R&B Development Grp. and T&R Const. open WINDOWS ON 123

WINDOWS ON 123, Harlem's newest condominium project - introduces a whole new concept in contemporary New York City living. The developers of WINDOWS ON 123 have opened two very different and exciting residential buildings just steps apart on the same quiet, tree-lined street. The larger condominium, 117 West 123rd St. features 26 apartments with a nearly 3,000 s/f sky deck, private underground garage and fully equipped fitness center. The smaller building, 129 West 123rd St. offers 8 entire floor loft apartments. "We have created two completely different buildings that give buyers options, that also share the same high design and the very best in top-tier amenities found only in the absolute finest apartments in Manhattan," said Refik Radoncic, of R&B Development Group, and T&R Construction, which also acts as the construction company on the unique project. "This allows us to be more adaptable and pass significant savings onto the buyer." Together with 3CD-Architecture, the team has created a double dream offering for buyers, a perfect blend of light and space for busy urban dwellers who want it all: modern spacious lobbies with funky light installations, hallways and terraces covered in Pietra Sierra limestone and apartments with 9 ft. high ceilings and 8 ft. doors with polished chrome hardware by Omnia. At WINDOWS ON 123, developers have deliberately invested a lot in creating a green, eco-friendly building, with natural materials, thermal windows and an advanced multi-zone environmental central heating and cooling system that translates to substantial energy savings for owners. Buyers at both buildings will also have the opportunity to purchase a climate controlled parking space at the WINDOWS ON 123 underground garage and both buildings will be serviced by Virtual Doorman service.
