New York by Gehry is the tallest residential tower in the Western Hemisphere, and the first ever
designed by Frank Gehry. The architect’s distinctive glass and stainless steel cladding, flowing lines
and organic shapes create an elegant architectural silhouette that has redefined the skyline of
Manhattan. His innovative approach to incorporating free-form bay windows results in the building’s
dynamic silhouette and exceptional panoramic views from its residences. The undulating folds in the
exterior wall make for an unprecedented variety of residential unit layouts—over 200 in all. Frank
Gehry has designed all of the interior finishes in the units as well as the amenity and public spaces
In addition to its 903 market-rate rental apartments, the mixed-use development includes a 100,000-
square-foot public school on the first through fifth floors, the first ever built in New York City on private
land, as well as doctors offices for physicians associated with New York Downtown Hospital. There will
also be 1,300 square feet of neighborhood-oriented ground-floor retail space and 26,000 square feet
of below-grade parking for 175 cars for hospital use. The development also includes 15,000 square
feet of open space in two beautiful landscaped public plazas.
