Mancini•Duffy was commissioned by Normandy Real Estate Partners to provide full architectural design services for the renovation and modernization of Normandy’s 125 West 25th Street. The project calls for prime ground-floor retail and expanded retail storage in the lower level of the 11-story, 115,000-square-foot loft office building, located in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood. In addition to the retail component, the top ten floors will offer new office space with a fresh, modern infrastructure.
Mancini•Duffy designed a unique lighted glass curtain wall encompassing the first three stories and replacing the existing and antiquated metal skin. The firm has also created a new tenant lobby for the eastern portion of the building along 25th street, while a freight area will be constructed on the west side’s entrance. Plans also call for the complete upgrade and modernization of the building’s mechanical, HVAC and plumbing systems we well as LEED Gold certification.
