Jasper is one of those unique condo developments that offers something for every member of the family. The kids have their own space in the Children’s Play area, while parents will enjoy the fitness area—complete with high-end equipment—and a pool with a fireside lounge. But it’s not the amenities that will attract residents to this Murray Hill development. This eighteen-story conversion of a 1920’s office building is in the middle of it all, convenient to both midtown Manhattan and Park Avenue.

Jasper Condominiums is located at 114 East 32nd in Murray Hill. This is a unique Manhattan neighborhood, placed right in the middle of the urban sprawl that is New York, yet more in tune with small-town suburbia, with its small neighborhood grocer and quiet streets. Residents who enjoy eating out will like the local eateries, especially if they prefer Tex-Mex (El Rio Grande) or Italian (Nicola Paone). Of course, Grand Central Terminal is within walking distance, which opens up all of New York for those brave enough to venture out.

Sales just began at Jasper Loft Condominiums, but the eighty units are expected to go fast. Ismael Leyva, whose many prior projects includes the Time Warner Building, designed Jasper to emanate warmth both inside and out. The orange scaffolding that defined the construction space before the conversion was finished has been moved, but the theme continues inside the building. The end result is a warm yet stylish interior décor, including Peruvian hardwood floors and high-end brand name additions like Kohler tubs in the baths and Sub-Zero refrigerators in the kitchens. If that doesn’t warm the spirit, the high ceilings and spacious outdoor terraces will.

Jasper is being marketed by CORE Group, who is also responsible for marketing some of Manhattan’s most high-profile condominium developments, including 40 Bond Street and 50 Gramercy Park North. Jasper offers studio, one, two, and three bedroom units ranging in size from 591-2079 square feet in area. Studios start at $900,000, with the spacious penthouse priced at $3.5 million. The average price per square foot is $1,150, which is relatively cheap for any area of Manhattan. Occupancy is slated for Fall 2008.
