Located at 318 West 52nd Street, The Sorting House is a new condominium with a very unique story and design. The building stands a total of five stories tall, with thirty homes spread out over the top three stories.
History
Although The Sorting House is a new-construction condominium, it actually has a history that dates back to 1926. One of the features that makes this building a truly unique place to call home is the 3 stories of residences are constructed on top of a post office that was built all the way back in 1926. That heritage inspired the building’s name, as well as much of its design.
Architecture
The building’s heritage and the desire to provide a flexible lifestyle were the two key drivers of The Sorting House’s design. The building’s exterior is defined by an appealing mix of preserved red brick, mullioned windows and brickwork casement windows. The building’s new residential entry was expertly designed to tie all of the other elements together.
