BUSINESS NEWS WITKOFF’S 150 CHARLES STREET WINS PROFESSIONAL DESIGN AWARD FROM THE SOCIETY OF AMERICAN REGISTERED ARCHITECTS – NEW YORK COUNCIL Witkoff announceed that 150 Charles Street, its 338,000 square foot LEED Gold-certified luxury condominium building located in the West Village neighborhood of Manhattan, was awarded a 2017 Professional Design Award from the Society of American Registered Architects – New York Council. The property was selected for its impressively- designed 30,000 square feet of landscaped space that spans over eight floors through expansive rooftops, public and private terraces, and intimate courtyards. The landscapes at 150 Charles Street, which were designed by New York-based internationally recognized and award-winning landscape architecture firm, Dirtworks Landscape Architecture, PC , provide a vibrant backdrop for residents and the surrounding community, and are an example of resilient design capable of thriving in an inhospitable urban environment. The landscape concept is based on using a range of native northeastern ecological communities that respond to a gradation of sun, wind, and soil conditions at every level of the property and represents a new paradigm of urban residential development. “The vibrant landscapes at 150 Charles Street reflect the commitment we made to extend the upscale, urban design of the property well beyond the interior of each residential unit,” said Steve Witkoff, chairman and CEO of Witkoff. “Dirtworks played a vital role in these efforts, and we are very appreciative to SARA NY for recognizing the extent of time and detail that went into creating these truly innovative landscaped spaces.” The SARA NY Professional Design Awards is one of the premier industry competitions open to architectural professionals and students in the Greater New York City Metropolitan Area. The purpose of the competition is to give professional recognition and encourage client participation in achieving excellence in design. Winners are selected for meritorious design by an awards’ jury of professionals in the architectural and related fields. David Kamp, FASLA, principal in charge of Dirtworks, stated, “150 Charles represents a new paradigm of urban residential development

4)People are inherently lazy. My old business partner, Fred White – a super hard-work- ing fellow – used to say “smart people are lazy.” This leads one to understand why so many don’t want to do. Doing is hard work – and that’s to be avoided! Bottom line: We need more doers. The overhead of non-doers will crush us if we aren’t careful!
