New Rudin Condos on Sale in November

Has that extra few million dollars been burning a hole in your pocket? Luckilly, aspiring village dwellers with the prerequisite fortune will have the opportunity in November to purchase a brand new condo. The Rudin Family announced that it will be opening sales of their green, prewar condominiums in Greenwich Village. Stribling Marketing Associates, the exclusive sales and marketing agent for the building, has priced the condos between $1.395 million and $12.875 million.

The 42-unit building combines prewar architecture with modern green technologies. "It's unlike anything else on the market today," Samantha Rudin told realdeal.com. "The ability to reside in a Greenwich Village pre-war building with both my family's high level of service and the newest green technologies appeals to homebuyers."

The Rudin family is seeking a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification for the building. The certification is a rating system that promotes sustainable development in both commercial and residential buildings. To achieve this certification the condo has an environmentally landscaped terrace and bicycle storage. Beyond its green initiative, the building boasts an in-house fitness center and full time staff of doormen.

The condo, located at 130 West 12th Street, is not the only building the Rudin family will be opening soon. They are planning an $800 million redevelopment of St. Vincent's Hospital. The family plans to demolish the Coleman and Link buildings and replace them with a high-rise apartment tower on 7th Ave., a mid-rise building on 12th St., and five townhouses on 11th St. The development will include 450 luxury condos in total as well as a community health center and emergency department on the west side of 7th Ave.

The 130 12th Street condos are expected to close in spring 2012, so if you are in the market for a new condo, you'd better get a move on.
