100 11th Avenue

Jean Nouvel

Project Overview

100 11th Avenue is described by its architect Jean Nouvel as a vision machine designed to create visual excitement for both residents inside the building and passers-by on the street. The 23-storey condominium tower will feature the most highly engineered and technologically advanced curtain wall ever constructed in New York City a curved, glittering mosaic of nearly 1,700 different-sized panes of colorless glass, each set at a unique angle and torque, sheathing one of the most meticulously customized, high performance residential addresses in the nation. This curtain wall mosaic will frame splendid views from within the tower while producing an exterior texture that is a poetic analog for the vibrancy, density and changeability of New York.

At 100 11th Avenues base, a separate seven-storey street wall of mullioned glass will stand 15 feet from the buildings façade, creating a semi-enclosed atrium unprecedented in New York City. Within it, suspended gardens of ornamental vegetation and trees will appear to float in mid-air; private indoor and outdoor terraces will extend from residences; and an open-air dining patio for the lobby restaurant.

The 72 homes within 100 11th Avenue will range in size from 890 square feet to 4,675 square feet and include one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments, and five penthouses. All residences have super-customized interiors designed by Jean Nouvel and inspired by the sleek minimalism of the West Chelsea districts many art galleries. The buildings top floor will comprise a single grand residence with full-roof private terrace featuring outdoor rooms.

Prices for the residences will range from $1.6 million to $22 million.
