200 ELEVENTH AVENUE: BUILDING OF THE YEAR?


Posted by Leonard Steinberg on December 31, 2010

Of course we are completely biased, as we were actively involved in the creation and marketing of 200 Eleventh Avenue. And while it may not be a huge compliment, we took it as one when CURBED.COM rated 200 Eleventh Avenue the BEST NEW BUILDING OF 2010.

Kudo’s to Annebelle Selldorf who has not yet received the (well deserved) recognition for the architecture of the building, not just the En Suite Sky Garage that made it famous. With it’s gracefully curved terracota-clad base and stainless steel tower, the contextual contemporary architectural style represents a significant departure from the dearth of flat glass buildings constructed in the first decade of the 2000’s.

The building, located at Eleventh Avenue and 24th Street, in West Chelsea, New York, has set record pricing for the area: A recent sale produced pricing in excess of $ 3,700/sf.

We agree with Curbed 100%.
