Landsea Homes and Leyton Properties To Redevelop Upper West Side Synagogue Into 14-Story Residential Building

MANHATTAN, N.Y., Sept. 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Landsea Homes is partnering with Leyton Properties to develop a 14-story luxury residential building on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.

Plans for the boutique property include replacing the existing Shaare Zedek Synagogue at 212 West 93rd Street. The new building will comprise 20 unique, luxury condominiums, many of which will offer expansive terraces and outdoor living areas that are usually only available for penthouses. Most homes will feature private elevator access and all will offer floor-to-ceiling windows. The residences will sit above a 9,350-square-foot facility for the new synagogue.

Landsea and Leyton have put together a team of international planners, architects and designers for this unique project. Eran Chen of the world renowned firm ODA is leading the architectural design and Grade New York is the Interior Design Firm.

"With a desirable Upper West Side address near highly-regarded primary and secondary schools, numerous cultural institutions and convenient mass transportation options, we believe this location provides an exceptional opportunity to design and develop a property that will appeal to a discerning clientele. These are the fundamentals we value as we continue to expand our operations in the U.S.," said John Ho, CEO of Landsea.

According to Scott Leyton, "I began discussing the development with the Synagogue leadership back in 2014. Our vision for the property is to bring family-style homes to the Upper West Side with a cutting-edge design, and a dynamic new home for the Temple."
