Cantilevering condoplex finally reaches the top at 75 1st Ave.



The 8-floor (plus that bulkhead) cantilevering condoplex has topped out at 75 First Ave. between Fourth Street and Fifth Street ... workers planted the flag atop the structure late last week...



This has been a long time coming. The ground breaking took place in September 2016. The build included nearly 14 months of inactivity.

And some blurbage via the 75 First Ave. website, which lists that 10 of the units are in contract:

The building lobby boasts a fumed glass door entrance, lava stone floors and walls, and a contrasting yellow travertine stone desk. Black stucco adorns the elevator walls, while the private residents lounge features a yellow travertine stone fireplace, white stucco walls with brass reveals, a pool table, and several areas of seating. Additional amenities include a full-time doorman, a landscaped rooftop, a fitness center, and bicycle storage.

Available units include 1 and 3-bedroom homes with several 1-bedrooms featuring sizeable home offices, and a dazzling selection of Penthouse residences crown the building. Each home of 75 First Ave blends a modern open layout with sleek finishes, Italian doors and hardware by Lualdi, and gorgeous floor-to-ceiling windows. Kitchens are equipped with white and greige matte lacquered cabinets custom made in Italy by Arclinea, white Carrara marble countertops and backsplash, Fantini faucets, and top-of-the-line Miele appliances. Bathrooms are adorned with custom sinks and vanities, and Piasentina stone flooring.

The Colonnade Group developed the building, created by HTO Architect and designed by Stefano Pasqualetti.

Guess it should be safe, according to the plans,
to live in the overhang .

Now I know precisely what the term "word salad" refers to. That press release is an utter farrago of nonsense.

It will be nice to not hear them working at 7:30 am. I can't imagine how noisy its been at the site - we're a couple blocks away.

So much broker babble, which translates to: There's a ceiling, a floor, walls, windows, and a roof on the building. Big fat hairy deal.

Looks so out of place! And I am sure will be multi millionaires who buy and do not even live there

Looking at the website, it looks like every unit is under contract.

Actually, I believe that this building is supported by its thick central column, and not by its south wall. So it looks cantilevered, but is actually more traditional. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Too short!

It's a cantilevered design. The central portion between the buildings supports the whole upper part. The floors are pretty typical beam/column construction. I live across the street and have been watching it (noisily) rise.
