Mixed Use or Apartments?--It is a Condo Building....

Always thought this was just another office building...guess it has apartments too.

Let me see if internet lists anything for 400 Fifth Avenue...what do you know it is a condo bldg.

Building: The Residences at 400 Fifth Avenue at 400 Fifth Avenue in Midtown South

2448720224487226244872482448727924487303207337702073375320733762207337772073378420733794207338042073382215364754Video
60 floor building with a total gross area of approximately 570,000 square feet. The new building contains a five star hotel, with 214 hotel rooms, including 157 guestrooms and 57 hotel/suite apartments, a gracious lobby, restaurant, bar, spa, health club, and other amenities. Topping the tower will be 190 luxurious Midtown Manhattan residential condominiums. The project is scheduled to be completed in fall 2010.
A curving façade segment, at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and West 36th Street, continues the rhythm of the windows while acknowledging the continuity of the “front” façade, which extends from the residential entrance on 36th Street to the hotel entrance on Fifth Avenue. Limestone cladding at the podium relates the new building’s materials to the rich and varied palette of stone cladding characteristic of the adjacent historic structures.
In addition to relating to the landmarked Tiffany & Company building, consideration has been given to the formal relationship to the adjoining 404 Fifth Avenue building, which is also a recently designated landmark structure.
