Overview

Seeking to add a splash of modernity to the area, Brack Capital is heading up the highly anticipated development at 15 Union Square West. Formerly known as the 19^th century home to Tiffany and Co., the property was sold to Brack late last year who then announced plans for a condominium conversion of the building. The idea behind the project was to create a residential structure that would be a perfect blend of modern style and luxury in order to provide a positive contrast to the hectic and congested Union Square area. In keeping with this idea, Perkins Eastman (a prominent architectural firm with a niche in modern design) was delegated with the architectural design while Vicente Wolf was called upon for the interior design. Far from a skyscraper, (standing merely 12 floors high) the building’s black glass facade definitely strays from the classic architectural structure of its neighbors. Positioned a mere stone-throw from Union Square Park, news of the development has created some excitement amongst potential buyers seeking a luxury residence adjacent to one of the most popular parks in the area.
