Designed by star architect Bernard Tschumi, the Blue Condominium is one of New York's most recognizable monuments to modern architecture. Tschumi asserts that "architecture is not simply about space and form, but also event, action, and what happens in space." This assertion is exemplified by the Blue Condominium's location at the epicenter of New York's most exciting neighborhood. Blue is the product of a futuristic environmental consciousness, including a focus on sustainable energy and efficient materials throughout. Behind the hypnotic glass facade are spectacular open city views and sunsets that can be enjoyed through privacy-tinted floor-to-ceiling windows. Amenities include a full-time doorman and concierge, a superintendent, an 8,000 SF landscaped terrace, a bike room, and refrigerated storage. It is located 50 feet from the entrance to the F-M-J-Z trains and around the block from boutiques, art galleries, and neighborhood favorites. Please note that there is an ongoing monthly capital assessment in the amount of $ 204.71
