Nestled in the dense, jungly heart of the artistic, luxurious enclave of Coconut Grove, Glasshaus will be a low-rise residential building with large units beginning at over 1,000 square feet for a one bedroom unit and topping out at 2,380 square feet for three bedrooms. The design is contemporary yet natural, an aesthetic combination that has been right at home in the Grove since some of Miami's most interesting midcentury modernist architects started experimenting there in the years just before, and after the second world war. Buildings such as the Office in the Grove, the Coconut Grove Public Library, the glass house in Peacock Park, and the Mayfair Hotel, which is literally two blocks away from the future site of GlassHaus in the Grove, come readily to mind.

Amenities include a rooftop pool and summer kitchen (although in Miami 'winter kitchen' is really a much more apt description), private garden, fitness center, and of course walkability to everything else in Coconut Grove. Prices range from $595,000 to $1.2 million. It is being developed by GD.8 and Element Development LLC and designed by Varabyeu Partners.

Developed by Lodha, Lincoln Square is based around the garden court, and most units also have a beautiful view of the Royal Courts of Justice. The area is also home to some of the best academic institutions like University College London, RADA, and Birkbeck University. While each unit enjoys floor to ceiling windows, select apartments in the building will also have a private garden, as well as street accessible front doors for easy access. For those looking to host their own entertainment, the building is also outfitted with a reservable private dining room that seats up to 36 at the Grand Table.

The building is also jam-packed with luxury amenities at tenants’ disposals, from a 25-meter pool, indoor gym, private training rooms, kids’ room, a private cinema, and more. In following the ongoing trend of luxury real estate, the building looks to model the luxe lifestyles and amenities of some of the finest resorts, offering a concierge service, wellness center, private library, and social club for residents to mingle and meet one another through.

For those living the non-stop London lifestyle, the Lincoln Square units offered through this new construction are built for someone working hard in the day and relaxing all through the night. With CBRE and Knight Frank managing the properties listings, the building is already seeing quite a bit of buzz in buyers’ interest. Now’s the time to go swipe one up!

HearthCabinet has created a “ventless fireplace”. An actual flame that requires no flume, gas, chimney, or even electricity, and without having to succumb to those twist on colored flames or, heaven forbid, the TV fireplace. The product works by burning through alcohol gel cartridges, similar to those of a Sterno under a chaffing dish. Each unit is single use and burn out rather than growing into too big a flame, meaning there’s no plume of smoke to fill the living room when shifting the logs. Each cartridge of the alcohol gel burns for about two to three hours and doesn’t need to be vented.

Each fireplace is also about the size of a paper box, and therefore customizable to any home or setting since they don’t need a whole chimney built into them, making them perfect for apartment buildings. The trend is also taking off with some of New York’s biggest names with fashion icons like Diana Berkeley of Alice and Olivia recently installing one in her home. The fireplaces are the perfect thing to add the right amount of heat to your apartment this winter.

NoMad is ramping up to be the next big neighborhood for New York’s finer living crowd, with a great blend of restaurants in the area like Eleven Madison Park and the NoMad a short walk away, a park that’s always full of dogs, kids, and art exhibits, without drawing in every college freshman, and hotels like The NoMad and the newly opened MADE hotel bringing tourism back to the neighborhood. Tucked just out of the bustling reaches of midtown without the oversaturated populous of SoHo or the village, NoMad is offering residents a unique pocket of the city to finally find some peace and quiet in, a welcomed commodity in New York living.

The NOMA is expected to be completed in December of 2017, with units ranging in six rom 1 bedrooms, 1 bedrooms with a den, 2, and three bedroom units, ranging from 679 square feet to over 2500 square feet and priced between $1.55 million and $2.6 million. The building also offers a landscaped terrace, library, fitness center, and bicycle storage area. The crown jewel of the building is their signature penthouse, which boasts 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms over 2200 square feet with expansive, 360 degree views of the city, and is priced at $6.75 million.

