Tour: 20 East End Avenue
Southeast corner from East End Avenue.
Construction is nearing completion on the facade of 20 East End Avenue, a prewar-inspired residential tower from Corigin Real Estate Group and Florida East Coast Realty. Designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects, the Upper East Side tower references classic prewar New York architecture from the likes of Roasario Candela.
Looking up at the east facade from East End Avenue.
The 17-story tower is clad in a handset pale Indiana limestone at the base and patinated grey brick above. A residential entrance fronting on East End Avenue will feature a canopy and custom-designed sconces. Bay windows and Juliet balconies are interspersed amongst the non-symmetrical arrangement of building massing and oversized casement windows. The top five floors feature setback terraces facilitated by the erosion of the building massing above the 12th floor, with landscape designed by the architect.

Construction Update: Cornell Tech Campus
East view of the Cornell Tech campus.
Construction is wrapping up at the first phase of the new campus for Cornell Tech on Roosevelt Island. The full master plan calls for a campus of 2 million square feet of space and 12 acres of open space for approximately 2,500 occupants.

The House at Cornell Tech
The House at Cornell Tech, designed by Handel Architects and developed in partnership with The Hudson Companies and The Related Companies, will offer 350 residential units for students and faculty of the college. Rising to a height of 270 feet, the tower is the tallest building on campus and will be the world’s tallest Passive House designed structure at completion. The Passive House energy standard was developed in Germany and is considered the most rigorous energy efficiency standard in the world. Buildings designed to this standard typically achieve energy consumption reduction of 60% to 80% that of a similar code building.
South façade of The House and southeast corner of The Bridge.
As part of the energy efficient design of the building, the façade is clad in unitized mega panels of metal panel and punched windows that are designed and prefabricated for better control of air infiltration, reducing heating and cooling loss. A special color changing paint is employed on the metal panels that will shift from silver to warm champagne in the natural light. The southwest corner of the façade features a vertical strip of louvers that act as the building’s “gills”, concealing the outdoor space where the heating and cooling equipment are housed.
Amenities will include furnished common spaces, fitness center, landscaped ground floor porch and rooftop terraces, rooftop party room, and bicycle storage.

The Bridge at Cornell Tech
The Bridge at Cornell Tech, designed by Weiss/Manfredi and developed by Forest City Ratner Companies, will serve as a corporate co-location facility to bring together established tech companies, startups, and academic researchers to accelerate the introduction of new technologies to the market. The 230,000 square foot building will pursue a minimum of LEED Silver with sustainable features such as 16,500 square feet of rooftop solar panels, efficient water fixtures, stormwater capture, and a ground floor elevated 10 feet above the 100 year flood plane. A glass curtain wall with a vertical frit pattern clads the steel structure, offering expansive light and views to the 14 foot floor to floor height work spaces.

The Bloomberg Center
The Bloomberg Center, designed by Morphosis, serves as the main academic building for the first phase of the Cornell Tech campus. Faculty and students will be able to work independently and collaboratively in the building’s flexible space. Interaction with the public will be facilitated through the café and terrace. As with the other buildings on campus, The Bloomberg Center will pursue aggressive sustainability standards as it sets a goal of being the largest Net Zero energy use building in the United States. All of its energy will be generated on site through the use of geothermal wells for heating and cooling and a canopy of solar panels at the roof.

Morphosis has designed an iconic metal panel façade to cover the unitized, continuously insulated rainscreen wall system. A system of perforations in the panels catches the sunlight to create an organic pattern visible on campus and from afar.

Construction Update: Greenpoint Landing
Significant progress is being made at Greenpoint Landing, the waterfront mega project from developers Park Tower Group, Brookfield Property Partners, and L+M Development Partners. Handel Architects is responsible for the design of the master plan and the current sites completed or under construction. The master plan will bring 10 towers and about 5,500 residential units to the Greenpoint neighborhood in Brooklyn. Approximately 1,400 of those units will be permanently affordable, some of which are already being offered through housing lotteries for the first three all-affordable low-rise buildings at or near completion. Also included in the development will be a waterfront park from James Corner Field Operations and a K-8 public school on the corner of Franklin and Dupont Street.
37 Blue Slip
Concrete superstructure has reached the half-way mark at 37 Blue Slip, the first market rate tower of the Greenpoint Landing mega project. The 30-story tower will rise 300 feet and offer 373 residential units when completed. Brick, metal, and glass will clad the façade, tying the tower into the adjacent affordable buildings in the development.

Superstructure has topped out at Barnard College's new interdisciplinary education building, The Cheryl and Philip Milstein Teaching and Learning Center. Designed by SOM, The Milstein Center will contain 128,000-square-foot of faculty and student space, including a library, conference facilities, interdisciplinary workspace, and a home for the Athena Center for Leadership Studies and the Barnard Center for Research on Women. The building's massing incorporates a five-story stepped horizontal bar at the south end of the site, which will allow sunlight access for Lehman Lawn and offer rooftop outdoor spaces that extend the lawn into the building. A 12-story tower at the northern end will be similar in height to the adjacent Altschul Hall. A cantilevered space on the 10th floor of the tower echoes a similar cantilever of Weiss/Manfredi's The Diana Center located across the lawn.
Constructed is slated to wrap up in the fall of 2018.

Construction Update: 285 West 110th Street - Circa Central Park
Southwest corner.
Exterior construction is wrapping up at Artimus Construction's Circa Central Park, a 11-story, 38-unit residential condo building at 285 West 110th Street. Designed by FXFOWLE, the tower occupies the final site surrounding Frederick Douglass Circle and replaces a former gas station at the northwest corner of Central Park. The developer has helmed numerous projects in Morningside Heights and the larger Harlem neighborhood, including 5th on the Park and the renovation of the Corn Exchange Building.
Balconies at the southeast corner.
FXFOWLE's design features a massing that follows the concave curve of the site's southern perimeter and steps down from west to east with cascading private terraces. A faceted glass curtain wall on the southern facade affords ample light and Central Park views while the vertical and horizontal fins mitigate solar heat gain in the units. When viewed from the west, the vertical fins appear orange, while a view from Central Park reveals a green tone on the opposite side. Floor slabs are expressed on the facade with white metal spandrel panels that include thickened c-channel profiles.

Installation of the exterior wall is underway at 70 Vestry, Related Companies's 14-story, 46-unit luxury residential condo tower on the Tribeca waterfront. Design of the building is by Robert A.M. Stern Architects and employs the firm's signature blend of materials and details that evoke pre-war New York elegance and modern luxury. Massing of the 14-story building follows a c-shaped structure wrapping around a courtyard and porte-cochere, with setbacks starting on the seventh floor. Due to the numerous setbacks, many units will feature gracious private outdoor terraces.
Close-up of the northwest corner façade.
The building's façade will be clad in Beaumaniere limestone from a quarry in the French countryside south of Paris.
