The design of Bloom on Forty Fifth — the seven-story Hell’s Kitchen condominium conceived to offer residents an oasis in the heart of the city — mimics the grid of Manhattan and its anchor of a central green. While the 92-unit development features several outdoor common spaces, the second-floor courtyard at the building’s core is its marquee amenity. Visible from many units and measuring 8,000 square feet, the green space includes colorful plantings, shaded and sun-filled areas and honey locust trees. Designed by Marvel and completed in 2020, the modernist-inspired glass, steel and concrete building has two towers. Interiors blur the line between the indoors and outdoors, with large plantings, skylights and floor-to-ceiling, bronze-framed glass walls on the ground floor. A blend of marble, warm metals and stone in shared spaces provides a sophisticated element intended to evoke the geometry of the city among natural surroundings.
Units include studios to three-bedrooms. Studios start at 417 square feet and list for $637,000 to $814,000. One-bedrooms are a maximum of 777 square feet and ask $908,000 to $1.4 million. Two-bedrooms measure 957 square feet and up and are priced at about $1.6 million to $1.9 million, and three-bedrooms sell in the range of $2.5 million to $3.5 million, the largest of which measures 1,982 square feet. Homes feature open plans, floor-to-ceiling windows, and wide-plank oak flooring; some offer an outdoor space. Views include the Hudson River, New Jersey and the low-rise buildings of the surrounding neighborhood. Kitchens include Caesarstone countertops, custom cabinetry and full-height colonial silver marble backsplashes. Baths include glass tile mosaic flooring, custom, white-washed oak vanities and medicine cabinets with integrated lighting. Primary baths offer a walk-in shower clad in Danube marble, while secondary baths provide a shower with a soaking tub.
In addition to the central courtyard, amenities include two shared roof terraces with seating and outdoor kitchens. The building has a fitness center, and the resident lounge, thanks to a large skylight, is flooded with natural light. The lobby is attended 24 hours a day, and the building is pet-friendly.
