A new residential development in New York is set to be unveiled to potential buyers from Singapore on the weekend of Jan 11 and 12. The development, named 720 West End Avenue, is located in the prestigious Upper West Side of Manhattan and offers a total of 131 residences. These include a variety of one- to five-bedroom apartments, townhouses, duplexes, and penthouses with private terraces. The units range in size from around 500 sq ft to a spacious 3,700 sq ft and prices start at US$1.015 million ($1.38 million) for a one-bedroom residence.
Designed by renowned New York architect Emery Roth in 1927, 720 West End Avenue is a beautiful redevelopment of a pre-war building. Previously known as the Hotel Marcy, the 17-storey building boasts a stunning Renaissance Revival-style façade. The developers, Glacier Equities and InterVest Capital Partners, have taken special care to preserve the intricate architectural details of the building’s exterior while adding two floors to house the luxurious penthouse duplexes. The interior of the building has also been revamped by renowned designer Thomas Juul-Hansen.
The development offers over 30,000 sq ft of amenities for its residents to enjoy. These include a state-of-the-art fitness centre, a private bar and dining room, a library, co-working spaces, outdoor terraces and courtyards, private parking, and bike storage. To showcase this luxurious development to potential buyers from Singapore, Savills Singapore will be hosting a presentation on Jan 11 and 12 at the voco Orchard Hotel. The event will also feature a seminar on the New York real estate market at 3pm on both days.
