September 28th, 2011 Filed Under: MiMA - 450-460 West 42nd Street, Midtown West Apartments, Midtown West, Midtown Apartments

The creator of Time Warner Center, The Caledonia, and Superior Ink, has successfully launched another Manhattan urban destination. MiMA, a 63-story glass tower located at 450 West 42nd Street between 9th and 10th Avenues, joins Related Companies impeccable roster of residential dwellings.

Following the successful launch of the building’s spring and summer inventory, including residences up to the 41st floor, which are nearly fully leased, Related is proud to introduce its fall inventory, with homes on floors 42 to 50. The residences on MiMA’s uppermost floors offer 360 degree views that are truly awe-inspiring. To the south, residents cannot only see the tip of Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty, but the Atlantic Ocean. Views to the north include the George Washington Bridge, Central Park, and the Time Warner Center itself.

“This past summer we saw an accelerated rate of leasing in the lower portion of the building, with a very strong demand for high-end rental homes,” said Daria Salusbury, Senior Vice President of Related, who leads the company’s luxury residential leasing operations. “MiMA’s unprecedented amenity package, unrivaled views, superior services, inspired architecture and contemporary design has really resonated with a value-driven marketplace and resulted in our ability to command rents at over $75 per square foot. MiMA has been enthusiastically embraced by residents who continue to be drawn to MiMA’s over an acre of amenities and the full lifestyle experience it offers, and we expect to continue exceeding expectations with the leasing of our fall inventory.”

Named after its location in the middle of Manhattan, MiMA features M Club, a sprawling 44,000 square feet of health, recreation and entertainment amenities. In addition to the city’s first resident-only, onsite Equinox fitness club, the building offers a full court basketball court and a 60-foot glass enclosed lap pool. Another first is Dog City, a full service grooming and day care center for pets. The residents-only professionally staffed pet spa with indoor and outdoor play areas offers grooming and training facilities, in-home feeding, walking services, scheduled play dates, and more.

In all there are three lushly landscaped outdoor terraces with private dining pods and barbeque facilities encompassing over 14,000 square feet of outdoor space, two party rooms and catering kitchens, outdoor and indoor screening rooms, and an Internet café and business center equipped with iMac computers and a coffee bar. In addition, there is a club room and residents’ lounge with a cozy island fireplace, a fully equipped game room with billiards and card tables and electronic gaming, and bicycle and resident storage.

Related’s acclaimed commitment to service is again evidenced at MiMA and encompasses every detail that makes a residence a home. Personal assistants, a 24-hour concierge, doorman and on-site valet are just the beginning. MiMA residents have a move-in coordinator to handle every last detail from choosing the best moving service to handling utility and technology set-up. Renters can utilize electronic payment or pay their rent via credit cards and earn valuable rewards.

MiMA is also home to the Signature Center, which, when it opens next spring, will offer three Frank Gehry-designed theaters for Off-Broadway productions. Besides the more than 650 homes, MiMA is bringing to the block YOTEL New York, an innovative hotel designed by David Rockwell and SoftRoom, and several top-flight retail outlets to the emerging neighborhood. MiMA is also within a short walking distance of the N,Q,R,1,2,3,7,A,C and E subway lines.

“The response to The Continental, from renters and the real estate community alike, has been tremendous,” said Cliff Finn, managing director of new development marketing for Citi Habitats Marketing Group, the exclusive marketing and leasing agent for The Continental. “We are thrilled with The Continental’s success thus far, especially considering it was achieved through the drudges of this winter’s awful weather. We could not have accomplished this without the project’s quality construction and pristine amenities, including the only pool on the Sixth Avenue Corridor, as well as its convenient and increasingly dynamic location.”

The Continental is comprised of studio, one-bedroom, one-bedroom with home office, and two-bedroom apartments starting on the ninth floor. The building’s lobby, 15,000 sq. ft. amenity space and garage, in addition to premier retail space may be found on the lower floors.

Tenants have access to the exclusive American Leisure-managed Continental Club & Spa, featuring a 50-foot indoor infinity-edge lap swimming pool with heated hydrotherapy spa, set within a double-height, glass-enclosed atrium with lounge chairs. A health club with a fitness and cardio center, yoga studio, his-and-hers locker rooms and his-and-hers treatment rooms, is also available.

The Club’s lounge with fireplace opens onto a landscaped terrace with seating and dining areas, and there is a fully equipped catering kitchen for residents to easily host private social events. The Wi-Fi-enabled space also features a gaming lounge with billiards and LCD displays. In addition to the entertainment lounge, there is a 48th floor skydeck furnished with lounge chairs. Other amenities include a full-service Abigail Michaels concierge, valet and on-site parking, 24-hour doormen, BuildingLink, and bicycle storage.

The Costas Kondylis-designed tower has a state-of-the-art lobby featuring exclusively designed custom furnishings by Capri Furniture, Christopher Guy and J. Robert Scott. Residences boast floor-to-ceiling tinted windows, ceilings as high as eleven-and-a-half feet, white oak flooring throughout and washers and dryers in every unit.

Kitchens have Florenza porcelain tile flooring, wood-grain cabinetry with stainless steel hardware, concealed full-extension silent self-closing drawers and quartz countertops and backsplashes. The stainless steel appliance suite includes a gas-range stove, microwave and dishwasher and Fisher Paykel refrigerator with in-door water dispenser.

Baths at The Continental offer Verdana porcelain tile floors, polished marble vanity countertops, recessed medicine cabinets with mirrored doors, Kohler bathtubs and polished chrome fixtures by Moen to create a clean spa-like setting.
