The Witkoff Group’s 150 Charles Street is about to emerge from the old exterior walls of the warehouse that used to occupy the site. Zoning warehouses for protection in the first place is generally a misguided approach, but the ‘integration’ of the old facade into the new structure is a complete joke, as it is barely visible.
That being said, renderings of 150 Charles – designed by CookFox – are promising, with the project set to cascade down towards the Hudson River. The building’s concrete is now at the third level, and it will eventually stand 15 stories tall. The development will likely command premiums similar to the Richard Meier buildings just to the north; the exemplary design and open layout of the project, which incorporates extensive greenery and a water feature, speaks to the ultra high-end market.
Per the latest permits, 150 Charles will have a total of 97 condominiums. Completion is expected in 2015, and the official website has additional information.
