Leading New York City developer Forkosh Development Group announced that sales have commenced at Hillrose28, a boutique collection of 43 condominium residences located at the corner of 28th Street and 3rd Avenue. Situated in the heart of the charming Rose Hill neighborhood, the building’s handsome Portuguese limestone facade is a contemporary interpretation of classic New York City architecture, drawing inspiration from the neighboring Empire State Building.
Rising 20-stories to approximately 200-feet, Hillrose28 offers studio-to-four-bedroom residences and a limited collection of penthouses. Global architecture firm Lemay + Escobar Architecure D.P.C. designed the gracious residential interiors and a full suite of amenities. Notably, many of the residences feature significant private outdoor space.
“We are so proud of all of the hard work that has gone into Hillrose28. The building is already proving to be popular with buyers and will be a valuable asset to the further establishment of the Rose Hill neighborhood,” said Alex Forkosh, founder of Forkosh Development.
The exterior architecture of Hillrose28, designed by New York-based design firm C3D Architecture, features oversized casement windows with charcoal gray frames that allow each home to be filled with natural light, while also showcasing incredible views of the New York City skyline.
Taking inspiration from pre-war era apartment homes, Andres Escobar, founding partner and creative director of Lemay + Escobar Architecure incorporated thoughtful designs of the past in a new light for Hillrose28. Andres Escobar has lent his expertise to some of the most high-profile residential, corporate, retail, restaurant, hospitality, and airport projects throughout the world including the Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Montreal, Charlie West in Midtown Manhattan and the Jade Hotel in the Greenwich Village, as well as the rejuvenation of Montréal-Trudeau Airport.
“Given the building is covered in a beautiful Portuguese limestone that pays homage to the neighboring Empire State Building, we immediately knew that creating a contemporary living experience that still connects to the classic New York apartments from the pre-war era was our goal on this project,” said Andres Escobar, “We were very fortunate to work with Forkosh in making this goal a reality. Hillrose28 is truly a one-of-a-kind living experience in New York City.”
With strong attention to detail, each of the 43 residences feature wide-plank white oak flooring throughout and solid wood doors by Schuco International designed in Italy, where most include magnetic door locks. Open-plan kitchens are custom-designed by Andres Escobar with Scavolini light grey stained oak cabinets and brushed nickel hardware, as well as accent cabinets with ribbed and etched glass. Kitchens also include statuary marble slab countertops and a state-of-the-art Bosch appliance package.
Master bathrooms are fully clad in Bianco Dolomite Italian marble and include custom designed stained oak vanity with polished nickel fixtures and a Toto cast-iron soaking tub. Secondary bathrooms are encompassed in Zebrino Calacatta Italian marble with a Thassos porcelain accent wall. Further details will include a white countertop and integrated sink, signature polished nickel hardware fixtures and accessories’ and a Toto wall-hung commode.
Powder rooms will feature honed Coffee Wood Italian marble, signature polished nickel hardware fixtures and accessories, and a Toto wall-hung commode.
Residences also feature the latest in energy saving technology, including LED lights throughout and a state-of-the-art HVAC and ventilation system. The exterior walls are heavily insulated along with windows designed by Schuco International to provide sound attenuation and temperature control. Uniquely, from the seventh floor to the top of the building, all elevator hallways feature large windows flooding the building with light, which also saves energy during the day.
Three expansive full-floor penthouses top the building, offering buyers a unique combination of privacy, outdoor space, and unmatched services.
Over half of the residences offer significant private outdoor space to residents, with either balconies and terraces, which feature glass railings to make outdoor space endless. All residents enjoy access to the fully equipped 2,000 square foot landscaped roof terrace, where Hillrose28 collaborated with Sarah Bedford, an artist of the contemporary art gallery Mrs. Gallery located in Queens, New York, to create a floral installation and mural on the roof terrace, which will be rotated seasonally. Bedford is also available for individual consultation with residents for an additional fee as the first-ever terrace art director for residents with private outdoor areas.
Additional entertainment and wellness amenities offered at Hillrose28 include a residents’ lounge with a fireplace, co-working table, Scavolini kitchen and wet bar; 24-hour duplex gym with bright wood flooring and natural light with dedicated weight and cardio rooms as well as Peloton bikes; commercial grade laundry facilities; and bike storage.
Hillrose28 is located on a quiet tree-lined street in the center of the Rose Hill neighborhood and close to NoMad, Murray Hill, and Gramercy. The building is steps away from the city’s premier dining, shopping, and sightseeing destinations.
Prices for the residences range from approximately just under $1 million to $9.95 million for a four-bedroom full-floor penthouse. Occupancy is anticipated for Spring 2021. For more information, please visit here. Hillrose28 is exclusively represented by Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group.
