The 13-story development features only four- to six- bedroom units — either full-floor or half-floor apartments — that range from 3,795 square feet to 4,654 square feet, in addition to two penthouses that have over 6,000 square feet. Shelton, Mindel & Associates and Beyer Blinder Belle Architects designed the project.

Several units are already in contract, including one to a foreign buyer, Saltiel and Elghanayan told The Real Deal at an on-site press event this morning. However, they would not specify the number of contracts signed, and the listings are not public.
