Ginsburg Development Companies to complete 42-unit Christie Place

Luxurious condominium living is coming to the center of Scarsdale for the first time ever with the debut of Christie Place, an elegant Tudor-style building in the heart of town designed for residents 55 and better. Christie Place is just steps from quaint village shops, restaurants and the Metro-North train station right in historic Scarsdale, N.Y. "It is hard to imagine a better location in all of Westchester," said Martin Ginsburg, founder and CEO of Ginsburg Development Companies. "Christie Place is the first true luxury condominium ever built in the Village of Scarsdale. It offers a whole new choice for long-time Westchester empty nesters who no longer need their big homes with big headaches but don't want to 'trade-down.' Here, buyers are finding the location, design and quality they are looking for in an intimate-scale building that offers comfort and security and allows socialization at the same time. There is tremendous pent-up demand for this. It fills a real void in the marketplace and offers people an alternative to more urban high-rise living."   Christie Place, with only 42 deluxe residences, is staffed with a 24-hour concierge. A private landscaped plaza bridges the two buildings. One, two and three-bedroom condominium homes feature gracious finishes and features such as hardwood floors throughout, Viking kitchens, Waterworks faucets and marble master bathrooms. Many of the residences feature private terrace gardens that provide single-family home size outdoor living spaces. Some homes can be combined to create mansion-sized suites. Architect Bradford Perkins designed Christie Place to reflect the timeless character of downtown Scarsdale's Tudor architecture. Perkins, whose firm Perkins Eastman is one of the world's largest and most reputable. The retail component, which is 80% leased, includes a Bank of America at the corner of Christie Place and East Parkway, and a restaurant with outdoor dining facing Chase Park. The restaurant is being designed by Mario Fava and Luigi and Mauro Lusardi.
