10-story contemporary modernist residential building completed in 2020. Designed by GDSNY and GF55 Partners, it is clad in limestone and glass with bronze metal accents. The east facade facing the avenue has a curtain wall of glass with thin metal mullions. At the lower two floors, the piers and spandrels dividing the bays and floors have black opaque glass panels. On the upper floors there are dark-blue glass panels dividing the facade into a middle bay with three rectangular panes per floor, and end bays both with two such panes of lighter glass. At the top three floors the windows are further divided into narrower panes, and thin vertical metal strips also run down the two glass piers.

The north façade, which faces 25th Street, has thin vertical strip lights to the left of the large three-part windows whose right side wall is angled. Some of this façade's windows have the smaller two parts of the windows enclosed in a narrow and thin box of bronze-colored metal. This façade has five bays that occupy the bottom two and top three floors. The main entrance is at the west end of the ground floor, with double-doors below a small, bronze-colored metal canopy.

The west façade, which faces the High Line and the Hudson River, has large terraces with metal railings, the top three of which are cantilevered over the floors below.

The building contains seven full-floor condominium units and a duplex penthouse on top. L’Observatoire International designed the façade lighting.
