Description
The Powerhouse was interestingly transformed from the Pennsylvania Railroad Power Station designed by McKim, Mead & White, built in 1909 to provide electricity for trains, and closed in 1920, but original details such as steel beams still abound. The fabulous residential conversion was brought to life by architect Karl Fischer, with interior design by Andres Escobar. Residents enjoy an incredible assortment of services and amenities, including a stunning modern lobby, doorman & concierge services, a live-in super, state-of-the-art fitness center, Aqua Grotto spa with a whirlpool, sauna, steam & massage rooms + lockers, event/party room, game room with pool table, full-service garage, business center, lounge, bike storage, and a wonderful rooftop deck with city views, a sunbathing deck, BBQ grills & picnic tables.
Located near Gantry Plaza State Park, a 12-acre riverside oasis offering gorgeous views of the Midtown Manhattan skyline as well as playgrounds, playing fields, outdoor concerts, and a dog park (yes, pets are allowed at The Powerhouse!). Food choices abound from riverfront spots like Shi and Maiella, to eateries all along the newly hip Vernon Boulevard. Also minutes away is an assortment of transportation, like the Vernon/Jackson 7 train two blocks away that’s just one stop from Grand Central, the Water Taxi, and 495 to the Midtown Tunnel.
