LOCATION
In the last decade, new developments designed by world-class architects have grown up in the handful of waterfront lots available in the West Village. Schrager identified the site of 160 Leroy as the last chance to create an important contemporary addition to this special neighborhood and possibly the last chance to own a home on the water in the West Village. Stretching a full city block, set on a plinth of white concrete and floating on a bed of light, the building connects with the surrounding streets while also seeming to hover above them—like a spaceship, with its illuminated base that glows at night.
BUILDING
"I am not attracted to straight angles or to the straight line, hard and inflexible, created by man. I am attracted to free-flowing, sensual curves. The curves that I find in the mountains of my country, in the sinuousness of its rivers, in the waves of the ocean, and on the body of the beloved woman. Curves make up the entire Universe." –OSCAR NIEMEYER
Inspired by the philosophy of the great Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer, 160 Leroy is exactly as Niemeyer describes: curvaceous, sensual, free-flowing, seductive and sexy. Much like at the hand of a sculptor, this Herzog & de Meuron creation possesses a tactile quality and evokes a sense of purity and pristineness with its white concrete façade and diamond faceted floor-to-ceiling windows that reflect the sky and the water. There is a distinctive inherent rhythm to the building, making it otherworldly at any perspective. The building reaches 14 stories high and contains 57 one-of-a-kind residences.
PRIVATE COURTYARD & GARDEN
Residents cross through the arched entryway of the building into a lush private landscaped courtyard and find themselves immersed in a serene, pastoral garden designed by Madison Cox, with a specially chosen 30-foot willow tree, boxwood hedges, ivy covered walls, undulating lawn and benches for enjoying the space. If it weren’t for the old-world New York City cobblestones that pave the driveway, you wouldn’t even know you were in New York City. “The courtyard is one of the many features that sets 160 Leroy apart from all other new residences in the city,” says Schrager. “It’s a separate intense reality. The experience of arriving at 160 Leroy will be transformative.”
LOBBY
Inside, the lobby’s curving, specially imported glass walls bring the atmosphere of the verdant courtyard indoors—blurring the distinction between inside and outside—where the cobblestone gives way to imported Pietra Serena floors—it is like going on a journey from the sidewalks of 19th century old New York to the sidewalks of Florence and ending up back in New York again in the 21st century. Framed in rich mahogany, the custom designed glass evokes the luxurious window vitrines of a fin de siècle Viennese department store. Fluted mahogany panels are dramatically uplit to create an intimate but welcoming entry that glows invitingly in the evening.
INTERIORS
Despite its shape, 160 Leroy was designed from the inside out. The bespoke layouts of the 57 one-of-a- kind apartments are spacious and comfortable, maximizing the expansive views of the Freedom Tower, the Hudson River, North towards the George Washington Bridge and city views East. Some of the apartments even possess views East and West from the same Great Room for rare idyllic sunrise and sunset views. The layouts were designed for the modern lifestyle—open floor plans to accommodate both entertaining and family life, with just the right amount of privacy. “The only thing that mattered to me was to turn a residential apartment into a real home,” says Schrager, “I sought to capture the details of life in the details of the architecture.” The thoughtful layouts maximize light and views while taking into consideration a specific market of art collectors by offering an abundance of wall space for hanging art.

Consistent with the goal of keeping residential living intimate at 160 Leroy, multiple separate and individual elevator banks located throughout the building allow for entering a residence to feel private and more like entering a free standing home. A feeling of chic sophistication permeates each residence, with wide-plank Larch wood floors imported from Scandinavia; lofty 11-foot to 13-foot ceilings; floor-to-ceiling operable, special triple glazed and insulated windows sound rated to 40 DB for 100% exterior noise reduction; custom designed bathrooms—each unique from the other; the best finishes; and blackened steel double-sided wood burning fireplaces with dramatic floating hearths, all redefining comfort for the contemporary, urban home. World-renowned French designer Christian Liaigre has designed—exclusively for this project— special, original and new furniture and furniture layouts as well as custom furniture packages available for residents to purchase; and British lighting designer Arnold Chan has created custom flexible lighting—it is a truly international effort.
