Condo conversion of Windsor Park - 100 West 58th St @ Sixth Ave - by Gwathmey Siegel
December 12, 2004
BIG DEAL Inside the Box By WILLIAM NEUMAN  UP ON THE ROOF A rendering of the penthouse apartments at Windsor Park by Gwathmey Siegel. LOUISE SUNSHINE, the real estate marketing powerhouse who handles sales for many of the city's new luxury condominiums, has entered a new dimension. Square feet, that archaic measure of living space, is passe. Ms. Sunshine has begun to measure her best properties by the cubic foot. The cubic revelation came to Ms. Sunshine earlier this month, after she began marketing a new condominium conversion under way in the former Helmsley Windsor Hotel at 58th Street and the Avenue of the Americas, which has a unique penthouse apartment designed by the architect Charles Gwathmey, with 25-foot ceilings. The mundane fact of the apartment's 3,414-square-foot floor plan did nothing to convey all that headroom. But 62,500 cubic feet - now that's living space. The penthouse - Ms. Sunshine prefers to call it a rooftop home - has been repriced accordingly. Originally listed at $9 million, it is now listed at $16.25 million, or a mere $260 a cubic foot. "When you say something has x amount of cubic feet, it automatically implies it has a great deal of volume, and it implies the wall space necessary to hang your great contemporary art and it also implies views and views and views," said Ms. Sunshine, chairwoman of the Sunshine Group. The doyenne of the latest best thing in real estate, Ms. Sunshine is so taken with the idea that she plans to apply it to the other developments she is working on, like the new Richard Meier building under construction at 165 Charles Street, in the West Village, where the 4,365-square-foot penthouse is priced at $20 million. That computes to $4,581 a square foot. Ms. Sunshine, however, now prefers to think of the Charles Street penthouse as a 60,000-cubic-foot rooftop home priced at just $333 a cubic foot. All of which is separate from the singularity of Mr. Gwathmey's penthouse. While Mr. Gwathmey's modernist homes normally sit on landscaped plots in suburbs or by the beach in the Hamptons or Malibu, Calif., this one will look down on Midtown from the top of a 15-story building put up in 1926 by the architect Rosario Candela. Plans are to split the two-story addition into upper and lower penthouse units, each with four bedrooms, five-and-a-half bathrooms and two fireplaces. The top unit has the 25-foot vaulted ceilings. The lower unit, which has a large L-shaped terrace with a view of Central Park, has 12-foot ceilings in the living room, dining room and bedrooms, and seven-and-a-half- and nine-foot ceilings in the kitchen and bathrooms. It is priced at $13 million. Ms. Sunshine was not immediately able to provide a cubic footage for the unit, which is listed at 3,917 square feet in the offering plan. Mr. Gwathmey, whose firm is known as Gwathmey Siegel & Associates Architects, said designing the penthouses was "like building one of our houses on a roof." And while the units are made to function separately, in his architect's heart he harbors a quiet hope that they might find a buyer interested in joining them into a unified creation. "If somebody wished, they could, of course, buy both floors, make an 8,000-square-foot house," Mr. Gwathmey said. "It'd be pretty amazing, to have a duplex and have the whole roof, have no one living over you and the sense of no one under you, and have that kind of architectural enrichment and unique space at the top of the building." Mr. Gwathmey has also designed the other 101 apartments in the building, which is being called Windsor Park by Gwathmey Siegel. They include seven duplex units with double-height ceilings (think extra cubic footage) and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the corner of 58th Street and Avenue of the Americas. The duplexes cost from $3.3 million to $3.6 million. The condos went on sale the day before Thanksgiving. Ms. Sunshine said that contracts had been drawn up for 42 of them and that about half of those had been signed. Ms. Sunshine works for the developers Yitzchak Tessler and Meyer Chetrit, who bought the building from Leona Helmsley in November 2003, for $57 million. According to Mr. Tessler, who plans to move into one of the duplexes, they have budgeted $40 million for the building's conversion to condominiums. One of the design challenges presented by the project was that, while the building is only a block from Central Park, its views are partly obstructed by taller buildings to the north, including the Trump Parc, at 40 stories, directly across 58th Street, and the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, 35 stories, at the southeast corner of Avenue of the Americas and Central Park South. Views of the park are limited to the corridor along the Avenue of