Landsea Homes and Leyton Properties, the developers behind the ODA-designed 212 West 93rd Street, have just unveiled the boutique building’s show-stopping contemporary facade, and we now have photography showcasing this new architectural landmark on the Upper West Side.

ODA, the award-winning architecture firm known for its mold-breaking, human-centric design, conceived the 14-story condominium building as a vertical collection of 20 individual homes. But what makes 212 West 93rd Street unique is that ODA’s founder, Eran Chen, designed the building from the inside out, creating a layered effect with stepped terraces and oversized beveled windows to maximize light and air and seamlessly integrate indoor and outdoor living spaces. As a result, a staggering 70 percent of the building’s residences offer outdoor space, with some terraces being larger than the average Manhattan studio apartment.

Once complete, 212 West 93rd Street will also include a new, ultra-modern home for the Shaare Zedek synagogue, which has been part of the community for over 100 years. The synagogue will be accessed through a separate entrance at the base of the building.

Located on the tree-lined block between Broadway and Amsterdam, 212 West 93rd Street is surrounded by the best of the culturally-rich Upper West Side. Just two blocks away from Central Park and Riverside Park, residents will have access to more green space than anywhere else in Manhattan, and the esteemed Museum of Natural History is a short walk away.

The Lindsey Stokes Team at Compass Development Marketing Group is the exclusive sales and marketing agent for the project. Construction is well underway with completion anticipated in 2021.

The Lower East Side Gets Its First Spring 2021 Condominium Launch at New Empire Corp.’s 208 Delancey

 New Empire Corp. (New Empire), announces that sales have officially commenced at 208 Delancey, a 12-story, 85-unit new luxury condominium located at the corner of Pitt Street on the Lower East Side (LES) making it the first Spring 2021 condo launch for the neighborhood.

“Our goal for 208 Delancey was to create an elevated extension of the Lower East Side, offering residents a calming oasis to come home to,” said Bentley Zhao, Chairman and CEO of New Empire. “With an added emphasis on green spaces complemented by a robust amenity package and striking design, we are confident these new homes juxtapose the surrounding area quite nicely.”

Designed by award-winning architectural and interior design firm, ODA New York, the 67,300-square-foot Bauhaus-inspired building embraces a curved brass and copper façade, artfully reflecting natural light and creating a sophisticated urban sanctuary.

“This dynamic neighborhood demanded a dynamic building, one with movement, flow, and energy. Drawing inspiration from the Bauhaus, we incorporated curved glass and an undulating facade that continues inside. We wanted to imbue as much light, air, and vibrancy as possible into the building and its interiors,” said Eran Chen, Founder and Executive Director of ODA. “We tried to tie it into the urban fabric and the history of the Lower East Side, but the architecture stands on its own as a new landmark in the neighborhood.”

Residences, starting at $630,000, range in size from 388-square-foot studios to 1,289-square-foot three-bedroom penthouses boasting open floor plans with a smart keyless door entry, European oak plank flooring and oversized windows. Gourmet kitchens feature marble countertops, backsplashes and island waterfalls, as well as a suite of Miele appliances, including in-residence washer and dryers and a refrigerator with integrated cabinetry. Sleek bathrooms boast Duravit soaking tubs, marble clad walk-in showers, radiant heated marble floors, LED lighting features and more. Select residences offer private outdoor terraces, curved corner windows and wine coolers.

“We played with the geometry of the interiors and incorporated sculpted, organic materials,” said Ryoko Okada, Director of Interiors at ODA. “Because 208 Delancey is situated in a historic, vibrant neighborhood, we paid tribute to the many types of people that have lived in the community, capturing a lively sense of movement at different scales.”

“Buyers in today’s market increasingly demand all-inclusive amenity perks and private, outdoor space – a rarity in Manhattan,” said David Chang, Sales Director at Compass Development Marketing Group, the firm handling the sales and marketing exclusively. “Those seeking prime real estate in Manhattan with comfortable floor plans and expansive green space will be attracted to 208 Delancey’s wraparound balconies, lushly landscaped rooftop and meditation area, which residents can enjoy year-round.”

Take A Look At The Sanctuary Inside ODA Interior’s Brooklyn Grove

Step inside Brooklyn Grove, the 27-story, 184-unit building offers studio to three-bedroom residences, creating a true sense of home with layers of organic materials and lush textures. Tucked into the crossroads of Fort Greene, Boerum Hill, and Brooklyn Heights, ODA’s head of interior design, Ryoko Okada, created a refuge from the busy city streets. The transition begins in the lobby, with its organic pallet of slatted wood details, textured hand-plastered walls, and greenery bring the outdoors in, a common design theme amongst ODA’s projects. The lobby connects to the alleyway behind the building, Grove Place, creating a visual thruway and passageway over the sunken residents’ lounge.

Extending the warm slatted wood details into the double-height residents' lounge, ODA created a space for gathering and relaxation. The lounge's skylight allows for natural sunshine, while the swirling marbled wall and fireplace add warmth and texture to the space.

The full range of amenities designed by ODA includes a 40’ heated indoor pool with a skylight, a fitness center with a gym and yoga studio, and a kids’ room with games, toys, and computer stations perfect for at-home learning. Residents can also enjoy the conference room and furnished roof deck with grills.

The Brooklyn Grove makes a statement on bustling Nevins Street. Its facade features glazed brick and distinctive double-high windows framed by custom metal surrounds that draw the eye upwards. The design creates a sense of depth and drama that lives comfortably amongst the neighboring brownstones.
