8 Union Square South
September 23rd, 2007
With only two apartments per floor, 8 Union Square South is a home for those who love the convenience of large-city life but prefer a small-community existence. Across from Union Square Park, this development is in the middle of everything, including restaurants, nightclubs and art boutiques, and yet it remains separated from the hustle and bustle. For old world–or just old fashioned–residents, Union Square offers an open-air market, where local farmers and growers can sell their wares. And starting after Thanksgiving, the Holiday market is the perfect place to pick up those Christmas “necessities” like candles and lights.
It is easy to look past 8 USS’s bland appearance in favor of the neighborhood offerings, but this glass and concrete building has a lot of internal beauty. All conds have the advantage of being corner units, and as such, utilize natural light to evoke comfort. High ceilings expand the mind, while oversized windows offer views of Union Square and a backdrop of the city. The master bath is large, with floors and walls of textured limestone and a towel radiator to warm those chilly nights. Kitchens include Sub-zero appliances and a wall oven.
Living at 8 Union Square South has its benefits. Eric Cohler’s interior designs are customizable, so residents can request more closet space or special storage and wine facilities. Just as important, each resident is automatically awarded a membership to Quintessentially, the worldwide concierge service. This service extends from helping residents find those hard-to-book restaurant seats to making travel arrangements to shopping on those days that are just too full to run errands. An on-site gym adds to a resident’s sense of exclusive pleasure–and serves to remind them that there are no excuses for not staying in shape. Residents can choose 1, 2, or 3 bedroom apartments, starting at $1.1 million for 866 square feet. Penthouses top out at 3,100 square feet, and include private outdoor space and an exclusive elevator entrance. These units list at a cool $8.9 million, and are being marketed by Shvo Marketing and Sales as the ideal example of combined culture and luxury.
