130 William couldn’t exist anywhere else. Sir David Adjaye uses the neighborhood context as a starting point. He pushes against the conventions of tall glass towers with curves and arches inspired by classic Manhattan masonry architecture. A signature feature of the building is the unique silhouette of rhythmic oversized bronze arched windows that draw inspiration from the beloved lofts that once populated the area. At 66 stories and nearly 800 feet tall, the new luxury high-rise tower is quickly becoming recognized for its iconic exterior architecture, which centers around its unique curved windows.

Situated in Manhattan’s newest neighborhood, 35 Hudson Yards is the latest addition from David Childs and Skidmore Owings & Merrill. Drawing inspiration from David Child’s organic architecture, the building offers an arrival experience met with a nautilus-shaped ceiling light installation that effortlessly guides residences through the lobby to the elevator corridor. The selection of exotic woods, stones, and metals creates an inviting and luxurious atmosphere complimented with collectible furniture, art, and lighting pieces that further elevate the most luxurious building in Hudson Yards and a truly unique private residence in New York City.

Designed by world-renowned architect Rafael Viñoly, 125 Greenwich Street tops out at 88 stories. This towering building features an exposed concrete column that runs throughout the height of the building and a curved glass façade that enhances panoramic views of the Hudson River, Statue of Liberty and the skyline. This curved façade is carried through the 15,000-square-foot, residents-only, private club called The 88, which spans across the top three floors. The club is dedicated to the wellness of its residents and includes skyline and water views.

Downtown New York City is a neighborhood that lives two separate lives—Downtown New York City is a neighborhood that lives two separate lives—the old streets of New Amsterdam to the new builds that are creating New New York.

Amidst all the change and renovation to the city’s southern tip, new constructions are becoming more and more beautiful and palatial in standards, with better interiors, broader views, and a setting that makes any tenant feel as though they’re the king or queen of the world.

The latest addition to the towers downtown is the unveiling of 125 Greenwich Street, an 88 story, 912-foot tall luxury skyscraper designed by world famous architect Rafael Vinoly, who recently designed another legendary skyscraper in the city pointing up from the skyline, 432 Park Avenue. The British duo of March and White designed the interiors of the units, this being their first big residential project in the United States. The duo are also known for some of the most elite clubs in London as the designers of the Arts Club and Devonshire Club. Their work on 125 Greenwich Street evokes that same essence of exclusivity and prestige while still feeling elegant and personalized to any resident.

The building is only a few blocks from the Oculus and One World Trade Center, and will be home to 273 units of studios to three bedrooms. The top three floors of the building are also going to house the amenities of the tower, giving every tenant a reason to take in the highest views without having to pay for the top levels available. Amenities include a 50’ lap pool, spa, sauna and steam room, fitness center, yofa studio, event space, and cinema.

In the rich history of downtown and the financial district, the unveiling of 125 Greenwich Street marks a nuanced, interesting turn into the future of what this city is growing into. Onward and Upward.
