Condo conversion sales hot on Waverly Place.

In the historic West Village, just east of Sheridan Square, a new residential condominium conversion, 147 Waverly Place, has already sold over 85% of its 20 luxury residences after opening for sales in March.

"The response we have received to 147 Waverly, since we have begun our sales and marketing efforts, can best be attributed to the well-designed residences and incredible amenities and finishes that are unique to a West Village residential loft development," said Sean Murphy Turner, Senior Vice President of Stribling Marketing Associates.

The 12-story, 44,400 s/f structure was built in 1912, an era in which the West Village derived its reputation as a cradle of creativity and artistic energy. The renovated structure consists of 20 half and full-floor condominiums ranging in size from 1,450 to 3,900 s/f.

The building's unique heptagonal structure contributes dynamic angles and multiple exposures, offering exceptional light and views. Each residence embraces modern luxury features, yet retains its historic character derived from the surrounding West Village.

BKSK Architects designed 147 Waverly Place, with partner Joan Krevlin acting as the lead design architect. The firm has designed a number of outstanding residential developments in TriBeCa including Fisher Mills, 124 Hudson Street and The Hubert, as well as 345 West 13th Street located in the West Village.

"We are extremely pleased that the units are selling so fast. Clearly buyers agree that 147 Waverly combines the best features of this turn of the century building, with new 21st century amenities," said Burt Miller, principal of KMG Partners.

A variety of residential units are crafted ranging from an open loft space with private balcony to a duplex penthouse loft residence on twelfth floor. A private terrace, outdoor fireplace, hot tub and indoor wood burning fireplace, along with four bedrooms and seven exposures are features of this one-of-a-kind penthouse residence.

Each of the twenty units also features rich wenge hardwood floors, and luxurious master spa baths with gris de sienna stone slab countertops and bateig azul stone floors. Every kitchen boasts elegant Valcucine Artematica cabinetry, and will be equipped with a Wolf range, SubZero refrigerator and wine cooler, and Miele dishwasher. The kitchen breakfast bar is clad in wenge-stained oak and stainless steel. The building also features a 24 hour concierge, full-time superintendent, private storage and a landscaped common room terrace with panoramic skyline view.

"Our design for 147 Waverly Place takes advantage of the extended southern exposure to give each unit an exceptional amount of natural light. We sought to reflect the historic industrial character of the structure, while creating modern, elegant residences in one of New York City's most exciting neighborhoods," said BKSK Architects partner Harry Kendall.

Sean Murphy Turner and Mary Ellen Cashman, Senior Vice Presidents of Stribling Marketing Associates are the exclusive sales and marketing agents for 147 Waverly Place.
