Construction Update

Field Condition
April 9, 2015

Quote:

Curtain wall installation continues at 56 Leonard, the 145-unit, 830 foot tall residential tower designed by Herzog & deMeuron and located in the Tribeca neighborhood of Manhattan. Since January's update, five more floors of glass exterior wall have been added to the tower, reaching the 33rd floor.

Superstructure progress appears to have slowed down with the pouring of the final 11 floors, where the floor plates are the most varied. While the majority of the tower's floor plates alternate the balcony locations on every other floor in an A/B pattern, the upper floors of the tower are designed with a less homogeneous variation. Each of the final 11 floor plates should be unique, creating variations in how each floor overhangs or recedes from the other.

Amazing. I'm jealous. When the chaotic top is completed, I think it's going to be a masterpiece.

mrnyc · #**954** Posted **May 1, 2015, 11:58 AM**

yes - i dont think we've seen anything yet. the jenga jumble upper quarter section is what is going to make this iconic as it will be the most typical view. closeup it will be the squashed bean. hopefully - but all looks just as advertised so far.

Watch Jenga Tower 56 Leonard Take Shape in 60 Seconds

As far as construction time lapse videos go, this is one of the better ones. It's to the point, doesn't play around with any fancy angles, is of an actually interesting building (Herzog & de Meuron's 56 Leonard, of Jenga-facade fame), and is mercifully un-scored. There isn't much to say about it other than that, but if you have almost exactly one minute to watch one of the most highly anticipated condo buildings in New York City rise to 60 stories and begin to grow the asymmetrical protrusions that have spawned the Jenga comparisons, then that is something that you can do.

Wow, what that video shows us is that we actually have some serious height left to go on this one.

Pretty incredible. This tower makes people look up and wonder what it is. Funny seeing tourists gaze at it, dumbfounded and smiling.
