Carter's Review

This handsome residential complex at 70 Charlton Street in Soho was scheduled for completion in 2016 with about 92 condominium apartments in a building on Charlton Street and about 23 affordable units in a similar but narrower building on Van Dam Street.  The mid-block buildings are connected by a garden and a glass-enclosed breezeway with curved inner wall and both buildings are 21 stories tall.

Extell Development and Angelo, Gordon & Co., are erecting the complex and Beyer Blinder Belle is the architect.  Workshop/APD did the interior design.

Extell erected One57 and numerous residential towers on Riverside South and is also building the supertall at 211 West 57^th Street and redevelopment Carlton House on Madison Avenue.

Bottom Line

An elegant, 22-story-high residential complex with two industrial-style buildings with a handsome curved lobby and breezeway next to a courtyard with boxwood and birch trees and a water element

Both buildings have one major central setback above the 12^th floor.

The building has a major metal entrance marquee adjacent to the building’s ground-floor retail spaces also have a long metal marquee.
