Superior Ink Condominiums and Townh

I guess people paying 4mm are so rich they just don't care, but there are some poor bastards in contract for one bedrooms at 2000 psf...geez, I don't think is going to be a "wv will hold its value" example

there's a few threads on this already. it was meant to be a downtown 15CPW. i think they missed their window and whatever units fall out of contract will have a seriously hard time getting even close to the asking prices. hillary swank will be your neighbor though. if that's something that excites you.

jasonkyle, yeah def missed the window on 15 CPW 2007 pricing. Also think they missed the mark on design. Those orange bricks look weird. The townhouses are pretty cool if you have a spare $11m lying around.

anything new on progress / closing dates for superior ink? i wonder how the developer is going to try to convince depositors to close at 2000+ psf. older thread says lots of people were trying to get out of contracts, but i haven't heard much other than rumor of several related (developer) employees in contract (presumably at "insider" prices) actively trying to get out. how can related expect outsiders to close when their own employees want out at lower prices?

It's getting lively over on the One Jackson Square thread. Anything happening here? Much bigger development but eerily quiet on StreetEasy. Have closing notices gone out?

Marc Jacobs and his boyfriend also bought a townhouse at Superior Ink.

It's a fabulous development...and will sell all the units easily (without price cuts).

oh prada....just too fabulous for words aren't you?

Sweetie, don't try to degrade me. We all have our preferences and prefer the chic clientele that buildings like One Jackson Square, Superior Ink, Perry Street Development draws.

I would much prefer being neighbors with people like Marc, Adriana, Hugh, Lenny Kravitz, Gwyneth than being neighbors with Fran and Mortimer and their three cats a floor down in a dusty Park Avenue co-op. I like modern, fresh, young, heavy amenity, fabulous buildings.

That's just me. Superior Ink is a superior building...look at the sales figures.

Let's wait and see the *closing* figures, Prada. In this environment we all know contracts do not necessarily lead to actual sales, especially when contracts were signed at peak 2007 prices. Somehow I doubt they'll do an equally superior job of closing these deals.

Related almost certainly gave Marc Jacobs a sweet deal for the marketing value. How fabulous for him.

wow bob wow...

That is some list of celebuprops. Enough to keep Patrick McMullan and Samantha Jones busy for weeks, I'm sure. I bet you want to be their neighbors.

Just one question, though: What makes you so sure that they want to be YOUR neighbors?

Cary Tamarkin has a development on the block and last I checked he had not sold one unit in his building. The Far West Village used to be cool and out of the way. Now with Meatpacking being Coney Island, the Hi-Line, the hotels on 13th street, Magnolia being overrun, the West Village has lost some of the character that made it so special and it will continue to morph into something less special than it was. Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein-talk about trash.

its fake wanne be's like you that Im going to enjoy watch getting busted out in this crash.

Anyone else think that Prada is in the wrong major metropolitan area? LA, sweets, that's the place for you, and yours.

I can just imagine the scene in one of these amenities-laden buildings:

Marc and Lorenzo chatting in the hallway outside of the Entertainment Lounge, having just finished glasses of wine.
Gwyneth sees them as she is coming out of the Screening Room, and they wave her over. You can still hear the closing credits to The Talented Mr. Ripley in the background because Gwyneth forgot to turn off the DVD player again in spite of repeated reminders from the Condo Board.
Marc: DId you see Madge at the Costume Institute Ball last night? I'm so glad I didn't design that.
Gwyneth: I know. Hot mess (she says in quotes). [Smiles all around.]
Lorenzo: Did you like Cornwall? I heard you took up surfing?
Gwyneth is about to answer, but the door to the Amenities Floor opens.

Prada smiles as she walks by cooly and casually because he's so used to being around celebrities, Marc nods in acknowledgement back, Prada feels the sunshine warmth of living among such fabulous people, but, no, actually she is just startled because the iPhone in his Louis Vuitton case starts vibrating. She continues walking down to the Pilates Room for his workout with the trainer the building's concierge scheduled.

