Envy Apartment

ANDERSON – The developers of the Delaware Court Apartments in downtown Anderson are on track to open the facility, built in 1926, by the end of the year. The developers told the Anderson Historical & Cultural Preservation Commission on Monday that there will be a request later to install central heating and air conditioning in the building. Developer Cory Mendez said installing a centralized air conditioning system will eliminate the need for window air conditioners . He said the commission will also be asked to approve the placement of the condensers, which will include wrought iron fencing . Mendez said the developers are awaiting the final plans for the replacement of the electrical and plumbing systems. The original plans for the staircase railings and posts at the main entrance have been provided to a local millwright to make them appear as originally designed. Developer Phil Rush said the building sat vacant for seven years but was in good shape because of its origina...

“I think buyers will appreciate it,” said Mr. Korolik, who explained that the original development site , which he purchased in 2014, consisted of just three lots, meaning that he could have built a 35-story tower, at best. Air rights can be sold by a building that has not been constructed to its maximum allowable height . Those rights can be shifted around and sold, though mostly between buildings that are side by side. Photo A model of the new 130-unit condo. Credit Katherine Marks for The New York Times Mr. Korolik added, “But developers are like teachers and parents. We do a whole lot of work, but sometimes we are underappreciated.” Of course, not everybody will be able to live in the upper stories of the spire, which is designed by Rafael Viñoly Architects, a firm whose portfolio includes skyscrapers like 432 Park Avenue. But in an unusual move, every apartment is a corner unit with two exposures, which developers say will especially help residents of lower floors enjoy their f...

New photos have been released showing one of the homes inside Cast Iron House – the 135-year-old New York building that is being overhauled by Japanese architect Shigeru Ban . Ban has designed an all-new interior for the cast-iron-clad building on the corner of 67 Franklin Street, Tribeca, which was built in 1882. Once the renovation is complete, the building will contain 11 duplex apartments and two penthouses. A show home was completed inside the building in late 2016 – although a full set of photos has only just emerged. Styled by interior designer Brad Ford, residence 6A features vintage furnishings and neutral tones that are intended to suit the double- height living spaces designed  by Ban.

The  Cast Iron House project is led by developer Knightsbridge Properties. Ban's vision...
