Designed by famous architect Costas Kondylis and to be developed by Larry Silverstein, the proposed mixed-use tower at 99 Church Street in downtown Manhattan is meeting the approval of the Internet’s most fiercely critical
architecture watchers – albeit with some exceptions. The lower 20 floors will be a Shangri-La hotel, while the upper 40 or so will be luxury condominiums in the grand old Park Avenue idiom. With its elegant fenestration and a gorgeous, decorative crown that pays tribute to the nearby Woolworth building, 99 Church is shaping up to be one of the more attractive new luxury developments in New York City since
Fifteen CPW. Construction begins at year-end.
