59th Street Enclave Makeover
[WiredNewYork] 6/01/2005
Some of the neighborhood's most glamorous projects are shaping up around West End Avenue and W. 59th Street, an industrial enclave that's about to get a makeover.On that corner, work is starting on a 31-story condo tower. Directly east, a 35-story glass tower is planned on an acre of land, with indoor and outdoor swimming pools and basketball and tennis courts. Moshe Dan Azogui's Brack Capital is developing this site with Continental Equities - whose co-founder Jane Gol is a city planning commissioner.
North of these locations, two projects are gearing up between W. 60th and W. 61st streets, just east of West End Avenue.At 245 W. 60th St., Larry Ginzberg is planning a complex with 380,000 square feet of apartments. The proposed design has a 29-story tower and shorter companion buildings. East of that, behind a blue construction fence, developer Stan Listokin is starting an 18-story apartment tower with a twist. The base of the building will serve as a new campus for Lander College for Women, which is part of Touro College. Further north, West End Avenue is a solid double row of apartment houses - or almost solid. On one of the only spots with a single-story retail building - the corner of W. 70th Street - a 26-story residential tower is planned.The developer is American Continental Properties.
