Orchard In New York

A boutique condo project has opened for sales, and in preparation for occupancy in April. The building was designed by New York-based G Ateliers Architecture. The building's new unique glass and steel façade contrasts with the area's brick structures from earlier eras.

The units have open kitchens with cabinets of solid wood with black and white lacquered veneers and the counter tops are black granite accented with back-painted glass and white textured tile back splashes. The kitchens are outfitted with high-end appliances including a Liebherr refrigerator, Dacor cooktop and oven, and Asko dishwasher.

Each full-floor residence has floor-to-ceiling windows. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom homes each feature a gas fireplace, operable glass "Nanawalls," solid 5-inch oak ebonized flooring, frameless glassed Juliette balconies and private balconies or terraces. Floorplans show residences which have a front public living room/kitchen area with a curved hallway leading down to a pair of bedrooms. The penthouse duplex has multiple landscaped terraces and balconies.

The master bathrooms have porcelain fixtures with glass and polished chrome accents, custom designed cabinetry and a large glassed shower. Other features include washer/dryer hookups; video intercom; trash shoot and storage available for additional purchase. Prices at 60 Orchard range from $1,195,000 to $2 million and the development is awaiting 421a tax abatement approval.
