60 stories of glass curtainwall, this sleek residential high-rise condominium is the first building in New York to utilize a new hybrid installation system, cutting the cost of installation. Prefabricated panels were erected around each floor, rather than by elevation, allowing installers to complete the job two floors at a time.
