Superstructure has reached the two-thirds mark at Citizen 360, a residential tower by developer Anbau and SHoP Architects.
Superstructure has reached the two-thirds mark at Citizen 360, a residential tower by developer Anbau and SHoP Architects. The 34-story condo tower features a 7-story podium clad in glass, metal, and stone which transitions to brick cladding on the tower. Vertical bands of glass are arranged in a varied pattern throughout the facade, creating variety that contrasts with the regularized grid of windows on the adjacent towers.
The project will contain 78 condo units in a range from one- to four-bedrooms at 875 to 2,850 square feet. Construction is slated for 2017.

NYU Langone Medical Center Expansion
Checking in on the progress at two projects underway for the NYU Langone Medical Center's campus transformation.
NYU Langone Medical Center is undergoing a major effort to renovate and expand its campus in the Kips Bay neighborhood. Already, the master plan has seen major renovations to Tisch Hospital. Now, two major new construction projects from Ennead Architects and NBBJ are underway simultaneously as the Science Building and the Kimmel Pavilion both rise at either end of the campus.
NYU Langone Science Building
At the corner of East 30th Street and the FDR Service Road, the NYU Langone Science Building will provide 10 floors of laboratory space dedicated to research within its 365,000 square foot tower. The tower is predominantly clad in a glass curtain wall that features glass fins and a white, horizontal frit pattern that both work to mitigate the sun's impact on its eastern and southern exposure. Currently, the building's steel superstructure is one floor from topping out and curtain wall installation has begun on the lower half of the tower. LEED Gold is being targeted for the tower.

Helen L. and Martin S. Kimmel Pavilion
Located adjacent to Tisch Hospital at the northern edge of the medical campus, the Kimmel Pavilion's 830,000-square-foot tower will bring modernized patient care to the campus. The project includes high-efficiency operating rooms and single-bed inpatient rooms with a connection to Tisch Hospital at imaging and procedural floors. Presently, the steel superstructure has reached floor 18 of 21 and installation of the tower's curtain wall has begun on the western facade.

42 Crosby Street
Exterior wall nears completion at Selldorf Architects' seven-story condo building in SoHo.
Exterior wall installation nears completion at Selldorf Architects' 42 Crosby Street in the heart of the SoHo neighborhood. The seven story residential condo building is being developed by Atlas Capital Group. Selldorf's facade includes floor to ceiling sliding doors, glass guardrails, metal mesh spandrel panels, and round steel fins that define the window bays. The metal facade should produce a nice tension between the lighter cast iron and masonry structures that surround it.

1 John Street
Tour 1 John Street, the residential condo building at the northern fringes of Brooklyn Bridge Park from Alloy and Monadnock.
Construction scaffolding is coming down at 1 John Street, revealing its brick and window façade. The residential building, located at the northern fringes of Brooklyn Bridge Park in DUMBO, is jointly developed by Alloy Development and Monadnock Development.
Looking east towards the Manhattan Bridge and the west façade of 1 John Street.
The 42-unit, 12 story condominium will offer two, three and four bedroom apartments designed by Alloy Development, founded by architect Jared Della Valle. For the design of the exterior facade, large windows set into brick follow a gradient in size, such that the ratio of solid to glass increases towards the top of the building. Windows are motorized to allow for the entire unit to open when needed. Inside the unit, large open spaces accommodate living, dining, and kitchen areas that have visual connection to each other and the exterior.
West façade from Brooklyn Bridge Park.
Beyond the waterfront views, the building's amenities include a gym, bike storage, and landscaped roof deck with cabanas. On the first floor, the building will house an annex of the Brooklyn Children's Museum, currently located in the Crown Heights neighborhood.
1 John Street is slated for completion in 2016 and will seek LEED Gold certification.
