“Corner sites are a rare and welcome opportunity for both developers and architects,” said the building’s architect Jeff Sydness of Sydness Architects, formerly a partner with John Burgee Architects and its predecessor firm Johnson Burgee, founded by Philip Johnson. “Developers know that condo buyers are willing to pay a premium for the panoramic views a corner allows. And in New York City, it’s not often that an architect can create more than one façade, so we welcome the challenge. For us, the most direct and compelling solution was a continuous, curved façade that lends a monumental quality.”
