While the website for 1501 Greenwich isn’t officially live (“the home page isn’t up yet, and the guestbook signup is broken”), a plugged-in reader finds the floor plans for the one, two, and three bedroom condos. If interested, you might want to get ’em while you can.
UPDATE: As a reader finds out, we really weren’t kidding about getting them while you can (we figure your window was about 20 minutes from when we first published the story to when they pulled the pages). For now you’ll just have to settle for the three-bedroom plan above. Oh, and the two-bedroom plan below:
UPDATE: And thanks to the cache of another plugged-in reader, we’re now three for three (at least on the floor plans):
∙ 1501 Greenwich: Floor plans [1501greenwich.com]
∙ 1501 Greenwich: Twenty-Nine New Condominiums Coming Soon [SocketSite]
Looks like their whole website is down now.
perhaps the website been socketsited?
Does anyone agree with me that the powder room in the 3bed is redundant. Also, the living/dining combo in the 2 bed seems to be a tight fit.
The powder room does seem redundant but it’s nice for when you have guests over to use the powder room instead of the bathroom. I know I don’t like guests using my bathrooms that’s why I have an extra bath that is just a powder room.
I like the extra powder room for the same reasons as Gavin. What I’m struggling with is an entrance that dumps people directly into the main part of the living room. Sitting in front of the fire might feel like sitting in an entry way. It also seems strange that the coat closet is placed so far away from the front door.
What about the most obvious flaw of all – the master bath in both the three-bedroom and the two-bedroom is a tiny cramped room with only one sink – looks like something from the 1950’s or 60’s!
Right, the major negative is the master baths. I understand the 2nd baths are usually smaller, but a master that cramp with one sink shouldn’t even be called a ‘master bath’.
Also, the 2 bedroom master suite doesn’t have a walk-in closet. That’s a definite no no.
As an aside, where the heck did this fascination with bathrooms come from? Just about every new unit or remodel I see has a MB that is almost as big as the bedroom, with multiple sinks, showers, toilet/bidet combos, etc. Seems like a waste (npi) to devote so much space to such a minor part of the day’s activities. Or is it really that important that you can shave while your SO is on the can?
why all the negativity about this project? It has taken a real beating on this site and its a great building in my opinion.
In answer to the prior posting – you’re right, some master baths have taken on a life of their own. But STILL, look at the floor plans above – the bathrooms here are TINY. The same or smaller than those you would find in any small apartment. Not even room for a second person to walk in the room without saying “excuse me” to the first person. That’s swinging the pendulum way too far the other way.
“Not even room for a second person to walk in the room without saying “excuse me” to the first person”
I can’t think of any reason for 2 people to be in the bathroom at the same time, especially when there is more than 1 bathroom. I personally would rather have the space else where. I shit, piss, shower and shave in less than 30 mintues every day.
Spencer, look it simply isn’t a “master bath” no matter how you cut it. It’s not a question of whether it’s usable – of course it is – it’s a question of why someone would design it that way when you are trying to attract buyers to pay $1M plus for the unit.
If a married couple and kids lived in the unit, it simply wouldn’t work.
Who cares about the bathroom interiors…you’re living in the Embassy Suites on Van Ness next to a Union 76 station and a vacant Christmas Tree lot!!
These bathrooms are not functional, especially if you’re a married couple or have a teen. I’m married and seems my wife lives in the bathroom. These would definitely not work for us.
Look at the 2 bedroom unit. The master bath is sooo small that you can only open it halfway before it hits the tub. If you’re sitting on the toilet and someone opens the door, it’ll hit your knees. And you can’t even use the sink without locking the door because if someone opens it, it may knock on the floor!
I’m sure these units will be around a million dollars. For that amount of money, I’d expect to have a functional bathroom…
I am not sure why everyone is obsessing with the Bathroom. I mean a normal male would spend less than 5% of his waking time in the bathroom, yet it seems to be the most important place that most of the reader in this post are focusing on.
Wouldn’t you rather be wondering about the sizes of the bedrooms and the lack of closets ? DUH !
“I am not sure why everyone is obsessing with the Bathroom. I mean a normal male would spend less than 5% of his waking time in the bathroom, yet it seems to be the most important place that most of the reader in this post are focusing on.”
Hmmmmm, well Chad 50% of the population are female, and I know from experience of having 3 sisters, wife, cousins, that they can and do spend hours a day in the bathroom. So for them a bathroom is very important to them.
And is it being too picky to have a bathroom that’s large enough that a door can open while a person is sitting on the toilet? I personally have never seen a bathroom that small…
Also, I would be concern when it comes to resale. A small bathroom can adversely affect the value of a property…
“I know from experience of having 3 sisters, wife, cousins, that they can and do spend hours a day in the bathroom”.
Sounds like a “matriarchal” upbringing…
That explains why you would be obsessing w. the bathroom.
But for majority of us men out in the world, we could care less if the bathroom has 20 mirrors and is bigger than the bedroom !
