Global Holdings, the esteemed international real estate development and investment firm founded and led by Eyal Ofer, announced the highly-anticipated launch of leasing at its newest luxury rental property, Anagram Columbus Circle. This extraordinary 26-story residential tower, situated just steps away from Central Park, sets a new standard for elevated living, rivaling its prestigious Billionaires’ Row neighbors.
Global Holdings has long been a trailblazer in New York City’s luxury residential development landscape, with iconic projects such as 15 Central Park West, The Greenwich Lane, 520 Park, and under their belt.
Positioned at the corner of West 60th Street and Broadway, this magnificent 340-foot tall tower was expertly designed by the renowned New York architecture and design firm INC Architecture & Design, serving as the Design Architect and Interior Designer, with SLCE as the Architect of Record. Originally a mixed-use commercial property owned and managed by Global Holdings, the decision to construct a brand-new building from scratch offered the advantage of complete control over the design.
Anagram Columbus Circle is the second property within the Anagram brand, which takes a distinctive approach to luxury rental housing, emphasizing world-class design, unparalleled lifestyle amenities, and strong connections to the surrounding neighborhoods. Global Holdings plans to thoughtfully expand the Anagram concept to other select New York City neighborhoods, enhancing the brand’s presence.
The architectural vision behind the building’s façade focused on preserving texture, warmth, and life while drawing inspiration from the iconic views of Columbus Circle and Central Park, as well as Broadway’s defining diagonal geometry. A graceful curve was incorporated to soften the impact of Broadway where it meets Columbus Circle and West 60th Street, allowing for a more elegant entrance on the quieter side street (West 60th St). This architectural expression gracefully transitions to Anagram Columbus Circle’s interiors, beautifully reflected in the lobby and half-rounded kitchen islands in the homes.
The residences at Anagram Columbus Circle present a diverse range of living options, spanning from studios to expansive four-bedroom apartments. Crowning the top of the building, three pristine penthouse homes offer a truly exclusive experience. Some select residences boast private terraces or balconies, capitalizing on the property’s proximity to Central Park and catering to the demand for private outdoor spaces among today’s renters. The interiors exude warmth and sophistication, featuring cerused white oak flooring, silver pewter metals, and terrazzo finishes.
Abundant natural light streams through seven-foot windows, seamlessly blending the indoors with the outdoors. The kitchens were thoughtfully designed for both convenience and functionality, featuring Caesarstone countertops, Italian cabinetry, Bosch and Wolf appliances, and wine cabinets that accommodate up to 28 bottles in select apartments. Each home includes Bosch or L washer and dryer units, spacious walk-in closets, and spa-like bathrooms adorned with alcove tubs and terrazzo tiles.
As Anagram Columbus Circle approaches its summer completion, we invite you to get a sneak peek inside the property through a full floor of model residences beautifully appointed by the esteemed interior design firm, The Setting.
To ensure an unparalleled lifestyle experience that aligns with Anagram Columbus Circle’s hyper-local focus and elevated luxury, Global Holdings once again partnered with INC to design a curated selection of communal spaces designed to cater to residents of all ages and backgrounds. The extensive amenity package spans an impressive 13,000 square feet across three levels of indoor and outdoor space. Some of the standout amenities include:
- The Top: A communal rooftop lounge where all residents can enjoy breathtaking views of the cityscape and Central Park. The space features a fully equipped indoor kitchen and lounge area, along with an expansive outdoor terrace adorned with grill stations and a lounge area complete with sun loungers.
- The Clubhouse & Conservatory: This area boasts a robust bar, a conference room equipped with video conferencing capabilities, and unique, stylized phone booths that offer privacy when needed. An adjacent communal garden space creates a serene, zen-like atmosphere, bringing the outdoors inside and providing ample seating, along with a resident herb garden.
- The Rec Room: Located below the lobby, this thoughtfully designed amenity offers an array of educational, leisure, and fitness offerings. An expansive central lounge area features viewing sections, billiards, and a bar, surrounded by adjacent rooms, including a Multisport Simulator, a Teen Lounge and Arcade, a STEM-inspired study area with a podcast station, a Music Room with performance capabilities, a Central Park-inspired Kit Room, and a Zoo-themed children’s playroom adorned with a custom mural.
Additional amenities and services further elevate the living experience at Anagram Columbus Circle, including a 24/7 attended lobby, a comprehensive building app for convenience and communication, secure bike storage, storage lockers, a commercial laundry room, and a pet spa. A dedicated lifestyle manager will be available to support residents with their day-to-day needs, offering a range of programming and events within the building. Additionally, the ground floor will house 20,000 square feet of curated retail tenants, enhancing the living experience for residents and contributing to the allure of the surrounding neighborhood.
