As an acknowledgement of the historical character of the neighborhood's industrial past, the towers are clad in brick, metal, and glass. The red brick walls are punctured by large divided-light windows, referencing the warehouses and printing factories of the neighborhood's past. Large metal reveals at the floor slabs break up the brick walls every two floors. Metal is also used as floor slab covers in-between the two-story window groupings, providing further industrial texture to the facades.
Building amenities, designed by Workshop/APD, include a landscaped courtyard with green wall, birch tree arbor, staggered boxwood garden, water feature and integrated seating, outdoor sports court and private fitness center, 60' indoor salt-water swimming pool, steam room and locker rooms, 24-hour doorman/concierge, residents’ lounge with catering kitchen, package room and a children’s playroom.

Construction Update: 1 Manhattan Square
View south from the East River, with One Manhattan Square (center) and One World Trade Center (right).
Superstructure has officially topped out at Extell's One Manhattan Square, a residential condominium tower on the Lower East Side waterfront. Designed by Adamson Associates, the 800-foot-tall tower replaces a former Pathmark grocery store.
One Manhattan Square is part of the recent surge of waterfront development in Lower Manhattan. The city has undertaken a multi-year project to upgrade the East River Esplanade, Pier 17 is undergoing a major retail reconstruction, and construction of residential towers are following. One Manhattan Square is at the forefront of residential development in this neighborhood, with towers by SHoP Architects and Handel Architects also proposed at adjacent waterfront sites.
Southwest corner of the tower (left) and the Manhattan Bridge (right) from the East River.
Design of the exterior curtain wall of the tower includes two different wall types. At the north and south facades, panels are floor to ceiling glass with a bronze metal spandrel at the floor slab. For the east and west facades, flat glass panels are alternated with panels that tilt outward from the floor or the ceiling, adding dimension to the façade and a more dynamic reflection to the glass.
