Apartment buildings in New York are famous for their crazy luxuries. But with doormen and gyms now de rigueur, new offerings need to turn things up a notch if they want to get noticed. And to that end the new Madison Jackson building, once upon a time P.S. 12 in the LES, takes the (vegetarian) cake. Because in addition to "a 24-hour doorman, concierge, organic laundry, and alteration services" as well as
a gym offering "cranial sacral therapy," the building has its own "24-hour vegetarian organic room service." Yes, really.
Of course the building a block below the Williamsburg Bridge at 371 Madison Street isn't just about juice bars and organic laundry. There are duplex 700-1,500 square foot loft-like apartments (starting at $542,000) to sell here! But considering the building took nearly 30 years to go from school to condo, you'd think the developer would have made the actual apartments sound more appealing. If you don't mind low-ceiling sleeping lofts ("not suitable for basketball players") and cheaply finished kitchens ("to keep costs low"), this one is for you. And who needs a Viking range, anyway? You can always order a juice!
