PS90: Grand Opening Celebration

by admin ~ July 13, 2010

       A transformation of a circa 1905 public school in Harlem, PS90, located at 220 West 148th street, has been redeveloped into a residential development after being vacant since the 1970s. PS90 features 75 condominium residences in a mix of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom homes ranging in size from approximately 762 - 1,630 square feet and in price from $450,000 - $899,000. The penthouses are all-new construction, and feature generously-sized private rooftop terraces, some with midtown Manhattan views. PS90’s amenities include a fitness room, attended lobby, landscaped European-style garden terrace courtyard, common lounge, work studio, media room, storage lockers and bicycle room.

       As part of the modern re-design led by architect Mark Ginsberg FAIA, LEED AP, the building’s original exterior design has been maintained and refurbished in some areas, while the entire infrastructure is being newly constructed. The building’s Gothic touches like ornate spires, intricate masonry, elaborate stonework and gargoyles are juxtaposed with the modern loft-like floor plans - making homes at PS90 as architecturally exceptional today as ever before. PS90 also features a dramatic entrance: the grand double-height lobby has a mezzanine level reading area and other architectural details reminiscent of the building’s past.

       Today, July 13, 2010 the development is hosting two exclusive events highlighting its redevelopment from a Charles B.J. Snyder designed school into a new residential condominium development in Harlem. Attendees will be able to learn about the building’s past and present with the pros during the American Institute of Architects Tour from 4-6 PM, then celebrate the unveiling of PS90’s beautiful new lobby and original art installation, both designed by Ron Norsworthy Interiors an award-winning boutique design firm which specializes in high impact interiors. From 6-8 PM drinks and hors d’oeuvres will be served on the newly landscaped terrace.
