In skyscraper-dense Midtown Manhattan, a new 62-story tower stands apart as one of the world’s most innovative new high-rises, according to recent recognition from a variety of international groups in architecture, engineering and urbanism.
Thanks to a creative design by CetraRuddy Architecture, this new building, ARO, has garnered wide acclaim for its innovative cantilevered shape, tower-podium form with activated and interconnected terraces, and its striking and efficient façade of insulating glass and white metal lattice.
According to CetraRuddy, the architecture and interiors firm and leader in urban housing, these careful design choices allow for more diverse and appealing layouts of ARO’s 426 apartments, better natural light exposure and glare reduction, and rare opportunities for multi-level indoor-outdoor city life in the middle of New York’s Theater District.
