Carter's Review
The Sorting House is a 30-unit residential condominium development that was scheduled for completion in 2017 at 318 West 52nd Street that incorporates the three-story U. S. Postal Service Radio City Station facility at the location.
The developers, the Cadence Property Group, converted the red-brick building’s top floor and added two floors for the apartments. The post office remains in the bottom two floors.
The project’s name references one of the major functions of a post office.
The Architecture Outfit, which is headed by Thaddeus Briner, is the architect for the project.
Bottom Line
A modest but handsome redevelopment in which most residential units have terraces or roof patios in a surprisingly charming section of East Midtown.
Description
The building was originally erected in 1926.
The residential entrance is to the east of the post office entrance and has a handsome, protruding entrance surround
Amenities
The building has a 2,600-square-foot, landscaped roof deck with an outdoor kitchen with grill and sink, a fitness room, a part-time doorman and virtual concierge, bicycle and private storage and Paddle8, an online auction house that provides art advisory service for the building’s residents.
