Arrive In Comfort: Motor Courts Are Back and Better At The Cortland

Within the last few years, motor courts have emerged as a must-have for any building aiming to lure Manhattan’s elite. Whether it’s titled as a driveway or porte-cochère, the trend towards motor courts has accelerated notably, offering security and convenience (plus quick access to the warmth of the indoors!).

The Cortland is a new residential project located at 555 West 22nd Street across from the Hudson River Park in West Chelsea. A celebration of American craftsmanship, The Cortland represents a unique collaboration between two of the world’s leading architecture practices, Robert A.M. Stern Architects and Olson Kundig. The Cortland reflects the synergy of the firm’s two unique styles, and their shared dedication to craftsmanship, natural materials and deep understanding about how people want to live. Upon arriving, residents will drive into the private motor court— adorned with a bronze canopy and set off by lush landscaping and a limestone archway— and reap the benefits of the secure and convenient space.
