Featuring the Artwork of Renown Artist Grace Hartigan and the Best of Downtown Living
BALTIMORE, MD -- RXR Realty, developers of The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Inner Harbor, Baltimore announces the Grand Opening of two new designer model residences featuring its vision of effortless city living and a life full of style. Residence 344 showcases the artwork of renown Baltimore Artist Grace Hartigan, on-loan from Maryland Art Place (MAP). Both Residences 344 and T-55 are designed by Brian Thim of Rita St. Clair Associates and capture the spirit of downtown living while appealing to the way of life with which many future buyers will identify.
Residence T-55 is a 2,660 square foot, two-bedroom, 2.5 bathroom, terrace home featuring incomparable harbor views from all three of its spacious terraces. Inspired by Asian and American antiques, this residence marries the personal style of its owner with dramatic new furnishings. Incorporating warm tones of red, marigold and browns, Mr. Thim has created a home that showcases the drama of its location and the comfort of its surroundings.
The second Residence 344, appeals to the professional who enjoys living downtown and recognizes the valued living at The Ritz-Carlton Residences. Featuring views of Federal Hill and the downtown skyline, this 1,560 square foot, one-bedroom, 1.5 bathroom home uses warm colors of dark purple, ruby red and brown to convey a contemporary, yet relaxed environment. Unexpected surprises are around every corner of this dramatic residence.
Both residences feature the standard amenities found only at The Ritz-Carlton Residences such as: gourmet kitchens with custom European cabinetry, granite countertops, Viking Professional Series stainless steel appliances; semi-private elevators; luxurious mater bedroom suites with large walk-in closets; Italian marble bathrooms with Kohler fixtures and whirlpool soaking tubs; and deeded underground parking spaces.
In addition, Residence 344 showcases two paintings by Grace Hartigan: The Mut Hut, 1982; and Goya, 1989. Both works were bequeathed to MAP in 2009 following the death of Ms. Hartigan. Known as an Abstract Expressionist Painter, Ms. Hartigan was a long-time Baltimore resident and director of the Hoffberger School of Painting at Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA).
³We wanted to create two new living environments with a fresh perspective on living downtown,² said Joseph Graziose, senior vice president of RXR Realty. ³Our building has residences that appeal to a wide range of buyers with a variety of attainable price points. Our new models not only feature sophisticated design, but also have great floor plans for entertaining, incredible water and Federal Hill views, along with the services and amenities of a five-star hotel at an excellent value.²
³I was inspired to design two homes that are livable and timeless,² stated Brian Thim. ³The Ritz-Carlton brand denotes luxury and my interior design brings together elements of comfort and personal style. These exciting spaces will meet the needs of today¹s busy professionals and showcase all the amenities found only at The Ritz-Carlton Residences.²
³Our ongoing partnership with MAP is one of great pride for RXR Realty,² Mr. Graziose continues. ³By showcasing the paintings in a residential setting we hope to convey not only the beauty of Hartigan¹s work, but how living with art enhances ones life.²
