New condo hopes for help from High Line
Builder-designer Tamarkin joins architect's row with steel-windowed project September 14, 2009 06:00PM By Steve Cutler
456 West 19th Street boasts Tamarkin as architect and developer
One of the new projects near the architect's row in Far West Chelsea boasts one man as both architect and developer.

Only around 10 percent of the building, or two of the units, has sold so far. Yet both Tamarkin and Lambert say they are not worried about selling the apartments, which will be ready for occupancy in January.
