In this blog series, we highlight the latest NYC new development projects by neighborhood. We provide insight into the character of each neighborhood, discuss general trends, and what is driving new development in each neighborhood. For the first in the series we are focusing SoHo, West SoHo and Nolita. These neighborhoods feed off each other as they are all close to one another, all being just below Houston.

SoHo has long been a favorite neighborhood to many, with its upscale boutiques, art galleries, celebrity filled restaurants, cobblestone streets and stunning cast iron architecture from the 19th and 20th centuries. While lots of people want to live in SoHo, housing stock is limited, especially new development. SoHo proper is bounded by Houston, Canal, Lafayette and Sixth Avenue. It is a neighborhood that has strict height restrictions and a lot of landmarked buildings. Therefore, new developments in SoHo tend to be boutique in nature and are few and far between. Because of this constraint, the city has seen West SoHo, which is now also called Hudson Square, seen a rapid expansion into a residential district from an industrial/office district. Development fans out even further to Nolita, NoHo, and Lower East Side, to some extent. By moving away from the core of SoHo, some developers have been able to build larger buildings with many more amenities.

West SoHo is a quieter area than SoHo, although rapidly changing after some zoning rule changes. It lies to the west of Sixth Avenue to the Hudson River. The neighborhood’s character is a bit of mix of SoHo and Tribeca, which is due south. West SoHo is home to a lot of creative companies that have set up shop in the neighborhood like Saatchi and Saatchi, Edelman, SapientRazorfish, & Publicis. Busy during the day, there is a relaxed vibe in the evenings. In recent news, Google has announced it is going to take space for 8,500 employees at the new St. Johns terminal located in West Soho along the West Side Highway, which will be a boon to the neighborhood. Because you are so close to SoHo, you can be there in 5 minutes but also easily escape the crowds once they start building. From West SoHo, you can be in the West Village in minutes, which is also very charming to say the least. At the southernmost part of West SoHo bordering Tribeca, lies the Holland Tunnel, so there can be periods of traffic during rush hour.

NoLiTa (for North of Little Italy) is a tiny, charming area of only a few square blocks. The cafes, small boutiques of independent designers and burgeoning bar scene make it a destination. In addition, Nolita seems to be the epicenter of great Italian, vegetarian and organic restaurants that are not too expensive. It has some of the features of nearby neighborhoods SoHo and Little Italy, but it has a distinct charming vibe all its own. Except for the sleek 75 Kenmare, and a couple of new buildings on Bowery, there are virtually no new developments in NoLiTa

The handmade brick building will have an industrial look with a French aesthetic. It was designed by Paris-based designer Loc Anima and interior designer Sebastian Segers.

The project will have 115 condos, ranging from studio to 4-bedrooms, including interesting duplex and penthouse units. Curved glass walls maximize views. Real stone, white oak wood, glass and concrete compose the minimalist interiors.

The building was developed by Bizzi & Partners, who also developed 400 Fifth Avenue and 125 Greenwich. At the mouth of the Holland Tunnel, during rush hour, there can be lots of traffic on Varick Street, which the building faces. However, pop out the side door and walk 5 minutes East and you are on West Broadway in prime SoHo.

Amenities: It is unlike any building in SoHo or West SoHo because it has 17,000 square feet of amenities, including private gated Porte-Cochère, onsite automated parking, and 55-foot swimming pool, to name a few. You just don’t find amenity filled buildings in SoHo, as space is scarce. In addition, it’s very close to the Hudson Riverfront, which now has a lot of activities.
