Construction Update: 727 5th Avenue - Tiffany & Co. Flagship Expansion
Facade installation is underway at LVMH’s renovation and expansion of the Tiffany & Co. flagship retail building on Fifth Avenue in Midtown. Designed by Shohei Shigematsu of OMA’s New York office, the project includes a renovation of the 1940 Cross & Cross designed structure at 727 Fifth Avenue and a new three-story pavilion at the top that will include exhibition, event and clienteling space. The new structure will be clad in two types of glass: flat low-e glass at floors 8 and 9 and an undulating slumped glass facade at floor 10 that resembles a soft curtain.

Construction Update: 420 Kent Avenue
Construction is ongoing at Spitzer Enterprises' 420 Kent, the three-tower, 857-unit residential development on the South Williamsburg waterfront. Designed by ODA New York, the massing for each of the 22-story towers breaks down a simple rectangular extrusion into a collection of shifting boxes. Along with adding visual interest, the massing strategy also increases the number of corner units in each tower and adds outdoor terraces atop the shifting boxes.
West facades
Curtain wall installation is underway at all three tower sites, with the northernmost tower nearly fully clad. The floor-to-ceiling glass in the apartments will offer views to the Manhattan skyline, Brooklyn, and the nearby Williamsburg Bridge.
