385 West 12th St., the newest luxury residential building from Manhattan-based design and development team FLAnk, has topped off at seven stories. The boutique twelve-home condominium located between Washington and West Sts. in the West Village is slated for completion in early 2009.  Seven of the 12 residences are in contract; the remaining inventory is comprised of two penthouses and three triplex townhomes.
Once completed, the building's most distinguishing characteristic will be its untreated copper facade.  "The modulating copper panels will slowly acquire a patina over the next three decades while deliberately sized and detailed glasswork will remain constant.  The glass panels are carefully calibrated to provide controlled privacy to the domestic layouts behind," said Mick Walsdorf, principal and co-founder of FLAnk.  The facade system is being designed in conjunction with Front, the innovative design consultant, who is also collaborating with FLAnk on its mid-rise condominium tower at 441 East 57th St.

The available residences range in size from 3,649 s/f to 4,331 s/f, with combinations that can yield 8,400 s/f.  Ceiling heights vary from 10' to 18'.
FLAnk offers a unique lifestyle management service in each of its boutique condominium developments, meeting and working with client/buyers from the pre-development and design phase through relocation, and beyond.
