#1 - 56 Leonard Street
Also known as "the Jenga Tower," 56 Leonard Street makes a dramatic statement in the Lower Manhattan skyline with each floor being rotated between the ones above and below, floor-to-ceiling glass, and private balconies in every unit. The windows allow for beautiful views of the cityscape, water, bridges and beyond.
views of the cityscape, water, bridges and beyond.
#2 - 40 Bond Street
Located on a cobblestone street in the heart of Noho, 40 Bond Street is set apart by its "graffiti gate," green glass frames, and floor-to-ceiling windows. The result is a masterpiece of modern architecture.
#3 - 860 United Nations Plaza
Located up the street from the United Nations headquarters, 860 United Nations Plaza and sister building 870 United Nations Plaza are a Modernist masterpiece by Harrison and Abramovitz. The floor-to-ceiling windows allow for incredible light and views of the East River.
#4 - 111 Murray Street
111 Murray Street's flared pinnacle practically serves as an exclamation point in the new Lower Manhattan skyline. Column-free corners and curved floor-to-ceiling windows allow for panoramic views of the Hudson River and the Manhattan skyline.
#5 - 53 West 53rd Street
Soaring above the Museum of Modern Art, 53 West 53 is a work of art in its own right with its unique structure and floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Interiors by Thierry Despont were designed to make the most of the space with elegant floor plans.
#6 - 173 Perry Street
The all-glass 173 Perry Street transformed the West Village waterfront and ushered in a new design age for this area. Clean lines and floor-to-ceiling windows afford incredible light and Hudson River views.
#7 - 121 East 22nd Street
Designed by OMA Architecture, 121 E 22nd brings a black grid facade, dramatic cascade, and floor-to-ceiling windows to its Gramercy block. Light pours into floor-to-ceiling windows in all units.
#8 - Residences at the Mandarin Oriental, 80 Columbus Circle
Residences at the Mandarin Oriental are located in Deutsche Bank Center, the two-towered glass building at the nexus of Columbus Circle and Central Park. The address and the facade allow for incredible views, almost as decadent as some of the hotel's amenities and services.
#9 - One Jackson Square, 122 Greenwich Avenue
Directly across from one of New York's oldest park, One Jackson Square is distinguished by its undulating bands of glass. Not only do these beautifully reflect the historic architecture surrounding the building, but they fill the apartments inside with impressive natural light.
#10 - 165 Charles Street
Following in the footsteps of the Perry West complex, 165 Charles Street brings a sleek building with floor-to-ceiling glass to the West Village waterfront. No more than two units per floor allow for excellent privacy, and the beautifully appointed interiors are flooded with natural light.
