56 Leonard Street Nueva York

Una historia de excelencia

56 Leonard fue un éxito inmobiliario clásico mucho antes de que se terminara su ático final. Esta obra maestra de Herzog y de Meuron cambió el horizonte de Tribeca y la visión mundial del Bajo Manhattan. Este edificio, también conocido como el edificio Jenga de Nueva York, se levanta en unos terrenos comprados a la Facultad de Derecho de Nueva York en 2007, en la intersección de Church y Leonard. Fue terminado con el espaldarazo de Engineering News-Record, que lo nombró "el mejor de los mejores" proyectos residenciales de 2017.

Los diseñadores suizos galardonados con el premio Pritzker querían contrastar la rica historia cultural de Tribeca y sus calles adoquinadas con un sorprendente edificio de 60 plantas de hormigón y cristal en voladizo. El diseño único del edificio ha dado a 56 Leonard su silueta que define el horizonte cuando los propietarios, residentes y transeúntes miran hacia arriba. Esta innovación espacial se funde indefinidamente con la intrigante escultura de Anish Kappoor, encargada especialmente para la ocasión, que descansa junto a la entrada del vestíbulo.

A Global Landmark in Tribeca

56 Leonard Street is a new global landmark in Tribeca, designed by the renowned architectural firm Herzog & de Meuron. This 60-story tower is a vertical glass expression of sculpted surfaces, cantilevers, and sparkling glass, making it a striking addition to the downtown skyline. The building’s unique design, featuring a central core and a series of stacked houses, has earned it recognition as one of the most important buildings of the past decade. As a global landmark, 56 Leonard Street offers a luxurious living experience, with each of its 145 residences featuring private outdoor space and breathtaking views of the city.

The Cutting-Edge Architecture by Herzog and De Meuron

The 135 apartments and 10 penthouse suites have been designed to create a cascading style for the 60-story tower, giving each residence a free-flowing feel. The cantilevered design has a width-to-height ratio of 1:10.5 which results in a degree of symmetrical perfection not seen in all the modern, super-slim apartment buildings.

The cantilevers create extruded floor plates and many terraces, so every one of the apartments feels completely private and intimate, and each is complemented by its own private balcony. To quote Pierre de Meuron, one of the architects, "We could tell you the reason for every wall, every setback, every cantilever" to create a special piece of architecture that ultimately appears to melt up into the sky.

No two floors are quite the same, and the units which vary from studios to penthouses, are organized into seven zones, which is quite rare in Manhattan Real Estate

The 11 to 18 feet high glass walls (3.3 - 5.8 meters) in each residence, plus its terrace, give unprecedented views across the city to the Hudson and East Rivers, Wall Street, and Midtown. Surrounding buildings are typically historic and height-limited, but the law school's "air rights" came with the land purchase.

The interior columns create character within each home while seeming to dominate the common areas giving them a unique feel and adding to the reasons for Leonard Street becoming a symbol of the district's prestige.

Los acabados

The building features exquisite interior details designed to complete the architects’ goal of enhancing everything about a luxury lifestyle while also providing harmony and discretion. The exposed concrete in each residence has satin-edged glass with champagne shades for the sills. The glazing is insulated to control heat gain and minimize glare. Everything appears soft-toned and light-reflective.

The floors are both natural solid wood, such as Appalachian white oak, as well as travertine tile. Bathrooms have uniquely-designed fittings, walls are white marble, and the lighting is purpose-designed. The kitchen cabinets’ mirror finishes are acid-etched to give each apartment a unique look and feel. The penthouse kitchens are set off with a grand piano-shaped island, and each has a custom-sculpted hood over the range.

Greenwich Oeste

The Paris firms of Loci Anima and Sebastian Segers used the industrial architecture of western SoHo as their inspiration for this 30-story tower at 110 Charlton Street, due for completion in 2020. In doing so they created an interesting interpretation of classic New York and French architecture. The goal is to bring a "downtown" lifestyle and "uptown" amenities complemented by superb views of the Hudson.
