Superior Ink is Robert A.M. Stern's contextual Far West Village trophy commission for Related Companies, built on the former Superior Ink factory site with Yabu Pushelberg interiors.

Few 2009-era projects assembled a team this institutional: the Stern / Related / Yabu Pushelberg pairing of starchitect, developer, and interior designer set the building's pedigree from the start. Their contextual red-brick architecture answers directly to the industrial heritage of the Far West Village rather than imposing on it. And the program spans both trophy formats at once — 62-75 condominium residences alongside 7 Bethune Street townhouses, vertical and horizontal living under one development.

Facade safety — Local Law 11

What this means for you

Safe to live in today — but the last inspection flagged repairs that are due on a deadline, so facade work and its cost are coming. Whether that’s a real concern depends on the scope, the timing, and how the building plans to pay for it — reserves or an assessment — which is exactly what we’d dig into for you.
