This new condominium project near the Highline will have 39 residences, automated underground parking and a wide range of amenities including a 2,500-square-foot planted sculpture terrace. The GMS Building Envelope team assisted the Architects with the fa\u00e7ade and waterproofing. The fa\u00e7ade includes large sliding glass panels, handcrafted bronze painted metal fa\u00e7ade and Hadid\u2019s signature curves. The chevron pattern of the fa\u00e7ade envelops split levels of the building. Curved glass is used at the building corners and terrace guard rails. The 11 story L-shaped building was completed in 2017. The team is seeking LEED Silver certification.<\/p>\n
