Actual brick-laying! Don't see that in high rise buildings very often these days.

I love the little hold out on the corner, it's charming. Of course if it was a cinder block pos I'd have a different opinion.

The brick is beautiful, though I feel like it doesn't perfectly suit this building. I preferred the renderings with the the pale limestone skin. Still, an excellent building

Stern is like the Babe Ruth of architects. He hits home runs consistently.

Directly to the east is a U-Haul building and self-storage structure. I hope those sites become companion Stern towers. That would be perfect.

23rd Street would be amazing.

For whatever reason, that U-Haul building is regarded as some kind of icon and won’t be razed.

Sales Launch For The Cortland At 555 West 22nd Street In Chelsea, Manhattan

Quote:
Sales have officially launched at The Cortland, a 25-story condominium building at 555 West 22nd Street in the West Chelsea neighborhood. Developed by Related Companies, in partnership with Mitsui Fudosan America, the nearly 300-foot-tall new structure was designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects with interiors by Olson Kundig and will hold 144 residential units. The Cortland will have a mix of two- to five-bedroom residences, as well as a series of penthouses. Related Sales LLC and CORE Group are the exclusive co-sales and marketing agents for the development, with residences starting at $4.05 million.

“We are proud to officially launch sales at The Cortland, a truly design-driven building that represents a remarkable collaboration between two icons, Robert A.M. Stern Architects and Olson Kundig,” said Andrew Orchulli, senior vice president at Related Companies. “The classic exterior, modern interiors, and hospitality-driven amenities will deliver a living experience that is only available at The Cortland.”

Rising along West Street across from Hudson River Park, The Cortland’s detail façade will features a mix of LaSalle limestone, bronze metal detailing, and over one million handmade and hand-laid bricks. A brick motor court will be accessible via a limestone archway, and will provide around-the-clock access to on-site private parking. The double-height lobby features Italian marble, a bespoke Olson Kundig-designed kinetic wheel operated fireplace, and a bronze and onyx light fixture by German Sculptor Markus Haase commissioned exclusively for The Cortland.

“Our design for The Cortland expresses the yin and yang of old and new, established and modern,” said Tom Kundig FAIA, RIBA, owner and design principal of Olson Kundig. “Robert A.M. Stern Architects’ design for The Cortland’s exterior relates to the neighborhood’s historic architectural language, while the interiors provide a complementary, updated feel. By focusing on materiality and craft, and incorporating an eclectic sensibility, the design plays on the creative and bohemian nature of West Chelsea’s art scene.”

Occupancy is slated for summer 2022.

Probably the best compliment I can give Stern is that his buildings always look best, up-close. And not just at the base, but what towers above as well. They look fine from a distance. Even pretty good. But man, treat yourself to the pleasure or walking right up to one and prepare to be amazed. Look at all the wonderful finishings down below, and look up at the textures shapes and colors above as well
