40 Bond Street Herzog & de Meuron's Iconic NoHo Masterwork for Ian Schrager
Overview
40 Bond Street is not merely a condominium — it is an architectural landmark. Completed in 2007, the building represents the first residential project in the United States by Pritzker Prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron, commissioned by nightlife and hospitality legend Ian Schrager. The collaboration between two of the world's most boundary-pushing creative forces produced a building that permanently altered the landscape of luxury residential design in New York City.
The building's most recognizable feature is its 140-foot graffiti-inspired cast aluminum gate — a sculptural threshold between the energy of Bond Street and the tranquility within. Above, a copper and stainless steel bell-shaped facade reflects light differently at every hour, creating an ever-changing exterior that has become one of NoHo's most photographed architectural elements.
Across 11 stories, 40 Bond Street houses 33 residences — 27 condominiums, 5 townhouses, and a crown penthouse — each conceived as a total environment where architecture, interior design, and daily life merge seamlessly. For buyers who view their home as a cultural statement as much as a residence, 40 Bond Street remains the standard against which all others are measured.

Why Buyers Choose 40 Bond Street
40 Bond Street attracts buyers who understand that living inside a work by one of the world's most celebrated architectural practices is itself the ultimate luxury amenity.
Pritzker Prize-Winning Architecture
Herzog & de Meuron's first US residential project is a distinction that no other building in Manhattan can claim. The architects behind the Tate Modern and Beijing National Stadium brought that same level of ambition to 40 Bond — an architectural pedigree that appreciates over time.
The Iconic Cast Aluminum Gate
The 140-foot graffiti-inspired gate is not merely decorative — it has become one of NoHo's most recognizable architectural landmarks. Living behind it confers a cultural cachet that transcends traditional real estate value metrics.
Ian Schrager's Vision
Ian Schrager's track record — from Studio 54 to the boutique hotel revolution to architecturally-driven residential development — ensures that every element of 40 Bond was conceived with an unwavering commitment to design excellence. Buyers here invest in the vision of one of New York's most influential cultural figures.
Townhouse-Within-a-Building
The five ground-level townhouses with private street entrances and gardens offer something genuinely unavailable anywhere else in Manhattan: the independence and character of a townhouse within the security and services of a full-service condominium by a Pritzker Prize-winning firm.
Our Take on 40 Bond Street
40 Bond Street is the building we show to clients who have narrowed their search to architecture-forward residences in landmark neighborhoods. Nearly two decades after completion, it remains the definitive statement of what happens when a Pritzker Prize-winning firm and a visionary developer collaborate without constraint. The building has not merely aged well — it has gained cultural stature with each passing year.
The variety of residence types is a significant advantage. The 27 condominiums appeal to buyers seeking Herzog & de Meuron interiors with full-service convenience. The 5 townhouses — with private street entrances and gardens — attract those who want the independence of a standalone home within an architecturally significant framework. And the duplex penthouse serves as the crown offering for buyers seeking panoramic NoHo living at the highest level.
From a market standpoint, 40 Bond Street benefits from an architectural pedigree that is literally impossible to replicate. There will never be another first US residential project by Herzog & de Meuron. Combined with Ian Schrager's development vision, NoHo's landmark protections, and the building's enduring cultural relevance, this is one of downtown Manhattan's most secure long-term investments.

40 Bond Street occupies a singular position in New York City's architectural and cultural landscape. As the first residential project in the United States by Pritzker Prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron — commissioned by nightlife and hospitality legend Ian Schrager — the building is not simply a luxury condominium. It is a statement about what residential architecture can aspire to become when the world's most ambitious creative minds collaborate without compromise.
The building's visual language is immediately recognizable. The 140-foot graffiti-inspired cast aluminum gate at street level has become one of NoHo's most iconic elements — a boundary between the bohemian energy of Bond Street and the curated tranquility within. Above, the copper and stainless steel bell-shaped facade reflects Manhattan's ever-changing light, ensuring that 40 Bond never looks the same twice. These are not decorative flourishes; they are integral architectural ideas that elevate the entire experience of living here.
Inside, the 33 residences — 27 condominiums, 5 townhouses with private gardens and street entrances, and a duplex penthouse — reflect Herzog & de Meuron's signature palette of poured concrete, warm wood, and expansive glass. The townhouses deserve particular attention: their private entrances and gardens create a domestic experience that is utterly unique within a condominium framework. For buyers who want the independence of a townhouse backed by the services of a full-time doorman building, there is no comparable offering in Manhattan.
For our clients, 40 Bond Street is a building we recommend when the architecture itself is part of the purchase decision. Owning here means living within a work by one of the most important architectural practices of our time, on one of NoHo's finest blocks, developed by a figure whose cultural instincts are unmatched. Resale demand remains consistently strong precisely because the building's pedigree is irreplaceable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes 40 Bond Street architecturally significant?
40 Bond Street is the first residential project in the United States by Pritzker Prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron, whose portfolio includes the Tate Modern in London and the Beijing National Stadium. Commissioned by Ian Schrager, the building introduced a new paradigm for architecturally-driven luxury residential design in New York City.
What is the graffiti-inspired gate at 40 Bond Street?
The 140-foot cast aluminum gate is a sculptural element designed by Herzog & de Meuron that stretches across the building's ground-floor facade. Its pattern draws from the graffiti culture of the surrounding neighborhood, creating a threshold between the public energy of Bond Street and the private world within.
Who is Ian Schrager and what is his role at 40 Bond?
Ian Schrager is the legendary hotelier and developer who co-founded Studio 54, created the boutique hotel concept with Morgans Hotel, and has since developed some of Manhattan's most architecturally ambitious residential projects. At 40 Bond, he commissioned Herzog & de Meuron to create a building that would be a work of art in its own right.
What types of residences are available at 40 Bond Street?
40 Bond Street offers 33 residences across three typologies: 27 condominiums on floors 2 through 9, 5 townhouses at ground level with private entrances and gardens, and a crown duplex penthouse on the top two floors with a private rooftop terrace.
What is the copper and stainless steel facade?
Herzog & de Meuron designed the building's exterior with a distinctive bell-shaped profile clad in panels of copper and stainless steel. These materials create a facade that changes appearance throughout the day as light conditions shift, giving the building a living, dynamic quality that sets it apart from any other residential building in Manhattan.
What is the NoHo neighborhood like?
NoHo (North of Houston) is a landmarked neighborhood in lower Manhattan celebrated for its historic cast-iron architecture, cobblestone streets, galleries, and acclaimed restaurants.
