The first unit at
1212 Fifth Avenue is in contract,
the West 57th Street pyramid is continuing as planned and construction will begin at
855 Sixth Avenue next April, Harold Fetner, president and CEO of Durst Fetner Residential, an affiliate of the Durst Organization, said in an interview with the New York Observer.
The 1212 Fifth Avenue project,
which called for a complete gut renovation of the pre-war building at East 102nd Street, will open its accompanying sales office "any day now," Fetner said, but he's already seen interest in the apartment from 500 people on a waiting list to tour the units, and even accepted an offer last night.
