56 Leonard
The shifting floors continue to rise at Herzog & de Meuron's 56 Leonard tower in TriBeCa. Structure has reached the 50th floor and the glass window wall has been installed up to the 28th floor. The iconic tower already asserts its striking presence from many points in the city and the effect will only increase as the final 11 floors, where the shifting is most pronounced, takes shape. When completed, the condo tower will include 145 units, each with their own unique layout thanks to the architects' shifting floor plate strategy.
