16-story modernist residential building completed in 1986. Designed by Meltzer/Mandl Architects, it was originally called Townhouse 52. The front facade is clad in dark-brown earthtone brick, with a slightly projecting 7-story section of very light, dusty-pink stucco that appears the float in front. The pink stucco material softens the building s visual mass and covers the façade most visible from the street. The stuccoed section has two bay, with square windows on the right at the 2nd-7th floors, and on the left, recessed sliding doors opening onto semicircular balconies with metal railings. The 2nd floor differs in having an enclosed, semicircular bay of windows consisting of five narrow panes and brown metal framing. Below, the ground floor's entrance has glass double-doors atop three low steps (and a ramp from the right), set in brick.

To the left, there is a metal service door, above which are single-windows and metal panels between floors (in the non-projecting brick section). To the west of the stucco wall, the brick section has a recessed secondary entrance, with a decorative, backlit metal wall leading back to the doorway. The 2nd floor has a projecting cube of black metal with a large plate-glass window, topped by a balcony and metal railing. Above, the west end of the facade has more sliding glass doors and straight balconies with metal railings.

The balconies and projecting stucco section terminate at the 7th floor, with the 8th & 9th floors having three wide bays of windows with metal spandrels between floors. The upper floors are set back, with two bays of double-windows on the right, and projecting, semicircular concrete balconies on the left, at the 10th-14th floors. The top two floors have wide bands of windows.

The building contains 15 condominium units.
