This new building is a 15-story building with 100 apartments at 801 Amsterdam Avenue at 100th Street. It is being designed by SCLE. Whole Foods is a major retail tenant. The building is 30 stories high, a dozen or so stories taller than the old residential buildings in the complex, and it has a garage.
When you walk onto the marble floor in the lobby of 801 Amsterdam in Columbus Square, you'll know that behind fumed oak paneling and Venetian plastered walls are your delivered groceries, waiting in a cooler. First you'll pop in to the state of the art fitness room, boxing center and yoga studio.
Whereas the balconied buildings of the original complex were typical towers-in-a-park structures of similar size and shape, the new buildings differ in height, facade treatment and color, and they have setbacks and corner windows. The new buildings have a unified architecture style on Columbus Avenue and represent another substantial transformation of that area. The new buildings on the east side of Columbus Avenue have covered walkways between them to provide easy access to the avenue from the rest of the complex to the east.
