56 Leonard Street is an 821 feet (250 m) tall, 60-story[1] skyscraper currently under construction on Leonard Street in Tribeca, New York City, United States. The Pritzker Prize-winning Swiss architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron describes the building as "houses stacked in the sky."[1] When completed, it will be the tallest structure in Tribeca.[2]

The building has 145 condominium residences priced between US$3.5 million and US$50 million. Residences will range in size from 1,418 to 6,400 square feet (131.7 to 594.6 m2) and will include 2 to 5 bedrooms all with private outdoor space.

As of May 2013, 70% of the building had sold.[3] According to building developer Izak Senbahar, the building was 92% sold in seven months.[4] In June 2013, a penthouse at 56 Leonard went into contract for US$47 million, making it the most expensive residential property ever sold below Midtown Manhattan.[2]

The building is expected to be completed in 2016.[3]


History

Alexico Group’s Izak Senbahar purchased the land and the air rights in 2007 from the New York Law School for US$150 million. Construction began that same year.[3]

In 2013, the developers secured a US$350 million loan from a syndicate led by Bank of America.[3][5]

Architecture and design

56 Leonard is designed by the Swiss architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron. A sculpture by Anish Kapoor sits at the base of the building.[1]

Goldstein, Hill & West Architects LLP is responsible for documenting and overseeing the construction of the design.[6]

Herzog & de Meuron also designed the building’s interiors, which include custom designed kitchens, fixtures, bathrooms, and fireplaces.[1]

There will be 17,000 square feet (1,600 m2) of amenity spaces on the 9th and 10th floors, including a 75-foot pool, a 25-seat screening room, a private dining room, and a children’s playroom. The building will have seven elevators; owners will share a hallway with at most one other apartment. The developers also figured a generator on the ninth floor into the plans.[1]

There will be eight full-floor apartments at the top, ranging from 5,200 to 6,400 square feet (480 to 590 m2), with 14-to-19-foot-high (4.3 to 5.8 m) ceilings.[1] In addition, the building will feature a double-height lobby sheathed in "gleaming" black granite.[7]
