March
Disgraced former politician Anthony Weiner may be on the lookout for a new place to live after his wife, Huma Abedin, announced their separation following his latest sexting scandal.
Mr. Weiner, who will no doubt want to keep a low profile and stay out of the public eye and away from the paparazzi’s glaring cameras, may want to check out one of a myriad of new buildings where developers have taken privacy to the next level.
Many developers are including the likes of porte-cochères, secured entrances, private elevator banks, and additional levels of staff and cameras so that high net worth buyers (or those more scandal-plagued like Mr. Weiner) will never have to step onto the sidewalk outside their building, or go through their apartment lobby.
Here’s our round-up of some under construction in both Manhattan and Miami:
On the market:252 East 57th Street, Manhattan
Williams New York
At World Wide Group’s newest building 252 East 57th Street, there will be a gated porte-cochère that achieves a notable level of privacy, as residents will be able to drive straight into it and enter the building without ever being outside. Another bonus is that within the porte-cochère is the largest automated parking garage in New York with four electric car charging stations. The first residents will move into the building in October.
Porsche Design Tower, Miami
Metrostudio.com
When it opens in September, not only will the 56-story tower in Sunny Isles Beach be one of the world’s first condominiums where elevators take residents directly to their private apartments while sitting in their cars, it will also have a private residents-only restaurant. Another private perk: 10-by-15-foot individual plunge pools on almost all of its balconies–a first in Miami.
One Thousand Museum, Miami
Catapult 13 Creative Studios
This Zaha Hadid-designed tower, set to be completed late next year, has a 24/7 security program focused not just on residents, but also on their guests and personal property. A security consulting firm has worked closely with the developer to address matters ranging from the structure of the building to sophisticated surveillance systems and appropriate security personnel. There is also a bank-quality vault containing an individual safe deposit box for every residence.
1 Great Jones Alley, Manhattan
March
A unique and standout feature of 1 Great Jones Alley, a boutique condo in NoHo that is due for completion late next year, is the main residential entrance discreetly tucked away at the end of Great Jones Alley, a historic Belgian block alleyway. Residents will enter a gate and head down the alley to the building’s attended lobby, away from the public eye.
One River Point, Miami
Kar Properties
Having seen a rise in demand for the tightest security, One River Point–Rafael Vinoly’s Miami debut on the Miami River–incorporated a multi-level, biometric security program. The cutting-edge biometric identification software will take residents to their specific floors after scanning their faces. The building will also have a 24-hour security room and an on-site vault for residents’ art and valuables.
