New Developments
Tuesday, December 1st, 2009Harrison Condominium
Fantastic building design. The Harrison is actually 2 towers built on a large lot stretching the length of Amsterdam from 76th-77th Street and a fair portion of both blocks half way to Broadway. One building on the corner of 76 and Amsterdam, home of the Amsterdam Inn refused to sell to make way for the development, but this actually turns into an unexpected plus. By virtue of the fact that they split the development into 2 towers, open space in front of the towers is far more generous than would be the case if they filled the entire block with one large building. The benefit is that many apartments in the middle floors that wont have the world’s greatest views still have open space and light that wouldn’t be the case if it was built filling the entire block.
