The residences will not only offer world-class living, but direct access to an upscale urban retail and dining environment,” says Manuel Grosskopf, Château Group president. The 12-story building features 58 flow-through residences ranging from 3,325 to over 7,000 square feet, with three to five bedrooms and priced from $6 million to $25 million. All feature east-to-west exposures, terraces, spacious living quarters and master suites. Only a few residences remain for sale. fendichateauresidences.com
