Address: 92 Laight, 424 Washington, Google Maps
Architect: Ismael Levya
Developer: Shaya Boymelgreen
The River Lofts condominium project along West Street at 92 Laight and
424 Washington is already 60 percent sold.
The former parking lot - on the north side of Laight, across from the Sugar Warehouse
- has gone through gyrations for more than a dozen years, since it was controlled
by now-defunct American Savings Bank.
The community insisted that the incredibly dilapidated warehouse at 424 Washington
be rescued by the original hotel developer.
The current developer, Shaya Boymelgreen, accomplished this through the collaboration
of Tsao & McKown with project architect Ismael Levya.
A new 13-story tower is rising on the parking lot and attached through its rear
skylit gallery to the warehouse. The gallery will feature a live video art installation
of the ebbs and flows of the Hudson River.
The Sunshine Group is marketing the 1,100- to 3,900-square-foot units, which
are priced from $1.125 million to $8.55 million; they'll be ready for occupancy
in 2005.
