\"56-leonard\"It\u2019s a game of Jenga\u2026It\u2019s a stack of glass cages\u2026It\u2019s a weird skyscraper! 56 Leonard happens to be the hottest building in TriBeCa (NYC). Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron (who also built the Beijing\u2019s Bird Nest Olympic stadium), 56 Leonard contains 145 innovative homes in vertical glass expression, stacked one upon another in an irregular way, creating a cascading 60-story structure magnificently. Commentators say that New Yorkers value height, light, peace and unobstructed views mostly in a dream apartment. Well, 56 offer all of it.One of the lady doctors who live in one such high rise condominium said \u201cI can see river, bridges and the parks from my room and if it\u2019s foggy, I feel like I am in a jet. I am single and my boyfriends get excited to see the Hollywood style sunset view from my apartment. Theirs is no doubt it\u2019s expensive but it\u2019s worth every penny\u201d. Among rich class these super luxurious condos are popular. 56 Leonard is one step ahead of being hit. 70 percent of the units have been already sold in a span of few months. There was one crazy Frenchman who just saw some beautifully rendered image of the project and booked a $6 million condo on a phone call. The launch is due next year and prices are rising as the condos are getting booked. Few months back a 2 bedroom unit got sold for $3.6 million and now the price for the same has been climbed up to $4.9 million. May be this is what happens when an extraordinary piece of artwork is up for sale.\"56-leonard-sculpture\"56 Leonard is an iconic and equally absurd piece of intelligent work that is ready to surprise every eye. Possessing a special sculpture made by internationally renowned Anish Kapoor, settled around the finest shops and restaurants in the city\u2019s one of the most desirable areas, these fully custom made mountain condos is an example of childlike dream come true (you can see it at: http:\/\/www.56leonardtribeca.com).\"145-residences\"145 Unique Residences and 10 Penthouses<\/strong>With window walls of up to 14 feet, private outdoor spaces and the basic scheme of champagne window-walls, satin-etched glass, natural solid woods, travertine, Thassos marble, polished metals, black granite, high-gloss black lacquer accents and finished concrete columns, these million dollar residences are no less than a royal queen house.Not to miss the 10 dynamic penthouse residences that offer breathtaking uninterrupted views and have features like east-to-west skyline galleries to maximize views, spacious cedar-lined closets, wood-burning fireplaces, grand entry galleries and exercise rooms.Amenities<\/strong><\/p>\n
