17 East 12th Street

The luxury condo conversion at 17 East 12th Street is representative of an increasing momentum in the neighborhood towards the ultra-high-end. The 11 story, nine-unit condo conversion was once home to a 50,000-square-foot parking facility before it was picked up by Rigby Assent Management last August. From its German-crafted faucets to its imported London stock brick exterior, the Bromley Caldari and Richard Mishaan-designed residences boast materials sourced from around the world. The units range from three- to four-bedrooms and feature terraces on the upper floors, 11-foot ceilings, electronic kitchen cabinetry that opens by touch, folding glass walls, herringbone oak floors and wood-burning fireplaces. Sales began in late June 2014. At press time, there were three units on offer: two 4,514-square-foot four-bedrooms, asking $16 million and 14.25 million, and a 4,743-square-foot penthouse on the market for $25 million.  Each residence includes a private parking space in the adjoining, automated garage.