the Americas, and the architect's response was to emphasize those sightlines by giving the high-ceiling upper penthouse an outsized window in the northeast corner. The view and its limitations, however, are also a challenge to the building's marketing campaign. Ms. Sunshine has been a pioneer in the use of computer-generated simulations that show not-yet-completed apartments in exquisite detail, fully imagined with furnished rooms and art on the walls. And simulated apartments come with simulated views. The promotional material for the Windsor Park includes a lifelike image of the upper penthouse's living room, with an expansive view of Central Park and the Upper East Side through its oversized window. A corner of the Ritz-Carlton is tucked unobtrusively out a side window, as it might appear if the penthouse had been moved a block north, to Central Park South. But a trip to the building's roof, where workers are preparing the steel underpinnings for the Gwathmey penthouses, revealed a more limited perspective: a modest wedge of park, with the Ritz-Carlton prominent in the foreground. But for New Yorkers familiar with the Midtown skyline, the faux view in the computer images is disconcerting for another reason: the angles seem all wrong, prominent buildings seem out of place. A possible answer to that riddle can be found by visiting the Web sites of the Sunshine Group - sunshinegroup.com - and of another development she helped promote, the Time Warner Center - onecentralpark.com. Those Web sites use a strikingly similar swath of parkside skyline to suggest the views from the much taller Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle. Ms. Sunshine said that she was not aware of any discrepancy, but that interested buyers can judge for themselves. "Let them go up and see the view," she said. Mr. Tessler insisted the views in the computer image are accurate. "It's just a rendering," he said. "It's not a real shot." He added: "Nobody tried to deceive anybody." Mr Gwathmey said his firm provided floor plans and other materials to a graphics consultant who worked with Ms. Sunshine to produce the image. "I think the renderist took a liberty on the diagonal," he said about the way the Ritz-Carlton appears to shrink out of the picture. In the end, the expanded internal horizon of the penthouse, made manifest in cubic feet, may be all that is needed. Ms. Sunshine plays a central role in shaping the developments she markets, and her genius has always been for seeing things, not so much as they are, but as they will be. Ms. Sunshine said the Gwathmey penthouses are the start of a new trend. "I believe on the top of every great roof," she said, "now there's going to be a great home."

This is visionary genius?An addition on top of the roof!What a revelation!Cubic feet is much more than square feet!That could really justify the ridiculous price.This is even smarter than calling Random House "70 stories"(It's 52 FLOORS count them)But I guess it's just good marketing and not bending the truth.

Both are brown-brick structures with limestone bases and nice cornices. The buildings are separated by the Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde Club building, one of the city’s most fanciful with a façade populated by skeletons and a roof with a crashed World War I fighter plane. In late 2004, numerous older hotel properties began to be converted to luxury condominium apartments to take advantage of a very, very strong market for such units. This building’s conversion to condos was highlighted by the addition of two penthouse apartments with vaulted ceilings designed by Gwathmey Siegel & Associates and the creation of double-height apartments at the corner at the Avenue of the Americas. Other nearby hotels that also went conversion to condominiums at about the same time included the former Intercontinental Hotels at 110 Central Park South and on Lexington Avenue at 48th Street. In addition, several very prominent hotels such as the Plaza and St. Regis and Fifth Avenue and the Ritz-Carlton Hotel at 50 Central Park West decided to convert part of their hotel space to residential condominium apartments. Another major property, the Mayflower Hotel at 15 Central Park West, was demolished in 2005 to make way for a new luxury condominium project. Another major hotel, the Stanhope on Fifth Avenue at 81st Street, was closed for conversion to co-operative apartments. This 14-story building had 242 hotel rooms and will contain about 100 condominium apartments consisting of studio, one- and two-bedroom units in addition several duplex units and the two penthouse apartments. Initial prices ranged from about $744,000 for a 607-square-foot studio apartment on the 10th floor to $3,557,00 for a three-bedroom unit with three-and-a-half baths and 19-foot ceilings on the sixth floor. One of the penthouses has 3,917 