Recently, I took a tour of 50 West, Time Equities' 64-story residential tower wrapping up construction in Lower Manhattan. Designed by Helmut Jahn, the 780-foot tower features rounded corners which allow for panoramic views, especially from the double height living spaces at the tower's southwest corner. Glass curtain wall panels with stainless steel spandrel panels clad the tower, with curved panels at the corners. At the top of the tower, a private rooftop observatory and terrace features expansive views of the New York Harbor. The plaza at the base of the tower will be the entry point for the new West Thames Street Pedestrian Bridge to be built in the near future.
