History

Extell Development Company acquired the first portion of the site in 2015, paying $25.8 million for a low-rise structure at 30-32 East 29th Street. Extell subsequently bought the air rights above a seven-story building at 28 East 29th Street and a six-story building at 34 East 29th Street. [2] In May 2017, the Rockefeller Group announced its intention to buy the site at 30-32 East 29th Street from Extell, as well as two adjacent buildings at 34 and 36 East 29th Street from W Brothers and Michael Aryeh, respectively. At the time, the Rockefeller Group planned to build a 170,000-square-foot (16,000 m2) condominium project on the site. [3] [4] The Rockefeller Group and its development partner, Mitsubishi Estate, submitted plans to the New York City Department of Buildings in February 2018 for a 46-story apartment building. [5] [6]

The Israeli businessman Eyal Ofer invested $52.5 million in the proposed development in October 2018, [7] [8] and Rockefeller Group received another $202.5 million loan from Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank that month. [9] [10] Plans for a 600-foot-tall (180 m) tower on the site were announced in March 2019, [11] and sales began in May 2019. [12] [13] Initially, the cheapest apartments were marketed for $1.2 million, while the most expensive condos cost $12 million. [14] By that November, the building had topped out. [15] The structure was completed in October 2021, [16] [17] and the spire was first illuminated in early 2022. [18] The building was named Rose Hill Tower, after a farm that stood in the neighborhood during the 18th century. [1] [13]

Architecture

The tower was developed by the Rockefeller Group and designed by the architecture firm CetraRuddy. [19] [20] It is the Rockefeller Group's first residential project. [1] [21] The exterior of the building is designed in the Art Deco style with Gothic Revival elements. The facade is composed of a textured antique bronze-tinted grid patterned with chevrons. [22] [1] The chevrons were also used for in the carpets and bathroom tiling of the interiors. The condos on the upper stories of the building contain balconies. [16] The pinnacle is illuminated by uplights. [14]

The building's lobby has a double-height ceiling and a black marble fireplace measuring 8 feet (2.4 m) tall. [23] Next to the lobby are two seating areas for residents, which were intended as coworking spaces. [1] The building includes a gym and a lounge, [23] [24] as well as a library and an indoor pool. [1] [21] The design of the pool was inspired by the public bathhouses of the 1930s and 1940s, and its central wall of the pool room features a mosaic tile mural with representations of the Amazon goddesses of the time period. [21] The building also includes a skydeck on the 37th floor, [21] which includes a pair of terraces, a billiards room, and a dining room. [23] [24]

The smallest apartments are studio apartments, while the largest condominiums have four bedrooms. [13] Many of the apartments have "flex spaces" that can be used for multiple purposes. [1] [20] The apartments' interior finishes include marble countertops, bronze handles and doorknobs, and wooden floors. [20] [13] [14] The apartments generally have ceilings of at least 11 feet (3.4 m), [1] The top floor includes a penthouse with three bedrooms and a private terrace. [24] When the building was nearly completed, The New York Times described the interior's design as "playing up its Jazz Age chops". [14]
