Condominium Residences
and Townhouses
Superior Ink
Amidst the tree-lined, cobblestone streets of the coveted
West Village, on one of the last riverfront locations along
the Hudson, Superior Ink is a new 17-story luxury waterfront
condominium tower with 68 expansive residences located at
400 West 12th Street, and seven one-of-a-kind townhouses
lining Bethune Street.
World renowned Robert A.M. Stern
Architects LLP has designed Superior Ink
with a harmonious blend of architectural
history and an eye toward the future.
Elegant and innovative, the contemporary
interiors are curated by Yabu Pushelberg
with an ubiquitous attention to detail.
The condominium tower and townhouses
are registered with the U.S. Green
Building Council with anticipated LEED
Silver Certification.
Building on a Superior Legacy
Located on the site of the former Superior Ink factory
that was built in 1919, the new brick-and-stone luxury
condominium tower and townhouses embrace the rich
architectural legacy of the Village, layered with history
to form the backdrop for one of New York’s quietest,
yet vibrant neighborhoods.
A West Village Address
Long a home to artists, writers and
thinkers — and still as familiar in feel as
the village it was more than a century
ago — today’s West Village boasts many
of the city’s most famed bistros and
boutiques, as well as gourmet grocery
shopping, pristine neighborhood parks
and highly-regarded schools.
Residences on West 12th Street
Only steps away from the wide expanse of Hudson River Park,
the 68 expansive condominium residences feature breathtaking
views of the river and Manhattan’s skyline.
Upon entering Superior Ink’s loft-height
lobby on West 12th, you will encounter
a serene, sophisticated environment
infused with the unique sensibility of
Yabu Pushelberg, an award-winning design
firm. Striking works of art — alongside a
sculptural floating pool — embellish the
lobby’s play of textures, which include
exotic wood and stone, and elegant brushed
bronze metal screens. The interiors of
the tower residences are finished with a
warm, natural aesthetic. In the context of
the tower’s classic architecture, the simple
beauty of its interiors embodies the very
best of past and present eras, forging a
synthesis that is at the core of Superior Ink.

Townhouses on Bethune Street
Lining Bethune Street are seven one-of-a-kind townhouses
designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects, LLP. Their
architecture pays homage to the storied and graceful
vernacular of the West Village, while the interiors offer
a choice between Robert A.M. Stern Architects’ classic
townhouse grandeur or a contemporary, innovative
interpretation by Yabu Pushelberg.
