NEW YORK, Sept. 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Toll Brothers
City Living®, the urban development division of Toll Brothers,
Inc., (NYSE:TOL), the nation's leading builder of luxury homes, is
launching sales for 55 West 17th Street – a
boutique-style, luxury condominium in the heart of Chelsea designed
by the renowned firm Morris Adjmi Architects. The sales gallery is
located at 15 West 18th Street on the eighth floor and
anticipated to open on September
28th.
Located on West 17th Street between Fifth and Sixth
Avenues, the 19-story building offers 53 residences ranging from
one- to four-bedrooms. Upper floor residences present beautiful
Manhattan views, and an expansive
duplex penthouse with a private terrace and outdoor swimming pool
graces the entirety of the building's top floors.
"55 West 17th Street is in a prime Chelsea location,
where residents can enjoy access to the vibrant neighborhood's many
dining, cultural and shopping destinations," said David Von Spreckelsen, the New York Division
President of Toll Brothers City Living. "We carefully considered
every aspect of the living spaces at 55 West 17th Street
to create comfortable homes with modern finishes, classical
detailing, and a great array of lifestyle services and
amenities."
In a modern interpretation of the cast-iron metalwork of the
Ladies Mile Historic District, the facade of 55 West 17th Street is
crafted of handmade Danish brick; the cornice, window frames, and
entrance details are fashioned of bronze architectural metal.
The lobby floor showcases a delicate, geometric floral
design, which is a scaled translation of the pattern surrounding
the grand staircase at Paris's
Opera house, Palais Garnier.
"We are thrilled to partner with Toll Brothers in building a
residence that is designed sensitively within the historic context
of this dynamic neighborhood," said architect Morris Adjmi. "55 West 17th Street pays homage
to the Beaux-Arts-inspired design of the area with its layering of
traditional materials such as lacquered walls and Venetian plaster
next to more modern materials such as concrete, metal and a variety
of textured surfaces throughout the building's common spaces."
The graciously appointed homes feature a variety of open floor
plans with wide plank white oak flooring throughout. Modern
kitchens offer custom oak cabinetry, Bianco
Oro marble countertops and backsplashes, wine refrigerators
and Gaggenau appliances. Each home is equipped with a Bosch
washer and dryer.
Luxurious master bathrooms are adorned with Bianco Dolomiti
marble walls and floors, and accented by a Bianco Carrara marble feature wall. White
Carrara marble vanity tops and backsplashes are paired with black
oak custom cabinets. Secondary bathrooms are furnished with
black oak cabinetry and Bianco Dolomiti vanity tops, Bianco Cielo marble floors, and Moroccan Zellige
tile walls. Powder rooms offer pillowed tile walls,
Montclair Danby marble vanity tops
and Virginia Mist granite floors. Dornbracht hardware is featured
throughout.
Amenities include full-time doorman and concierge service, a
fully-equipped fitness center, a children's playroom, a double
height lounge with a billiards table, a screening room, and bicycle
storage. Residents can enjoy the outdoors from a common landscaped
terrace on the building's second floor which features a gas grill
and comfortable seating areas. Storage units and parking are
available for purchase. The building also houses approximately
5,000 square feet of ground floor retail space on 17th street.
Located just blocks from Union Square, 55 West 17th Street is at
home in the arts-centric Chelsea neighborhood known for its
plentiful galleries. The building is close to many cultural
institutions, wonderful restaurants, shops and conveniences.
Groceries and markets abound nearby, including Chelsea Market, Eataly, and Whole Foods. Public
transportation is easily accessible with many subway lines and