Gwyneth: Oh. Who was that?
Marc (rolling his eyes): That? That was Prada from 8A. I hate always having to smile at all these people whenever we come down here to use the Entertainment Lounge, but we LoVe to come up here for a glass of wine because it is so nice.
Lorenzo (after a few seconds, nose turns up as his face cocks to smell something): Was he wearing that new Calvin Klein fragrance: Condescension?
Gwyneth turns to smell -- and nods yes, puzzled because she can't really tell if she likes it yet or not, realizes she's left the DVD player on, and turns to go back to the Screening Room and turn it off.

skinny, your posts are fab. the effort is appreciated.

"Anyone else think that Prada is in the wrong major metropolitan area? LA, sweets, that's the place for you, and yours."

Ew. No.

I'm too chic for LA. How can people in LA even participate in F/W seasons? Nobody dresses fab; no Alaia monkey furs with the Valli tights with the Balenciaga boots, no fabulous Balmain jackets with the Michael Jackson'esque shoulders.., it's just a mess. Nobody has taste. I would just die. The only reason I threw out celebrity names is because if I mentioned Lorenzo, Zac, Agness, etc, none of you would know who they were. Most celebrities are tacky.

I like desingers like Marc...and sophisticated celebs like Gwyneth. I like proper neighbors...not boring people with no sense of aesthetics so it's only fitting I would gravitate towards buildings like One Jackson Square, Superior Ink, etc. over....a boring unfabulous building on E 70th.

"Let's wait and see the *closing* figures, Prada. In this environment we all know contracts do not necessarily lead to actual sales, especially when contracts were signed at peak 2007 prices. Somehow I doubt they'll do an equally superior job of closing these deals."

The vast majority of the apartments/homes in contract will close and will close at full price sweetie. No price concessions.

I highly doubt the likes of Marc will ask for price concessions. How embarassing. Marc only gets on his knees for his bf Lorenzo. All the good people signing contracts for building can easily afford their new homes.

This isn't some low quality product on the UES.

I'm beginning to think Prada actually is satire after disagreeing with that on the One Jackson thread. I'm beginning to feel a Right Said Fred vibe.

LOL, you people are hilarious. Prada, do you actually know all these people? I know Marc, Kravitz, Gwyneth, Jackman, Adriana (Ambriosso) all do live in that neighborhood.

I saw Jessica Alba and her husband looking at an apartment thre a few weeks ago..with the hard hats and all.

Do you know these them or are you a stalker?

they were looking at a condo in superior ink.

It's an overrated building imo.

"I'm beginning to think Prada actually is satire after disagreeing with that on the One Jackson thread. I'm beginning to feel a Right Said Fred vibe."

I may live a great life, but satire? Please. And to answer an old question - no, I'm not a broker or the developer of One Jackson Square (or Superior Ink). Just a potential buyer.

I don't think you have that many celebrities in a condo. Wouldn't make sense, what celebrity wants an apartment that isn't the Penthouse or one of the best lower floors with a good terrace? The idea is crazy.
Also, the "amenities floor?" WTF is that about? Going to be used by the cool people or the douches in the building who want to do some starfucking. Gwynneth Paltrow doesn't have her own big plasma that she can watch in private without having to run into tools like Marc Jacobs or meaningless voyeurs like Prada. Maybe to use the gym, but the screening room? The public lounge is for the estranged young kids of the rich divorced asshole in 8A.

And for Prada, "I'm beginning to think Prada is satire ..." Good observation. I have some real estate to sell you, great views, spacious, low price per square foot, low monthlies, no intrisive board, guaranteed to go up in price, can be rented annually for 25% of what you pay.

"I don't think you have that many celebrities in a condo. Wouldn't make sense, what celebrity wants an apartment that isn't the Penthouse or one of the best lower floors with a good terrace?"

As usual - you don't know what you're talking about. Sweetie, when it comes to fabulousness just keep quiet and read my posts with glee and fascination.

Many celebrities aren't fabulously rich. Even if they are, not all of them spend it on the most luxurious apartment in the building. For example, there hoards of celebrities crammed into the 145 Hudson (SkyLoft) in Tribeca, such as Gwyneth, and she doesn't even live on the top floor.

A friend of mine is in contract at Superior Ink and I've been informed that there are lots of celebrity contracts signed. Her new home is a surprise, but I'm guessing she bought one of the townhomes next to Marc Jacobs since she's keeping it a secret won't tell me. I am such a fan.

