386-foot, 28-story deconstructionist residential building to be completed in 2025. Designed by Eran Chen of ODA Architecture, the staggered building design aims to take on disassembling the archetypical skyscraper box. While most of the mass of the tower is on the 56th street side, its entrance, which will be a six-storey-tall mirrored copper "gateway", will be on 57th street.

On the 56th street side, the main aspect of the building features a slightly tapered structure. Certain aspects of the facade will appear to be subtracted from the whole, making it seem pixelated. It is clad in white pre-cast stone, with mostly square window openings, along with number of small terraces scattered across the facade.

The building contains 175 condominium units.
