When the design concept of 56 Leonard Street was published, it attracted considerable attention from the public. It is a 250-meter-tall, 60-storey skyscraper currently under construction on Leonard Street in Tribeca, New York City, United States. Designed by the Swiss architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron, the structure looks like a giant magic cube. The Pritzker Prize-winning firm describes the building as "houses stacked in the sky."
The building has 145 condominium residences which will range in size from 131.7 to 594.6 square meters and will include two to five bedrooms, all with private outdoor space. The full glass curtain wall will give the owners a better view on Manhattan. The construction is expected to finish in spring 2016.