So fab!!

Sweetie? My dentist growing up used to refer to everyone as sweetie. My dentist! In the suburbs.

"A friend of mine is in contract at Superior Ink and I've been informed that there are lots of celebrity contracts signed. Her new home is a surprise, but I'm guessing she bought one of the townhomes next to Marc Jacobs since she's keeping it a secret won't tell me. I am such a fan."

Close friend you have we see, won't even tell you where s/he is moving. Wonder why.

"It's an overrated building imo."

Just because it is clearly out of your budget doesn't make it overrated.

Oh, by the way, those townhouses, aren't they being marketed with the tag line "West Village townhouse living perfected."?

Couldn't they afford an advertising agency? Perfected? lol, that's only slightly better than "West Village townhouse living redefined." So unbelievably uncreative and tacky, but I guess they know their audience.

I have no shame in saying it is out of my budget. How about you? Your "friends" won't even tell you where they are going to live.

nouveau trash like Prada really annoy me.

I'm going to home that Prada is female (or rather a spoof of a female). I suspect she is longing for a studio in Oculus or one of the other less expensive condos without any amenities, then she can "house sit" at more "exclusive" condos.

home -> hope

goodman, you come across as a very bitter and jealous person.

I don't show off. Have I even mentioned my budget? Source of income? Income? Other investments? No. I don't discuss my personal finances sweetie - but you are clearly jealous of my perceived wealth and need to quickly get over it.

If you're building a Condo where you expect a lot of celebs, why stock up on amenities? How many celebs are going to use a "public anything". I remember showing Judd Hirsch a Penthouse at 315 West 23rd Street years ago (he actually called on an ad and used a phony name) and he rejected it because part of the common roof terrace was above the terrace for the unit and although almost no one ever used the common roof terrace, he was convinced that if he bought the unit, everyone in the building would be going up there so they could look down on him.

Isn't it just that, your "perceived" wealth? You save all your money from your job as one of the overnight word processing temps at a law firm and use it to shop at Barney's Warehouse Sale to look "fab" and then go up to your 3rd floor tenement in Chelsea to change before going and house sitting for your rich friends' cats.

Exactly.

"Isn't it just that, your "perceived" wealth? "

How cute.

Yes, cute "perfected"

I read all the responses here and none really give any info on superior Ink. Does anyone know anything about the building aside from what they're read in the newspapers?

From what I've seen, heard and read, the building is a few months behind its initial construction schedule. But it looks like they're doing a really fine job all around. The union tradesmen appear to be taking their time to ensure that the building is extremely well built, with a lot of attention to detail. So far I've seen nothing to suggest that the developer is rushing this project along. And that is certainly good news for buyers there. Getting top-notch quality in new construction these days is a very rare thing indeed. Both Related and architect, Robert A.M. Stern, have mentioned in several published articles that Superior Ink is intended to be of the same calibre as that of 15CPW.

From what I've observed so far, I think that they're right on track. This is a great building, at a great location, on a wonderful historic West Vill block. If anyone who purchased there would offer their insights on possible closing dates etc, pls share your insights.

bignycfan, i think a big difference between 15 CPW and Superior Ink are the proportions. 15 CPW has generous proportions in terms of ceiling heights and room sizes whereas Superior Ink apartments have small living rooms and bedrooms. Can't get my head around why anyone would put up with that for $2-3k/ft. When you look at the floorplans, they are more reminiscent of 6th Avenue rentals that 15 CPW.

Have closings started here? I see there is an apartment listed for rent. It will be interesting to see at what price resales hit the market.

If they started, it has only been in the last couple weeks. I've noticed that kind of lag between actual closings and when they show up on Streeteasy.

How about a 1br for $10,750/month? Somebody is seriously delusional.

Something strange about this thread. It doesn't get bumped by new posts. Maybe Related has paid to have it buried???

Now that I have exposed the conspiracy, it is back to normal.

thedeuce, my comments are often delayed. one wonders if they are actually censoring things. hard to imagine, i think their capacity is just being challenged.

there is another closing at one jax.

There are no sales filed in ACRIS.

