2 Cooper shows off its fabulousness

At long last all the information that you'd ever want to know about 2 Cooper Square is now online. The luxury rental at East Fourth Street and Cooper Square comes complete with a rooftop pool and private cinema... and, based on the images on their site, the residents will be equally fabulous and hip and new Bowery-ish... like the dashing hepcat here in the long hair, sideburns, tie and collar undone after a rough day doing something fabulous, unwinding with a little take out while the GF/wife flips through a fashion magazine ... isn't life downtown so romantic?

And here's the model type resident with the perky boobs looking so intent on something while her friend in the background steals all her Paroxetine ...

Anyway, there are floor plans and shots of the rooftop pool and deck and ...

Studios start at $2,950... with the big units going for nearly $10,000. For the new kid of the block, 2 Cooper Square is looking pretty big. Can't wait for the dueling 2 Cooper-52E4 pool parties.

There goes the neighborhood for real: 2 Cooper Square will open with the highest rents ever in the East Village

Yowza. The Wall Street Journal checks in with a story about 2 Cooper Square ...

To the story:

Atlantic Development Group, which owns or manages 48 rental buildings in the city, plans to open next month 2 Cooper, at East Fourth Street near the Bowery. The 15-story, amenity-rich building is charging the highest rents ever in this rapidly gentrifying neighborhood, brokers say. Three-bedroom apartments run as high as $20,000 per month.

Atlantic's initial plans for 2 Cooper were much more modest. In 2004, the developer designed a building aimed at attracting New York University and Cooper Union students.

But Atlantic switched gears when it saw that the Bowery neighborhood was going upscale quickly. Two high-end hotels were built on the street, and a contemporary art museum opened its doors south of Houston. In recent months, Keith McNally and Daniel Boulud have launched restaurants on the Bowery.

Amenities added by 2 Cooper include a 15-seat private screening room and a 75-square foot walk-in refrigerator on the ground floor to hold tenants' food and flower deliveries.

"The neighborhood has become a destination but what's stopped people from moving there is a dearth of luxury properties," says Yuri Lobachevsky, a residential broker with Citi Habitats.

The building has signed leases for 21 of its 144 units, according to Atlantic. The majority have gone to people who already live downtown and were looking for an upgrade, says Richard Cantor, a principal at broker Cantor Pecorella.

From the Copper to the Cooper

Speaking of people moving into pricy new East Village developments ... NYC the Blog first reported that people are now living inside 2 Cooper Square.

Meanwhile! The 2 Cooper website has added new visuals.... some handsome black-and-white photos (in stop-motion!) depicting a scene on the Bowery that is really open to interpretation...

I think they just gave Sak's a free Fall Coat Preview ad. (And that guy looks nothing like Javier Bardem!) Whatever! You have to admit it's better than 2 Cooper's early visuals.

So, as the 2 Cooper site shows, there are 12 units available... ranging from $3,150 for a studio to a two-bedroomer for $14,500. Here's the two bedroomer...

There's also one unit with a eastward-facing terrace for $6,050... Luckily, the new residents will not be looking down at the B Bar at "some random drunken girl puking her guts out." No matter — you'll forget all this after time in the soft-tissue therapy room inside 2 Cooper.
