Inside, Beckford House & Tower combines authentic prewar elements (separate formal dining rooms, entry foyers and galleries, crown moldings and layouts pulled right from the playbook of Rosario Candela) with the sleek and sexy interiors Sofield is known for. The amenity spaces also reflect this aesthetic and are just as beautiful as they are unique. At Beckford Tower, there will be over 3,000 square feet of wellness amenities, including a double-height basketball half-court, fitness center, yoga and training studios, and a 65-foot indoor swimming pool.

Jardim
Tucked away in Manhattan’s West Chelsea neighborhood, Jardim is the first U.S. residential development by Isay Weinfeld, the world-renowned Brazilian architect and interior designer known for his high-end homes and Fasano Hotels around the world. The Portuguese word for garden – Jardim – is a fitting name for this plant-filled property, which boasts an ultra-private urban park that envelops the two 11-story towers that comprise the development. Weinfeld has designed spas, pools and other wellness spaces for some of the most elegant contemporary resorts in the world, including the Fasano Las Piedras in Punta del Este, Uruguay.
