Gotham Organization announced its newest residental project – Inkwell in the heart of Manhattan’s bustling Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood at 520 West 45th Street. (Gotham Organization is a New York City-based real estate development firm)
The 5-story, pre-war brick building features an exclusive collection of 18 residences and is the first New York City condominium project designed by AvroKO. Housed in the former PS51 elementary school, the Inkwell condominium re-contextualizes the turn-of-the-century architecture by taking inspiration from the building’s history and injecting it with luxurious modern touches.

The 18 apartments feature custom door frames and transoms complete with brass knobs and full-height library ladders on rails that operate along slides to reach ceiling-height custom cabinetry. Blackboards are present in the kitchen and powder room and AvroKO-designed custom lighting and furniture are found throughout, including the residents’ mailboxes in the lobby, a custom caged light-fixture in the gym, entry closets in each apartment with extra storage compartments, and bespoke light fixtures in the kitchens and bathrooms.
All residences feature 13’-0” ceilings in living and bedroom spaces and 11’-8” ceiling in secondary spaces, along with oversized windows and black walnut floors. The residences also include stainless Viking professional appliances and Bosch compact washer and condensation dryers. The kitchens feature soapstone countertops with marble backsplash which are also included in all bathrooms. Select residences include gas fireplaces.
The building amenities include a gym with an outdoor lounge, and bike and tenant storage. The project is slated for completion in the fall of 2016.
