A pair of ultra-luxury condo towers across from Google’s newest Manhattan office hub is getting set to start sales at prices as high as $63 million.
The developers of 80 Clarkson, at the southern edge of the West Village, filed their offering plan for the project with the state attorney general’s office. The 112 units range from two to seven bedrooms, and 80% of the apartments will have outdoor space, thanks to the design’s stepped setbacks. Many also will offer Hudson River views.
The towers — set to reach 400 and 450 feet when completed — will be the tallest buildings in the low-slung neighborhood, overshadowing the townhouses and stouter modern condos around them. The project is just a block from Google’s offices at 550 Washington St., the former St. John’s Terminal site, which opened last year.
The offering plan filed by Zeckendorf Development, Atlas Capital Group and the Baupost Group discloses prices for 26 of the units so far. The least expensive of those is a roughly $6.8 million two-bedroom apartment with just over 1,900 square feet of space. The largest price tag is $63 million for a five-bedroom spread spanning the whole 31st floor of the west tower, with nearly 7,000 square feet indoors plus almost 600 square feet of outdoor space.
Apartments are being marketed quietly starting this month, according to a person familiar with the effort.
The interest in 80 Clarkson from luxury brokers and buyers has been “nothing short of extraordinary — exactly what we anticipated for a building of this caliber,” said Dan Tubb, the project’s senior director of sales. He added that the towers’ “striking height and presence” are “likely to forever remain unmatched along the Hudson River in the West Village.”
The project will hit the market as the condo construction boom along the far west side from Hudson Yards to Tribeca has slowed, and agents have little inventory to show to buyers who want to be among the first to live in a brand-new building.
There are signs that demand for new luxury developments south of 34th Street remains high. One High Line in West Chelsea recently passed $1 billion in sales, reaching that benchmark roughly two and a half years after starting to put units on the market. That’s faster than any downtown project in the past decade, according to 1 High Line’s developers.
