Text description provided by the architects.

Seaport Residences soars 60 stories above the waterfront in the Seaport District of Lower Manhattan offering unobstructed river and city skyline views from nearly each of the 98 light-filled residences. The elegant, all-glass tower is the first condominium project in the most historic neighborhood in the city.Hill West designed a building that embodies the essence of living on the water by day or by night.

The designers digitized images of light on water to create a pattern by which the 4 types of glass on the building exterior mimic the sparkle and drama of the water and reflect the sky. Building infrastructure is located out of flood danger and off the ground floor. The main lobby, reached by a dramatic staircase, is also located on the 2nd floor.

Incredible amenities include a pool with an infinity edge up against the glass that merges into the panoramic views of the city beyond.

Balconies spiral up the building in a helix-like movement, drawing the eye from the base to building crown. By night, Seaport Residences illuminates the skyline with long baguettes of lights wrapping its crown like a modern residential lighthouse in the city port..
