Designed by Ismael Leyva Architects, this luxury residential condominium for The Clarett Group is located on 57th St. not far from the intersection of 3rd Ave. Including close to 135,000 square feet of gross residential area, the 36 floors of the new building will have 71 high-end units. The building is designed as a pure geometry of glass surfaces. In a dynamic combination of minimalist shapes, the main volume takes advantage of the lower height of the adjacent building at the corner with the 3rd Ave. The result is a daring composition, generating a volume with diamond like facets. This allows various exposures permitting for better views in the apartments. An angled cantilever, following a diagonal direction projects out above the existing lower buildings, animating the West façade. The living spaces located in this cantilever offer panoramic views of the surroundings. The apartments located on the upper floors enjoy views of Central Park, the Midtown skyline and the East River. The building will become an outstanding feature of the East Side, favorably seen from both East 57th Street and 3rd Avenue.