I hear that the interior are simply gorgeous. From what I can see at street level, it seems to be true. Have you seen that amazing lobby? Absolutely stunning! Nothing in all the West Village compares.

bignycfan - but you don't live in the lobby - at least, they won't let you.

"Nothing" in all the West Village compares? NOTHING? Are you serious or shilling for this development?

Related is good at lobbies. The Caledonia in Chelsea has the most stylish lobby in New York. The problem is once u go upstairs to apartments in Superior Ink. They seem unremarkable & small for the price. Maybe its because everyone at this price level will use interior designers & do gut renovations?

Hey, thedeuce, name one or two other lobbies in the west village that are nicer than Superior Ink. Superior has a double height ceiling, has a very nice seating area, has several pieces of art, including a large water feature, elegant drapery, custom designed carpeting, etc. I don't know about you, but I do not like the austere, minimalist lobbies seen at many high-end condos, including those glass towers on Perry St, or One Jackson Sq.

bignycfan....for months now you have been gloating about Superior Ink with the following comments: "...doing a really fine job all around..."; "...the building is extremely well built, with a lot of attention to detail..."; "...This is a great building, at a great location, on a wonderful historic West Vill block....; "...I hear that the interior are simply gorgeous...Have you seen that amazing lobby? Absolutely stunning!..." ARE YOU KIDDING?? what a thinly veiled shill for the developer. What normal person talks that way...you sound like a brochure!?! I thought the Street Easy was supposed to be a Web site where insiders told us the real story behind the facade....then I get this "infomercial" from bignycfan. Puhleaze!!!

bignycfan has been posting on behalf of Related on the Harrison and Brompton boards too. Alert alert. Paid shill alert.

The Harrison: "It is a beautiful building. Related has done another fine job."

The Brompton: "Prices have indeed come down in Manhattan and elsewhere. But people who signed contracts at Related developments will know that they will be getting what was promised and what they paid for - excellent quality, by a company that stands behind their product."

Flip of the century if it works. Superior Ink penthouse for $39m--up from $25m a week ago.
http://curbed.com/archives/2009/10/01/superior_shocker_25m_penthouse_already_back_on_market.php

The buyer turned seller is on CRACK. She'll either hold it a LONG time (and keep paying carrying costs) or she'll wind up selling for around what she paid, probably losing anyway after all transaction costs. Obviously she's betting we're suddenly back in a bull RE market. We're not...

Superior ink is simply superior to anything downtown. The sales sales and the closings tell the picture.

The apartments are lovely, the building is magnificent, the lobby is lavish, the finishes are out of this world, and the sheer amount of amentities that come along with this building are numerous from the in-door valet parking, screening rooms, spa, 24/7 concierge services and advanced security systems, to name a few.

The closings have begun and thus far, everyone is closing from the smallest units to the townhouses to the $25M penthouse.

The penthouse will easily sell at $39.5m asking to the right buyer.

It's rare to come accross raw space in a building on the same caliber as Superior Ink.

i have heard the unicorn is looking for a place to purchase.

Looks like developer shill bignycfan has a new username...first-time poster, mmm10.

"The penthouse will easily sell at $39.5m asking to the right buyer."
AR, the unicorn has looked but found the plumbing connections inadequate for his needs.

"It's rare to come accross raw space in a building on the same caliber as Superior Ink."
It's rare to come across developer shill garbage as obvious as you.

Isn't "Superior" a lake in flyover country?

the unicorn is sad. he thought he had finally found the superior property he has been dreaming of.

Wow. A screening room? Wait, I think we already discussed its uselessness above.

Also, if the valet parking is "in-door", how does that work? The leprechaun valet pops out of the doorframe to take your car back into the wall? :) (Come on, I thought it was a really funny image when I first read it.)

All that aside, I have a real question about buying on the West Side Highway. Does everything on your terrace on the highway just get covered in filth because you are right next to the highway. Or, is that part of the highway different from an avenue because the river is right there and ventilates the space well-enough so that you don't get such a buildup? Anyone have any experience with that? Does it make a difference if you are, say, a block in from the highway on Washington?

SkinnyNsweet, it's not soot, it's magic celebrity fairy (e.g. Marc Jacobs) dust.

