The Adagio at 243 West 60th Street went on sale in late 2007.

From the August issue: From one of the penthouse terraces at the Element, a condo on West 59th Street a block and a half from the Hudson River, marketer Shlomi Reuveni gives a bird's eye tour of the changes to the surrounding area over the past few years.

Immediately to the north, he points out, there's the new condo 10 West End Avenue. Across the street, John Jay College is building a new facility. A couple blocks north, the Extell Development Company has broken ground on the latest buildings in its massive Riverside South project.

Further south, Fordham University is planning its expansion. The surrounding blocks — which were largely industrial until a few years ago — are dotted with several other new condos and rentals.

"When the developer [of the Element] first looked at the site in 2004 and 2005, the area was mostly industrial and lined with garages, gas stations and warehouses," says Reuveni, an executive managing director with Brown Harris Stevens Select who began marketing the Element while he worked at Corcoran Sunshine, and continued to do so after he switched brokerages a couple years ago.
