Star Architect I.M. Pei’s Condominium Building in Manhattan Sells at High
Speed
NEW YORK, /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
Even in the midst of a slower real estate market, some projects stand out:
Chinese born star architect I.M. Pei, known for such iconic buildings as the
Bank of China building in Hong Kong, the Pyramid of the Louvre in Paris or the
Four Seasons hotel in New York designed his first condominium building in the
heart of Manhattan.
Named “The Centurion” and located at 33 West 56th Street, it is the first new
building in this prestigious area of New York for over 20 years.
Just steps from Central Park and New York’s most exclusive shops, the
Centurion features only 48 unique apartments. Prices start at $2.9 million and
apartments sell at high speed to buyers all over the world.
Already, over 60% of the building is sold and now, since the iconic structure is
already visible, interest even increased. Completion is expected in Spring 2009;
Just last year I.M. Pei celebrated his 90th birthday and is proud to collaborate
on the Centurion with his son Sandy who owns an architectural firm in New
York. It is just one of the reasons why the building has special emotional value
for I.M. Pei.
And it shows: The Centurion’s architecture shows all the hallmarks of an
experienced master - the proportions of the residences are amazing, ceilings are
high and the elegant finishes are of the highest quality.
Residents will enjoy 24 hour security and a door attendant, a dedicated
concierge, a foyer lounge with waterfall and a private gym - and in addition the
Centurion will feature the rarest of amenities in Manhattan: A parking garage.
The project shows that a quality project is in high demand at all times, no
matter what the general market conditions are.
In fact, the Manhattan luxury market shows significant appreciation even
today, says Thomas Guss, President of New York Residence Inc. who helps
international investors to buy in the Centurion. “The special location and the
exclusive ambiance of the building make the Centurion a great investment -
there will always be those who want the best” says Guss.
I.M. Pei defines New York as the most exciting city in the world and says
“New York constantly changes - and I am here with the change”.