Anyway, you've lost a few of the many points you've earned through fabulous posts by not showing at the SE meetup last night. You can redeem yourself soon.

You wonder why a building at this price point with all of the supposed stellar credentials and amenties needs to have someone shilling for it on SE? After all, this is not some cookie cutter condo in Willamsburg, LIC or even the UES. This is (so they say) the downtown answer to 15 CPW, so why the need for shilling? The economy? Probably mostly. Then there's the facts that the neighborhood was more interesting when the building was an ink factory and some people don't relish living in an ultra-luxe version of Disneyland. Not to mention the fact that the "townhouses" (albeit from web site renderings, not seen in person or even live photography) look like they belong in Reston, Virginia.

Not where I would choose to buy a 900 sq ft 1 bed for $2MM+. Then again, never say never BUT, I can't think of anywhere I would want to buy a 900 sq ft 1 bed for $2MM+ (at least let me have a guest room).

All true ... and to summarize, if they really wanted to build cache and a sense of exclusivity, they'd exclude celebrities and other Inferior Ilk.

And did I mention that they'd avoid building names altogether (v. non-U), particularly ones that sound like they're from the vast unknown middle country? "400 West 12th" has a far more U tone.

Yesterday I saw Alex Rodriguez and Kate Hudson looking at apartments at Superior Ink.

Did they see you?

nothing like adding a little stability to the resident population.

Not exactly an ideal location for someone who works in that part of the South Bronx. Not that ARod will have to schlepp to West 4th to catch the D train but he will end up spending alot of time stuck on the Cross Bronx or the Harlem River drive, unless Hal Steinbrenner can get the city to spring for a helipad at the Stadium. No need to make Kate insecure but if ARod wanted to minimize his travel time, I would go be neighbors with old flame Madge.

guess who i saw there looking at unfinished units wearing hard hats and all....pic:

so many VIPs already in contract. that penthouse hold to the houston rockets owner.

that is very far from Bronx. Then I googled it an alas, he was looking there.

That is the entrance to Superior Ink. Does anyone know who that broker is standing behind him? I've seen him somewhere. Either way, gross...can't stand him. That's why I like Co-Ops, since these idiots would never be allowed in.

I don't know why you poors are so jealous of Superior Ink.

Yea, lots of these celebrities are already in contract and this building is already sold out! This building is for people like Marc Jacobs, A. Rod, and fabulous European billionaires not you dowdy fools!

Get over it! How could a building as fab as this generate such negativity on this forum!!? Jealousy! It's 10X better than where you live!

"That's why I like Co-Ops, since these idiots would never be allowed in"
_______

WHO the hell wants to live in crummy old Co-Ops with a bunch of old people? There is no Co-Op unit on this planet that Alex Rordigez can not afford.

i think it's AWESOME that they can sequester themselves in an enclave so close to the West Side Highway.

This building isn't fab at all ... at best, it's prefab. But really it's just postfab. It's posteverything, as in passe, a region of declasse. I mean seriously, new construction "loft-like" buildings are for Phoenix or Houston or Cincinnatus.

A-Rod can throw his entire net worth plus all future earnings at any or all of the 40 Good Buildings in New York, and will never never ever get in. Less than zero chance.

aboutready, I wonder if Mr. Rodriguez has a thing for the tranny hos?

What is wrong with the West Side Highway?

West Village zip Code 10014 is the 3rd most expensive zip code in the United States (according to Forbes) for a reason.

If your idea of prime location is in a freeway, you are indeed ready for LA.

ah, there were many rumors surrounding a-rod.

Good, I doubt he wants to be around those old racists in co-ops anyway. The people who live in the West Village are far more interesting and enlightened than those silly fools on Park Avenue.

Tell that to the people who transformed that 'hood from an old industrial area to the 3rd most expensive neighborhood in the United States.

You probably live someplace boring like the Upper East Side.

prada, it's kind of sweet how much you care about A-Rod's happiness. i'm sure he appreciates it.

Oh, and West Side Highway is not really a highway. The speed limit is only 35-40 mph.

"Tell that to the people who transformed that 'hood from an old industrial area to the 3rd most expensive neighborhood in the United States."

