Check out a few construction progress photos we snapped over the holiday weekend of Handel Architects' 200 West 72nd Street, which is slated to bring 196 luxury green rental apartments to the Upper West Side later on this year. The $200 million, 19-story project is seeking LEED Silver certification and will also feature 48,000 square feet of retail space across the tower's lower five floors, (17,000 of which is still available). Back in 2005, local preservationists failed in their efforts to landmark the Henry Kilburn-designed Colonial Club, which dated from 1892 and formerly occupied the site. You can get a pretty good flavor of what 200 West, as developer the Gotham Organization has dubbed the building, will look like from the construction photos below, including the tower's obtuse angular geometry and 22-foot glass storefronts.
