56 Leonard Street residential high-rise

At 253 m high, the building is average height for New York. Being located in the historic Tribeca district, where only six storeys are the norm, the tower seems extremely exposed.
The residential high-rise tower at 56 Leonard Street designed by Herzog & de Meuron stands for private living in the urban density of New York. Despite the compromised configuration, the building offers custom floor plans, personal open spaces, exciting views, neighbourhoods, meeting places and community spaces – and, as a special sign of user autonomy, manually opened floor-to-ceiling windows.