And totally ruined it in the process. What I would like to tell those people is please go back where you came from.... But the damage has been done, there is no going back.

I'm not suggesting the Highline should have been gone back to being a freight line--although I at least partially learned to count by my mother holding me up in the window to "count the cars on the choo coo". But would have been so terrible to build light rail service for the far West Side? Its not like Hudson River Park issn't there for green recreation. But now we have a very pretty setting for luxury hotels, exhibitionists and vouyers to enjoy their version of the good life in sanitized 21st century New York. And instead of indsustrial jobs we have opportunities for desk clerks and waitresses--assuming of course you are 25 and fit the acceptable "look".

I'm just grateful to have found a new neighborhood of townhouses and (not renovated) tenements, with some very "old money", cops, teachers, lawyers, bankers, singles of all ages and orientations, families, elderly peopole...complete ethnic diversity and yes, housing projects.

And at least my best friend from High School and I had a great excuse for doing a shot when that Forbes "third most expensive zip code" was published. And I know somewhere in a hopefully better world, my parents and their friends are laughing their asses off.

"Good, I doubt he wants to be around those old racists in co-ops anyway. The people who live in the West Village are far more interesting and enlightened than those silly fools on Park Avenue."

... rufus, you come across as a very bitter and jealous person.

"Tell that to the people who transformed that 'hood from an old industrial area to the 3rd most expensive neighborhood in the United States."

... you mean the trannie hos? Give them the message from me when you're at your second job ... when you're done folding rags at Conway.

IMHO the trannie hos made for a far more interesting neighborhood than some of the residents of Superior Ink and its ilk.

Two friends who grew up in (separately) and now live (separately) in that neighborhood have recently told me (much to my surprise) that the tranny hos are still doing a very brisk business there, but instead of in cars and between parked trucks, Prada and the rest of them now offer blowjobs in residential doorways and vestibules on Greenwich and Washington and the midblocks therebetween.

And, on an unrelated note, street urination just anywhere and anytime (e.g., weekday afternoon mid-sidewalk by sober-seeming 30-something guy in suit) has found a new popularity around there, extending even to Hudson St.

Are there any online floorplans for the townhouses?

"That's why I like Co-Ops, since these idiots would never be allowed in"

Totally untrue. I live in a Coop almost entirely populated by TOTAL idiots.

"Two friends who grew up in (separately) and now live (separately) in that neighborhood have recently told me (much to my surprise) that the tranny hos are still doing a very brisk business there, but instead of in cars and between parked trucks, Prada and the rest of them now offer blowjobs in residential doorways and vestibules on Greenwich and Washington and the midblocks therebetween."

While up from a recent near extinction, it's NOWHERE NEAR what it was in the "good old days", just like the other strolls which have resurfaced in minor ways in several Manhattan areas.

"This building isn't fab at all ... at best, it's prefab. But really it's just postfab. "

forgot to give wit kudos here - deserved.

Only a juvenile mind would be consider purchasing a multi-million dollar home because "goll-ee, I might get to ride in the elevator with a celebrity." Who are you people (prada, mmm)? Your statements are so dumb you don't even make good shills.

Latest reports on Curbed and The Real Deal show that Superior Ink is doing exceedingly well, both in sales contracts and closings. Read that nearly 2 dozens apts have 'closed' since closing began in late Sept. And there have no price reductions. This building continues to confound skeptics who initially believed that contracts wouldn't get signed, to then insisting that buyers wouldn't close when the time came. They were wrong on both accounts. StreetEasy also shows that, aside from re-sales, only 4 apts remain unsold. And press reports continue to reveal A-list personalities who bought there, including Fortune 500 CEOs, sports stars, movie stars, fashion icons etc. I'm not gloating that I was right about this bldg, just pleased that high-end R/E in the city is back on track.

http://curbed.com/archives/2009/12/17/superior_ink_makes_bid_for_world_domination_renters.php#mor

The statistics are staggering!!!

I'm totally confounded at the performance of this building. $3000/ft for generic construction. Gotta give it to Related. They know how to sell a building. They sold out the Caledonia also. Unbelievable. http://curbed.com/archives/2009/12/23/two_more_flippers_aim_for_superior_returns_in_west_village.php#reader_comments
