Top Architects Are Behind 6 New NYC Apartment Buildings

Shop Architects, the New York-based firm behind Brooklyn’s first residential skyscraper and Barclay’s Center, masterminded this angular copper-clad two-tower development.

The towers are connected by a 300-foot-high sky bridge containing a 75-foot lap pool.

Monthly rents on the 761 units range from $2,800 to $6,700 (the latter price tag is for a two-bedroom, two-bath apartment); Citi Habitats is handling the leasing.

Soo K. Chan, Singapore’s best-known talent and principal of SCDA Architects, is nearing completion on his first luxury tower in New York.

Sixteen of the building’s 31 units feature pools, some of which are tucked into serene rooftop terraces.

Sotheby’s International Realty is representing the condos, which start at $3.5 million and will be move-in ready this summer. Still up for grabs: the 4,510-square-foot, four-bedroom penthouse triplex with a rooftop pool, asking $22.5 million.

English architect David Chipperfield, whose projects include Berlin’s Neues Museum and the Museo Jumex in Mexico City, has made his mark on New York with his first residential building.

This condo-hotel hybrid occupies the last buildable residential site on beloved Bryant Park.

Apartments ranging from $1.9 million to $10 million will be ready for residents in June. A four-bedroom unit, offered for $9.4 million by Corcoran Group Real Estate, boasts floor-to-ceiling windows and balconies overlooking the park.

Pritzker Prize–winner Norman Foster (Foster + Partners) designed this 63-story tower to complement the nearby Seagram Building.

A restaurant and market from chef Joël Robuchon will offer residents perks like private dining and priority reservations.

Construction on all 94 units, priced from $2.6 million, will wrap late this year. The most expensive condo is a two-story penthouse with a $65 million ask; Compass is handling sales.

New York firm BKSK Architects devised a historically sensitive façade for this NoHo development.

High-profile residents will appreciate the building’s secluded private driveway and state-of-the-art wet spa.

The development’s two- to four-bedroom units, starting at $4.6 million, will be finished in October. The priciest apartment, at $23.75 million, is already in contract, but a spacious four-bedroom, 3,300-square-foot residence is available for $8.95 million through Douglas Elliman Real Estate.

Rafael Viñoly took inspiration for this slender 1,396-foot tower—the tallest residential building in the Western Hemisphere—from a 1905 wastebasket designed by Josef Hoffmann.

Every room in the half- and full-floor apartments—even the baths—enjoys wraparound views of the city.

Buyers paid as much as $87 million to live here when the building began welcoming residents last year, although you can still nab a posh pad for as little as $6.5 million. Douglas Elliman is managing sales at the tower, which is more than 75 percent sold.