Developed by Alchemy Properties and with a beautiful neo-bauhaus inspired façade by the team at FXFOWLE, the building does a great job honoring the ornate features and architecture of the surrounding neighborhood, while still being a great step forward in innovation for residents.

A duplex residence at 210 West 77th Street will cost up to $21 million.

Enter developer Miki Naftali and Danish architect Thomas Juul-Hansen, whose 210 West 77th Street project will nourish the Upper West Side community with 18-stories of luxury apartments, slated for occupancy in early 2016. West-siders who are already salivating better prepare to pony up some dough, as apartment prices will reportedly range from $4.85 million to over $21 million.

77th Street residences are half- and full-floor units ranging from 2,058-square-feet to a .5,973-square-foot duplex penthouse

Inspired by Danish modernism, the 210 West 77th Street building resembles an edifice you’d bicycle past in Copenhagen rather than New York City (and that’s a good thing). Juul-Hansen’s building design features hand-formed Danish brick, Juliet balcony façades, and oversized mahogany windows that are harmonious with the Upper West Side’s architectural character. Not since Danish immigrant Jonas Bronck (for which The Bronx is named) has a Dane given New York City so much in a time of need.

“I’m a big believer in the beauty of natural materials,” said Juul-Hansen, whose résumé includes interiors at luxurious developments, private homes and Michelin star restaurants such as Jean-Georges. “I believe this gives the architecture and design a timeless quality.”

The 210 W. 77th Street project offers fireplaces and outdoor terraces.

The 77th Street residences are half- and full-floor units ranging from 2,058-square-feet for three-bedrooms, to a 5,973-square-foot duplex penthouse with outdoor space. Select residences offer fireplaces and outdoor terraces. All units offer private access via an elevator that transports directly to the apartments.

The residences boast contemporary features—open layouts, solid oak-plank floors, large chef-quality kitchens with Miele appliances, polished Everest Grey quartzite slab countertops, and sleek white-lacquer cabinetry with polished chrome handles.

Master bathrooms offer Grigio Piove marble, custom wenge wood vanities and Waterworks bathtubs. Meanwhile the powder room showcases beautiful polished Marron Imperial marble slabs on the floor, accent walls, and custom carved sinks. The lobby design is highlighted by a sculptural double-height glass ceiling, detailed white oak wall panels, and Omani limestone flooring.

The building’s amenities include a 24-hour doorman and concierge, a roof terrace, a fitness center, bicycle storage, and perhaps (according to design renderings) select garages. The residences are close to popular eateries such as Ouest, Spiga, and Telepan, as well as a handful of gourmet markets.

“210 West 77th Street presented a unique opportunity to innovate architecturally while respecting of the character and beauty of the Upper West Side historic district,” said Miki Naftali, founder, chairman, and CEO of the Naftali Group, whose portfolio includes The Seymour at 261 West 25th Street, The Landmark Park Slope, The Bergen, and 33 Beekman.

The Upper West Side is an iconic neighborhood immortalized by pop culture—including the tragic assassination of John Lennon, and Seinfeld, You’ve Got Mail, Woody Allen’s Manhattan and most famously, by the Oscar-winning classic "West Side Story." Many artists, actors, celebrities, educators, and professionals call this community home. Dominated by five-story brownstones, famous Central Park towers with ornamented façades (The Dakota, San Remo, El Dorado) and older grand buildings topped with water towers, the Upper West Side is tight on space—despite its wide sidewalks and avenues. The 210 West 77th Street development is a rare example of recent new construction.

Upper West Side living space has always been a premium. During the construction of Central Park in the 1850s and 1860s, squatters moved their shacks into the Upper West Side (laying claim to any space they could find). This led to undesirable boarding houses and rowdy taverns.

One hundred years later, tenements used in the filming of "West Side Story" were razed to make way for Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. Today, the luxurious 210 West 77th building represents the latest call for urban renewal. But this modern west side story doesn’t require movie gangs or squatters to reclaim turf—just luxury space for its restless citizens.

Academy Award-winning film West Side Story was filmed on the Upper West Side, near where Lincoln Center now stands.
