Sales have begun for the exceptional one-, two- and three-level residences -- many of which boast 22-foot ceiling heights, according to Atlantic Walk Vestry, developers of The Fairchild. Prices range from $1.965 million to $8.995 million for the two-, three- and four-bedroom residences featuring up to 3-1/2 baths and from 1,350 to 3,500 square feet of living space -- including three oversized triplex townhomes with private street-level entrances. Buyers can also combine homes to create up to 10,000 square-foot custom residences. Select homes also feature spacious terraces and outdoor patio space.

"The Fairchild combines the great style of a classic New York building with one of the City's most fashionable neighborhoods," says Gerard Longo, a principal of Atlantic Walk Vestry. "Each home is a true New York original, and the neighborhood itself offers a dynamic array of shopping, entertainment, and dining unique only to TriBeCa."

While the architectural design of The Fairchild reflects the industrial age of the 19th century, authenticated by a traditional red brick facade and oversized arched windows, The Fairchild is a newly-constructed building and will feature all of the comforts of 21st-century living.

Located on a landmark site which was formerly occupied by Fairchild Foster, a pharmaceutical company in business at the beginning of the 19th century, The Fairchild is being built under the supervision of the Landmarks Preservation Commission to ensure the historic character of the neighborhood is respected and preserved.

Dramatic interior designs feature direct elevator access to each home, expansive arched windows and Smart Home technology systems. Poggenpohl Kitchens boast polished Caesarstone countertops and backsplashes, 36" Sub-Zero refrigerators plus additional under-counter refrigerators, a built-in Wolf oven and cook top, a Miele integrated dishwasher, and a stainless steel Sub-Zero wine cooler. Lavish master baths feature honed travertine walls, polished Calacatta gold accented floors and fixtures by Toto and Lakkista, while secondary baths boast stacked Botticino marble stone accented walls, marble floors, and limestone showers.

"These extraordinary living spaces are ideal for families or anybody who desires a residence with an exceptional layout," notes Jacqueline Urgo, President of The Marketing Directors, Inc., The Fairchild's marketing and exclusive sales agent. "Every detail has been carefully thought-out to produce the ultimate urban living experience."

Residents will also appreciate The Fairchild's 24-hour doorman and personal concierge, dedicated storage space, and a refrigerated storage area, as well as its proximity to top-tier schools, renowned art galleries and gourmet eateries.
