The Cortland is a new residential project located at 555 West 22nd Street across from the Hudson River Park in West Chelsea. The building represents a unique collaboration between two of the world’s leading architecture practices, Robert A.M. Stern Architects and Olson Kundig.
Inspired by West Chelsea’s rich industrial heritage and the neighborhood’s historic architecture, The Cortland’s facade features a mix of limestone, brick, and metal detailing and uses over one million hand-made and hand-laid bricks giving the project a distinctly historical feel.
More than just driveways, motor courts contribute function and form to a residential landscape design by providing a stylish transition space for guests approaching the front of the building. A must-have for any development, they ensure security and convenience especially when heightened concerns of privacy is bubbling up over the years.
Mitsui Fudosan America and Newmark completed leasing transactions totaling 230,200 s/f at 1251 Avenue of the Americas. The building has maintained strong leasing momentum despite pandemic-induced tenant uncertainty that has stalled leasing activity in other parts of the city. The three transactions include Lowenstein Sandler for 125,700 s/f, Berenberg Capital Markets for 62,400 s/f and TCW for 44,100 s/f.
