History

The original building at this address was a 10-story telephone factory built in 1888–1889 for Western Electric and sold in the 1980s to the American Stock Exchange. It was demolished decades later by further property investors for the skyscraper. [2] In September 2014, it was announced that the tower would stand 1,356 feet (413 m), with 77 floors and 128 residential units. [3] The foundation of the building was completed in June 2016. [4] In 2017, the building's height was revised to 912 feet (278 m), with 88 floors and 273 units. [5]

Architecture

The tower has distinctly rounded corners with curved floor-to-ceiling glass. The building is nearly column-free, and two I-beam-shaped shear walls that run vertically through the slender tower support the floors of the building. [6] The top three floors contain amenities including entertainment space, private dining rooms, a fitness center, lap pool, and a spa. The building will contain 273 apartments that will come in studios through three-bedroom variants. [7]
