At just nine stories tall, Vetro Condominiums isn’t the luxury sky-scraper that tourists expect to see in a large city like New York. But it packs a lot of personality into its compact glass facade. Located at 107 East 31st Street, in the Kips Bay neighborhood, the fifteen-unit Vetro puts its residents in the middle of all that is great about Manhattan. Just down the road, the Empire State Building rises into the clouds; and countless steakhouses and eateries line the road, inviting passersby. Also in this neighborhood are the New York Public Library and Madison Square Park.

While the building is not scheduled for completion until January or February 2008, the development is already advertising its many amenities to attract occupants. A rooftop recreation center will complement the nearby Equinox Gym, giving residents a chance to get some fresh air while they improve their health and invite companionship. Other amenities include a full-size washer and dryer in each unit. The building is pre-wired for telephone, cable and Internet.

Inside the units, a large, gourmet kitchen with Caesar stone quartz countertops gives the budding chef of the family plenty of room to move around, while the large living room offers room to breath after that big gourmet dinner. For more breathing room, a Juliette balcony or terrace is just a sliding glass door away. White oak hardwood flooring adds to the traditional elegance of these units, while stainless steel appliances in the kitchen sprinkle in a taste of the modern; this contrast continues through the master bath, which combines popular brand-name toiletries with a marble and groove clay tile popularized in ancient times.

Vetro Condominiums has one and two-bedroom units ranging in size from just 519 square feet for a one bedroom, to 2,022 square feet for the ground duplex apartment. Two penthouses occupy the top floors of the building, and balconies varying from the simple 18 square-foot traditional balcony to a 227 square foot terrace are included in each unit. Prices are reasonable, ranging from $495,000 for a small one bedroom, to a high price of $1.85 million for one of the two-bedroom units. Vetro Condominiums utilizes a building-wide Unitone Intercom Security System to ensure the safety of its residents.
