Stirring the city image, buildings and the environment are indistinguishably linked. Modern architects and designers utilize their creativity to construct timeless designs that seamlessly blend in with a building’s respective neighborhoods – rather than erecting projects that do not fit within its existing surroundings. The architectural design of the luxury condominiums below is in line with NYC neighborhoods. These masterpieces feature recognizable limestone facades inspired by the Upper West Side and boast Dumbo’s prominent brick and concrete combo.
96+Broadway
The much-anticipated Upper West Side luxury condominium building 96+Broadway is developed by private real estate development and investment firm, JVP Management. The 23-story building is designed by NYC-based Danish designer Thomas Juul-Hansen. Drawing inspiration from the grandeur of the Upper West Side’s most prominent buildings, its double-height entry is framed in bronze and limestone and protected by an elegant setback. In a modern expression of classical architecture, Thomas Juul-Hansen has designed 96+Broadway’s façade with expansive windows encased in bronze trim and silver-grey limestone. The double-height lobby combines the iconic materials and exquisite proportions of historic Upper West Side architecture.
Front & York
Designed inside and out by celebrated architect Morris Adjmi, Front & York pays homage to the DUMBO neighborhood, with elements inspired by the surrounding warehouse architecture, Belgian block streets and iconic spandrels of the nearby Manhattan Bridge. Its highly detailed, hand-laid brick façade is made of 1.2 million custom-made Glen-Gery bricks in a distinct color that reflects the hue of the surrounding streets. The façade of the two 21-story residential towers is topped with a scalloped, custom-molded concrete superframe crafted in New York’s Hudson Valley, and their base features signature arches inspired by the nearby Manhattan Bridge.
222 East Broadway
222 East Broadway is a new luxury tower and renovated landmarked loft building by New York-based architectural firm SLCE Architects. Envisioned as a “vertical village”, its exterior facade was created by acclaimed architectural design studio S4 Architecture. Inspired by the neighborhood, the building matches the historic surroundings on the Lower East Side. Designed by the award-winning Paris Forino, 222 East Broadway’s loft residences feature interiors that are also reminiscent of historic New York, including classic layouts and custom details. These homes boast tall ceilings, herringbone flooring and timeless marble surfaces that complement the building’s historic facade.
The Edison Gramercy
The Edison Gramercy is a brand new 13-story 54-unit building located in the heart of Gramercy at the corner of 21st street & 2nd Avenue. The building’s elegant architecture by Issac & Stern Architects was inspired by the European charm of Gramercy Park as well as the entire Gramercy neighborhood. The exterior showcases a timeless hand-laid Limestone facade that surrounds oversized windows with many almost 10 feet in height, a striking Mansard crown, customized decorative metal accents, and a cascade of landscaped gardens. Many of the homes at The Edison Gramercy also offer Juliette balconies finished with decorative window surrounds and iron railings.
