Architect and developer Cary Tamarkin, founder of Tamarkin Co., has created, 508 West 24th St. Also collaborating on the project are Goldstein Hill + West Architects as the architect of record and Stribling Marketing Associates.
Adjacent to the High Line, the 10-story building is designed in the spirit of West Chelsea's industrial-era warehouses, which characterize the neighborhood and are home to some of New York's most famous galleries. 508 West 24th St. offers 15 two- and three-bedroom condominium residences, ranging in size from 2,000 to more than 3,300 s/f. The homes have 10 to 12-foot ceilings and continuous over-sized casement ribbon windows, which define the perimeter of each home. Over half of the residences have private outdoor space.
"I wanted to construct a building which sits comfortably amongst the beautiful warehouses of West Chelsea," said Tamarkin. "Our goal is always to create buildings which are painstakingly designed, yet unpretentious."
Accessed via key-locked private elevator, each residence of the project features an entry gallery foyer, open living/dining space, and solid four-inch-wide rift and quarter-sawn white oak floors. Each home contains Miele washers and dryers and energy-efficient, multi-zone heating and cooling systems.
The kitchens have walnut cabinetry and Calacatta Gold-marble countertops and backsplashes, custom designed by Tamarkin himself, with Bianco sinks and Vola polished chrome faucets. A Viking six-burner stove, microwave, Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, Sub-Zero wine refrigerator, and Miele dishwasher complete the kitchen design.
Each private bedroom suite features a master bath spa with Italian Calacatta Gold-marble floor, walls and countertops; custom-designed white oak medicine cabinet and double vanity; steam shower with rain showerhead and built-in marble bench; Zuma soaking tub; and Vola polished chrome fixtures. Secondary bedrooms, with en suite baths and private dressing rooms, include Portuguese Azul Lagos limestone floors, porcelain ceramic tile walls, custom lacquered vanity, Catalano ceramic sink, Vola polished chrome fixtures, and Zuma soaking tub.
Three penthouses offer views of the Manhattan skyline, including the Hudson River and Empire State Building. Each penthouse features a wood-burning fireplace, 11 or 12-foot ceilings, and three bedrooms with en suite baths. The wraparound private terraces surround all three penthouses in a mixture of sky, greenery and sculpted concrete.
"Cary Tamarkin and his team redefined the luxury experience once again," said Cathy Taub, executive vice president at Stribling, exclusive sales and marketing agent for 508 West 24th St. "He has created the most spectacular address in the most highly sought-after enclave of New York."
The gallery-like lobby, designed in a palette of cypress wood and natural cleft slate, will feature a doorman and a intercom and video security system. The building will house a fully equipped fitness facility, a full-time superintendent, a laundry room with commercial-grade machines, private storage rooms for each residence, bicycle storage, and a shared courtyard with gas grill.
In addition to overlooking the High Line and galleries, 508 West 24th St. is near several private schools, restaurants, shops, the Chelsea Market, Chelsea Piers and nearby Meatpacking District. Tags:
