386-foot, 34-story modernist residential building completed in 2007. Designed by Perkins Eastman Architects, it is clad in a reflective glass curtain wall that changes in the light, from bluish to silver to green. The east side of the ground floor is faced in grey metal panels, with a glass storefront. To the right, the ground floor is recessed, with a rear glass wall. The upper floors overhang the east half of this part of the ground floor, supported by a large, round, stainless-steel column; the far west side of the facade drops back to the recessed level of the ground floor, where it sports a more silvery glass than the more tinted glass on the east, projecting section. The main entrance is at the west end, with revolving doors below a metal-and-green-glass canopy.
The narrow silver glass section rises vertically to the roof line, while the more tinted glass at the east (basically divided into four bays by thin metal mullions) sets back above the 7th floor, shifting the mass of this section over to the east in a 1-bay cantilever, and then continuing up to the roof line. The projecting, cantilevered section ends just below a continuation of the rest of the glass facade that acts as a parapet to conceal the north side of the mechanical equipment on the rooftop. This section is also striped with bands of pale-green translucent glass between each floor. At the west side, the silver curtain wall, set further back from the east side, begins a gently angled slope back toward the roof - at an angle of 1.6 degrees.
The tinted glass curtain wall with pale-green banding continues on the east and south facades, and covers the south half of the west facade, the north half having the more silver glass from the front facade, although with the addition of darker horizontal banding.
The Centria has 152 condominium units, some of which have been converted to a hotel called Oakwood at the Centria. The east part of the ground floor, next to the lobby, is occupied by New York Kimchi restaurant.
