Building of the Day: 130 William

130 William is Adjaye Associates first high-rise residential tower in the United States. Rising 800 feet, the 66-story luxury condominium is an elegant insertion into the dense Manhattan cityscape, carving a distinctive silhouette within the city’s iconic skyline. Conceived as a vertical microcity, 130 William’s program includes 242 residences, extensive two floors of retail, a health club, fitness center, a movie theater, outdoor terraces, a rooftop observatory deck and a new public plaza park—all of which support the building’s residential community and work to redefine the possibility of the vertical urban neighborhood.
