Carter's Review
This 34-story rental apartment building was developed by Pitcairn Properties and designed by H. Thomas O'Hara.
It has 168 apartments and is known as The Magellan. It is located at 35 West 33rd Street in the lee of the Empire State Building and close to the city's "Koreatown."
The building has a 24-hour concierge, a fitness center, a roof deck, and a residents' lounge.
Kitchens have granite countertops, porcelain tile flooring, shaker-style cabinetry and Kohler fixtures.
The building is close to Herald Square, Penn Station, Madison Square Garden and public transportation.
In an October 17, 2008 article in The New York Times, Deborah Baldwin observed that "few would describe the area's odd mix of Korean lounges, Irish bars, sooty office buildings, vintage architecture and discount clothing stores as closely knit." "But," she continued, "for some newcomers, prying out its secrets is part of the allure....With Chelsea and Gramercy Park hemming it in, Koreatown has come up in the world, acquiring an affiliation with SoFi (South Fifth Avenue) and NoMad (north of Madison Square)....The rakish Main Street - West 32nd Street between Fifth and Broadway - has so many kimchi and karaoke joints, Internet cafes, and all-night spas that they have started stacking up, Seoul-style.
