IT’S A HOTEL, NO WAIT…IT’S A CONDO

Developed by André Balazs, William Beaver House combines condo living with his design sensibilities for timeless glamour with hotel-type amenities. Parking here is, as expected, stylish. Cars pull up so close to the front doors it’s practically the lobby, and keys are handed off to the valet. Eying the glass-bottomed Jacuzzi from the second floor’s amenity center and the cool conversation pit as you walk through the lobby is merely the first show-stopping act of what lies ahead. From one- to three-bedrooms, Burmese teak floors and nine-and-a-half foot floor-to-ceiling windows are used throughout. High-styled kitchens and master baths with soaking tubs roomy enough for three are also part and parcel here. Standout features of the aforementioned amenity floor include an indoor lap pool and an outdoor Jacuzzi. The rooftop lounge sports a catering kitchen, outdoor grills, and a restaurant courtesy of Giorgio DeLuca. From $800,000. OCCUPANCY SPRING 2008

“Buyers like knowing they can pull up to the front door or drive into the building’s garage and hand the keys over without having to worry about driving around for a while in hopes of finding a spot, ” said Gotham Organization’s president David Picket. “That’s what full-service luxury living is all about.”
