Sales center tour: 50 West Street shows off its curves, views that won’t quit

Time Equities’ 50 West Street in Lower Manhattan is a glass and steel salute to the New York skyline.

The curved 780-foot-tall condo tower released its full website in June, with copious renderings and floorplans. We took the next step and visited the sales center for the 64-story, 191-unit development with a 734-foot-high observatory in the sky.

First, some background: Helmut Jahn designed the rounded steel tower, while Thomas Juul-Hansen crafted the warm, neutral-palette interiors. Residences range from one- to five-bedroom layouts. The units are spacious; there are no more than four condos per floor, and the largest one-bedroom measures 1,258 square feet. Every apartment features floor-to-ceiling windows, marble-floored master bathrooms with custom walnut cabinetry and kitchen appliances by Miele and Sub-Zero.

DBOX spearheaded all the technology at the sales gallery, located at 40 Rector Street. A curved projection wall showcases 180-degree images, originally taken by drones, of different elevations from the building. The projected images are controlled by a touch-screen computer that lets visitors take in the neighborhood, views and interior renderings with a swipe. When a particular unit is selected, the scale building model will light up that unit’s location in the tower.

The building’s tip will also light up at night.

But what if you want to witness the vista from your specific dream unit? One-inch scaled diorama models of the apartments display simulated views from 80-inch flat screens in the background. The glass curtain wall is included in these projections, for a neat cutaway effect.

.....Four floors of the building are devoted to amenities, not even including the Water Club, which boasts a 60-foot swimming pool, 8′ by 8′ hot tub, marble-wrapped steam room and cedar-lined sauna, with a lifeguard presiding over classes. The third floor has 15 commercial condos for really, really convenient work commutes, while the fourth-floor gym has floor-to-ceiling windows, a golf simulator and spa treatment rooms. The fifth-floor entertainment spread will have a theater with stadium seating, library, lounge, game room, demo kitchen with private outdoor space and a children’s playroom with outdoor space. The crowning amenity, quite literally, is a landscaped observatory 734 feet high, with binocular tower viewers, two barbecues, outdoor kitchen and private dining areas.

Time Equities has launched sales at its 64-story luxury residential tower at 50 West Street and Rector Street. Following a 30-day pre-sale period, 30 percent of the building’s 191 units have already sold.

The average selling price at 50 West so far has been $2,400 per square foot, according to a release from the developer. The most expensive units, which sold for $5,000 per foot, were half-floor penthouse homes, while one-bedrooms on lower floors have gone for as low as $1,400 per square foot. Prices per unit start at about $1.6 million.

The residences range from a 1,045-square-foot one-bedroom condominium to a 9,000-square-foot, five-bedroom duplex penthouse. Thomas Juul-Hansen is the interior designer for the building and was one of the buyers during the pre-sale period.

The exterior of the building, designed by architect Helmut Jahn, offers panoramic views of the New York Harbor, Hudson and East rivers. Amenities include a rooftop lounge, children’s play areas, fitness and pool facilities. The third floor includes 15 commercial condominiums, which can be purchased by residents and used as office space, BrickUnderground reported.

Roberta Axelrod and Javier Lattanzio are handling sales in-house for Time Equities. The developer announced in February that the Marketing Directors would consult on sales and marketing for the building.

The building is scheduled to be completed in 2016. Time Equities closed on $400 million in financing for 50 West last summer.

No surprises here; 50 West is a big hit

Times Equities has officially kicked off sales at the highly anticipated 50 West following a 30-day pre-launch when 57 of the 191 apartments were snapped up by buyers on a waiting list.

Francis Greenburger, chairman of TEI, said he’s thrilled, but not surprised by the response to the downtown skyline’s newest addition.

“It’s clear to us from our initial sales that buyers recognize the overall value proposition that 50 West represents — world-class views, design and amenities in the center of the New Downtown – at prices that are less than half of what one would pay to be in a Midtown luxury tower,” said Greenburger.

.....Each unit is outfitted with a private emergency generator. Master bathrooms will include radiant floor heating as well as Toto electronic toilets and the option for a built-in bidet. The floors and walls will be marble.
