385 West 12th Street
March 27th, 2008
Flank’s new seven-story development, located at 385 West 12th Street, may be small, but it’s not at all lacking in amenities. The twelve-home community will have six full-floor units, two duplex penthouses and four town homes. Three and four bedroom units will range in size from just over 2,500 square feet to over 4,000 square feet. Residents will love the common condominium offerings: the custom-designed kitchen cabinetry, the brand name appliances and fixtures, and the 24-hour attendant in the lobby. But the added amenities reflect those of a much larger development. One of those amenities is a two-tier “recreation” area on the roof. This area can serve as a place to congregate on the weekends, and unlike other nearby recreational choices, familiar faces will become the norm after a few visits. The area is 2,700 square feet, and offers a 50-foot lap pool as the focal point. An outdoor shower and oversized hot tub round out the water activities. Below, residents can gather around the gas grills for an old-fashioned barbecue, or they may take their food to the convenient dining area. After the meal is over, the exercise deck beckons.
Being pampered will become second nature to people here at 385 West 12th, as the development introduces a number of lifestyle assistants for the overscheduled resident. They will be able to pick up packages in personal storage lockers. Dry cleaning will be delivered, and a full-time housekeeper will be poised to help keep their homes looking spotless. Finally, Flank has made arrangements with lifestyle manager Jennifer Bell to offer residents an alternative to luxury-style concierge services. Bell’s approach is much more personalized, whether dealing with dinner reservations or art curating.
While community amenities are always attractive, it is the home which must tell the final tale. And these homes have a good story to tell. Expansive ceilings of up to eighteen feet will encourage lofty dreams. A Viking dual oven in the kitchen will spark the creative juices with its grill and six gas burners. In the master bath, radiant flooring will ensure that no dream ever suffers cold feet.
In addition to all of the comfort factors offered here, the developers of 385 West 12th Street have also designed a technologically advanced home. When finished, residents will use a remote to control a lot of the processes in their homes, including climate, window shades, lighting and home audio/video. It will be customizable to fit the preferences of the residents. 385 West 12th Street is expected to be completed in early 2009. Prices start at $5.795 million and reach up to $13.5 million.
