Rendering of 77 Charlton exterior and courtyard via Toll Brothers
Despite its name, New York, New York is never the same city twice. Neighborhoods change from industrial to residential, immigrant enclaves become hipster playgrounds, and neighborhood names even come and go. One ongoing example is the evolution of Hudson Square to West SoHo. Partly thanks to a push by its major landlord Trinity Real Estate and a Bloomberg-era rezoning, over the past 15 years the sleepy printing district has evolved into a creative office hub doused with a growing collection of hotel and condo. Next on tap for the lower west side area, whatever you want to call it, is 77 Charlton Street, a 161-unit condominium development brought to market by Toll Brothers City Living.

Late October, the luxury homebuilder quietly released listings in the two-wing project underway between Varick and Hudson streets. These first twelve availabilities have studio apartments priced from $1.01 million, one-bedrooms from $1.285 million, two-bedrooms from $2.08 million and three-bedrooms from $3.999 million. The listings blend into an average of $2,002 per square foot — fair prices given that the average closing price for new development condos stands at $2,302 a foot for Manhattan overall (per our October Monthly Market Report)
The building is being designed by S9 Architecture and preliminary renderings show a checkered facade that gets glassier with height. The two connected towers will stand a humble 15 floors tall, just high enough to give many upper-floor apartments views over the West Village onto the Midtown skyline. Between the two towers will be a private landscaped courtyard, not unlike Extell's similarly-configured condo across the way at 70 Charlton.

INC Architecture & Design is handling the interiors where renderings portray warm earthy finishes complemented by lots of greenery. The listings explain the project "embodies modern artisanal styling, blending natural materiality with craftsman-quality refinement." The spreads will be fitted with white oak flooring, 10'6"+ ceilings, and large windows. Kitchens are equipped with Thermador and Bosch appliances, quartzite countertops and custom oak cabinetry. Additionally, several high-floor apartments will have terraces.
Residents will be comforted with amenities that include a double-height swimming pool, spa with sauna, steam and treatment rooms, a fitness center, a screening room, a sky lounge with terrace, a children's playroom, and a pet spa.

Earlier this summer, we reported that foundation work is ongoing, and a recent visit shows the structure has just emerged above street level. Occupancy is slated sometime between winter 2020 and early 2021. For those who can't wait to get in on a Toll Brothers development, the homebuilder is wrapping up construction at 91 Leonard in Tribeca, which has two-, three- and four-bedrooms starting at $2.52 million. Nearby in the more-stable West Village, Toll has offloaded the last units at 100 Barrow where capacious two-bedrooms start at $3.32M. Lastly, over in Gramercy/Flatiron, sales are well underway on a 133-unit collection of avant-garde condos at 121 East 22nd Street. One-beds there start at $1.655M.
Other recent for-sale properties developed by Toll Brothers City Living: L to R: 91 Leonard, 100 Barrow, and 121E22
