Read MorePROFILEnyc’s Top 5 of 2017
No city rings in the New Year like New York City. 2017 was a big year for NYC real estate as new towers such as 432 Park, 53W53, and 56 Leonard, amongst others, transformed the Manhattan skyline as they powered towards completion. Some of the world’s finest architects including Herzog & de Meuron, Bjarke Ingels, and Kohn Pedersen Fox unveiled some of the most progressive designs the world has ever seen while NYC’s top brokers continued to turn the city’s most lavish homes. Here is PROFILEnyc’s Top 5 Moments from 2017:
1. Lightstone And Sir David Adjaye Announce Collaboration On 130 William, Adjaye Associates' First NYC Condo Tower
Lightstone, one of the largest and most diversified privately held real estate companies in the United States, and Adjaye Associates, the world-renowned architecture firm founded by Sir David Adjaye, have announced 130 William, a luxury condominium building located in downtown Manhattan. 130 William is Adjaye Associates’ first condominium tower in New York City.

2. PROFILE Exclusive: Transforming NYC's Ever Evolving Skyline At 53W53 With David Penick Of Hines
PROFILEnyc had the exclusive opportunity to tour the fast-rising ultra-luxury, supertall residential tower 53W53 with David Penick, Managing Director at Hines, and discuss with him the fast-rising Manhattan skyline and what it takes to bring such an iconic building to New York City. The ultra-modern Jean-Nouvel structure is already turning heads in Midtown Manhattan with its tapering, exoskeleton design in an neighborhood that has seen skyline changing towers such as One57 and 432 Park rise in recent years. One thing is for sure, the Central Park and Manhattan views matched with Jean Nouvel design just cannot be beat.
PROFILEnyc: Up until One57 was completed in 2014 there really wasn't any urgency for supertall towers in New York City. Since then Manhattan has seen some of the world's finest towers rise including One57, 432 Park and soon to be 53W53, 111 West 57 and Central Park Tower. What kicked off this development boom?
David Penick: Demand for great places to live. Skyscrapers have always been a large part of the fabric that makes up the New York City skyline and play a significant role in defining Manhattan. In recent years, developers have been geographically limited when it comes to sites where they can build significant projects and to maximize space the most effective way to do this, is to build skyward. New state-of-the-art and improved materials also makes building taller skyscrapers a more efficient process. 53W53 is located on a through-block site running to 54th Street, west of Fifth Avenue, in the epicenter of New York's global business, arts and cultural districts. For us, we wanted to create something that is truly unique. Read the exclusive interview here.
