The Astor to Debut Three New Penthouses

On this side of the pond, The Astor, located at 235 West 75th Street on the Upper West Side, is set to debut three new penthouses atop its existing towers. One penthouse has already been claimed, along with the unit below, to create a 5,400-square-foot duplex with 2,000 square feet of outdoor space overlooking Broadway. The combination’s last asking price was $15.49 million. The other two penthouses will soon hit the market at $15 million and $10 million, reports the New York Post.

Constructed in 1901 by William Waldorf Astor, cousin of Titanic victim John Jacob Astor IV, the towers’ amenities include a gym, a concierge, and a children’s playroom.

New Renderings Filed for San Francisco Condo Tower

New renderings have been filed with the city for a new 50-story development in San Francisco’s Sunset District, reports the San Francisco Chronicle. If built, the tower would be the tallest structure in the area at greater than 580 feet tall and the 12th-tallest building in the city overall. Other buildings in the surrounding area average only two to three stories high. City officials claim the proposed tower is many times taller than what neighborhood regulations allow; however, project applicant Raelynn Hickey disputes this interpretation of the law.

These renderings mark the fourth iteration of the project, which would be located at the site of the Sloat Garden Center, across the street from the San Francisco Zoo and just blocks away from Ocean Beach. Each version of the building has grown in size, from eight stories to 12 stories and now to 50 stories. The tower would house 680 residences, with commercial space on the first few levels for retail, a fitness center, and community centers.
