Developer Anbau Enterprises broke ground today on the 16-story eco-friendly condominium it’s been planning for 124 West 23rd Street since before the market crashed. An exterior rendering of the project isn’t yet available, but the company, which has been behind projects like 110 Central Park South and Harsen House at 120 West 72nd Street, has tapped BKSK Architects to design a 34-unit building, complete with floor-to-ceiling windows and Juliette balconies. Scheduled for completion during the summer of 2012, the condo will have studios, one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms and penthouses as well as 4,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. TRD [more]
