OMA to build its first residential high-rise in New York City

Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas was in New York today to unveil his design for 23 East 22nd Street, a new luxury high rise in the Flatiron district that will rise immediately adjacent to the recently completed One Madison Park tower by Cetra-Ruddy architects with which it will share a lobby and building amenities.
The 24-storey building will include 18 residences, a Creative Artists Agency (CAA) screening room, pool and gym. The building will be distinguished in the skyline by its dramatic cantilevered floors. “Mirroring the traditional New York setback, the building’s form is at once familiar and distinctive," said OMA founder Rem Koolhaas. “The form provides a number of unexpected moments that appear at each step- balconies at the upper part of the building and floor windows at the lower part- providing a variety of unit types and features throughout the building."
The building is scheduled for completion in 2010

One Madison Park to Receivership; Flood of Sales to Come?

One Madison Park
+Enlarge Danny Kim All is not lost for would-be buyers of ultra-luxe condos at the skyscraper-cum-recession symbol that is One Madison Park.

A judge on Thursday ordered the appointment of a receiver and the resumption of sales at the 23rd Street condominium tower, a 60-story monument to the reckless hubris of the run-up to the Great Recession.

The building is still incomplete, is the subject of more than a dozen lawsuits and has caused a rift between the two principals and onetime friends who, as Slazer Enterprises, developed the tower. In February, lender iStar Financial sued to foreclose on the property, which forced a halt to all sales in the building.

The Observer profiled the development, and the resulting imbroglio, in March.

Tamir Shemesh, the Prudential Douglas Elliman broker in charge of sales at the condo, said he was thrilled with the news.

"All parties are extremely happy with the judge's ruling, because obviously nobody wants to see the project fail," he said. "We have a lot of buyers that are waiting for resolution so they can move forward because they love the building so much."
