful of three-bedrooms up for grabs, including Penthouse #B. Penthouse #A is one floor up and similarly sized to Penthouse #B but has yet to hit the market.
144 Vanderbilt Avenue (SO-IL)
⬆️ SO-IL, the Brooklyn-based designers, were also behind the fast-selling 450 Warren Street and the soon-to-launch and very pink 144 Vanderbilt. Both of these buildings also feature out-of-the-box layouts, thoughtful common spaces, and a healthy infusion of private outdoor space.
⬆️ Two block south, across Tillary Street, is George Westinghouse, a vocational public high school whose alumni includes some of New York's most famous hip hop artists: Jay Z, The Notorious BIG, Busta Rhymes and DMX.