square feet of interior space and 4,028 square feet of exterior space with a wrap-around terrace, four bedrooms, five baths and two fireplaces. The other has 3,414 square feet of interior space and 231 square feet of exterior space with four bedrooms and five baths and a living room with a 25-foot-high, vaulted ceiling with skylights. Gwathmey Siegel is the architectural firm that designed the sinuously curved apartment tower at 26 Cooper Square as well as many academic and institutional buildings and residences. It was one of the “New York Five” or “Whites” architectural firms that emerged in the 1960s and were known for their Modernistic white buildings. Yitzchak Tessler and Meyer Chetrit are the developers. Joseph Chetrit was one of the principal buyers of the Sears Tower in Chicago in 2004. The Chetrit Group at the same time also undertook the conversion of the former Empire Hotel at 44 West 63rd Street to residential condominium apartments. Some of the apartments in this project along the avenue will have partial views of Central Park, which is one block to the north. This location has excellent public transportation and is convenient to many of the country’s finest stores, and numerous restaurants. It is very close to Carnegie Hall, which is around the corner on 57th Street at Seventh Avenue and is not far from numerous supermarkets include Whole Foods in the large basement of the Time-Warner Center at Columbus Circle, two blocks to the west.   10-30-05 http://maps.google.com/maps?oi=map&q...,+Brooklyn,+NY Map http://citi-habitats.com/press/viewa...article_id=527 Publication: New York Magazine Date: 4/18/2005 Article: "A Million-Dollar Room.

Environmental Services Division is pleased to submit this proposal to conduct mold remediation services at the above referenced location. IRS performed an assessment for the purposes of providing a cost estimate. The following is a summary of our observations/notes based on our site visit on June 2, 2008." Observations/Notes: " It was relayed to IRS that mold growth had occurred at the above referenced residence." "An inspection of the residence found there to be visible mold and signs of repetitive water intrusion incidents throughout the unit. " " Water damaged sheetrock ceilings, walls, and floors, were observed in each room of the unit, to include both bathrooms and the laundry closet. Visible mold was found in each of the aforementioned locations both on building materials and on contents. This conclusion is confirmed by interior testing and sampling performed by RTP Environmental Associates, Inc. report dated 2/21/08. This unit is of a two-bed room, two bathroom, center living room, with walk in kitchen, design space. " " The nature of the original request for inspection was based on a pipe failure said to have occurred in Unit 4-C. While this was a serious water intrusion incident, further inspection of the unit found signs of regular long term water penetration issues from above, which of course impacts both perimeter and partition walls throughout the unit. This conclusion is confirmed by the engineering reports as supplied by Heimer Engineering, P.C. dated 11/17/06 and 1/16/08 respectively. " " Unit 2-C is impacted from water damage and mold contamination to the extent that 90% of the interior construction materials and all of the contents have been affected." Proposal For Mold Remediation Services th Schottenstein Residence, 100 West 58 Street, Unit 2-C, NY, NY 10022 June 3, 2008 " Site Specific Scope of Work: Unit 2-C � " IRS will establish a negative air work area containment system that will include plastic barriers and air filtration devices to control/capture airborne mold spores and dust during the mold remediation/decontamination and cleaning process. " � " During the course of the work an approved Fungicide, Deodorizer, and Mildewstat will be utilized on all surfaces prior to, during, and upon completion of mold contaminated building material remediation and removal and contents decontamination as required." � "Remove, package, and dispose of sheetrock ceilings, in all locations. This would include any fiberglass batt insulation encountered during the course of this work. Clean and sanitize ceiling joists and subfloor, as seen from 2-C looking upward." � "Remove, package, and dispose of sheet rock walls from the entire perimeter, and one side of each partition wall, all locations. This would include any fiberglass batt insulation encountered during the course of this work. Clean and sanitize wall studs, sills, and base plates. " � " Remove, package, and dispose of wooden flooring, all locations. Clean and sanitize exposed sub-floor." � " Decontaminate contents identified by the owner as “to save”. Remove, package, and dispose of remainder of contents to include items contaminated by mold spores but impossible to properly