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. Â 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. Â "The modulating copper panels will slowly acquire a patina over the next three decades while deliberately sized and detailed glasswork will remain constant. Â The glass panels are carefully calibrated to provide controlled privacy to the domestic layouts behind," said Mick Walsdorf, principal and co-founder of FLAnk. Â 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. Â 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. Â
