HORIZEN MIXED-USE CONDOMINIUM DEVELOPMENT Horizen Global Real Estate Development The site is a beautifully articulated development that brings the mid-block of 23rd Street and 24th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues into the context of the beloved Flat Iron Building and the highly acclaimed MetLife Insurance Tower-both recognized as sculptural icons of the early twentieth century. This new building is a more modern expression yet attempts to become such an icon for its own generation, representing an optimistic view of the future and the culture of the time in which it was built. Its folded planes of glass define a slender tower that recedes from the street in a powerful urban gesture, respecting its context and allowing the tower to dematerialize as it rises to the height of twenty-six stories. The building will benefit from the exceptional views of the many areas and buildings that define New York as a "capital of the world." Ultimately, this is a building for New York City. Leading the design of this remarkable building is the acclaimed visionary architect Carlos Zapata of Carlos Zapata Studio; in concert with the eminent Peter Samton of New York City’s own industry leader Gruzen Samton, LLP serving as Architect of Record. |