decontaminate, such as major appliances." � "Upon completion of the aforementioned tasks all exposed interior construction material surfaces, with the exception of the sub-floor will be coated with a liquid anti-fungal compound coating. " * Remediation work will be limited to the above items/areas only. The client/owner will assume responsibility for deciding on saving valuable items, or discarding said items. " * This scope of work does not include costs for reconstruction. * This proposal address the provision of labor as provided during a normal work shift. Nights, weekends and holidays shall be billed with a multiplier of x 1.5 * In the unlikely event the services of an electrician or plumber are required to facilitate the completion of this project it will be billed at cost plus 20% overhead. Proposal For Mold Remediation Services th Schottenstein Residence, 100 West 58 Street, Unit 2-C, NY, NY 10022 June 3, 2008 " Moldy house costs builder $3 million Sunday, May 11, 2008 10:39 PM By JIM WOODS THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH "In Reynoldsburg, it's known as the $3 million house." "But it has nothing to do with the home's value or amenities." "In fact, the house has been empty for more than two years. A blue tarp covers a hole where the builders tore off part of the stucco exterior but never repaired it. Inside, mold thrives." ....... "What they got was a house riddled with deficiencies and mold that sickened Mrs. Cosner and the Cosners' son, Roman Jr., forcing them to leave. '.... "In February, a Franklin County Common Pleas Court jury agreed that Maronda Homes had turned the American dream into the Cosners' nightmare." "The judge awarded the Cosners $2.2 million in compensatory damages — triple the original jury award — because jurors found that Maronda Homes had violated Ohio's Consumer Sales Practices Act by acting in an “unfair, deceptive or unconscionable” manner. Jurors tacked on an additional $1million in punitive damages." "Maronda Homes, in a prepared statement, calls the verdict “a complete miscarriage of justice.” The Cosners prevented Maronda from making repairs, the statement says. During the trial, the company says, it was denied the right to have a critical witness testify and the judge tripled the award, which is inconsistent with the jury's findings." “Maronda is disappointed with the outcome of this case and it is continuing to explore all of its legal options,” the statement said. ".... "On Friday, visiting Judge Dale A. Crawford ordered that Maronda pay almost $700,000 more in attorney fees if the judgment stands." "Roman Cosner said the family didn't want to go to court." “This is not what we asked for,” he said. “We just wanted the house fixed.” .... "J.D. Power & Associates, in a report released in September 2007, found that Maronda rated third out of nine major developers in central Ohio for new-home quality. Maronda ranked ninth for customer service and design. The Ohio attorney general's office has fielded 12 complaints about Maronda since January 2007. During the same period, larger developers such as Dominion Homes had 12 complaints and M/I Homes 13." "The Reynoldsburg Building Department signed off on the Cosners' home when it was finished in 2004, according to Chet Hopper, department chief." "But the south side of the house was not attached to the foundation and was inadequately attached on three sides. The wrong windows were used, which caused leaks, and the exterior waterproofing and drainage around the house were done improperly, court records show. " "As a result, water seeped in and mold grew on the basement walls, in the heating and air-conditioning system and on the floors. Testing showed extremely high levels of a toxic mold in the basement, said attorney Daniel Mordarski." "The first sign of trouble came soon after a rainstorm when the Cosners noticed water cascading down the inside of their garage wall. Then there were puddles on the basement floor." "As the problems piled up, Maronda Homes refused to fix the problems and treated the Cosners with “hatred and ill will,” the family contends. " "The Cosners at one point put a sign in their yard that said: “Moldy Maronda Home.”...... "A Maronda official told Mrs. Cosner that she had toxic mold in her house, instructed them to move out and said the company would pay their expenses. That's when the crew tore off the stucco on the house's south side." .... "In fact, Mrs. Cosner testified that during a meeting in her basement a company official asked how the problems could be fixed. A worker nodded toward her and said: “We just need to get rid of that problem.” .... "Mrs. Cosner was hoarse, and Roman Jr., who is now 8, was missing school because he was ill. When they moved out of the house and into a motel, they recovered." “I know a lot more now. When I bought the new house, I relied on them.”
