35% of Chartwell House Condos Sold Before Next Year's Opening

NEW YORK CITY-Now being built at 1760 Second Ave. between 91st and 92nd Streets, more than 35% of the condominiums at Chartwell House have been sold. The plan of the 154-unit, 32-story building has been declared effective by the attorney general of New York. The state requires that 15% of residences be sold within a year and a half after they are put on the market. That goal was met within 12 weeks. Occupancy is slated for next summer.

Named after the residence of Winston Churchill, the property is being marketed with ads featuring a bulldog, a figure long associated with the former British prime minister. The canine image is also intended to let prospective buyers know that Chartwell is a pet-friendly building.

A joint venture partnership of Capital Real Estate and Fisher Brothers, the majority of the residences will be one bedrooms, with the remainder studios, and two- and three-bedroom apartments. The top floor will be a penthouse with a private terrace. Prices range from $295,000 to $1 million.

Amenities will include a fitness center, a resident’s drawing room, a children’s playroom and a landscaped sundeck.
