We couldn’t be more pleased with the final result of this awesome addition to the Fulton Market district.
Although the original rendering called for a red brick, the architect at HPA instead fell in love with this “Black Diamond” brick from Summit Lakewood — and who can blame him? Following the creation of countless mockup panels, including one towering 25′ high, the brick choice was approved by developer Shapack Partners. This attention to detail and careful evaluation paid off, as the building recently fetched a record price upon its sale!
The modular size was mandated by the Landmarks team, and a number of special lipped shapes were also custom-made for this project by the manufacturer. The classic warehouse-style architecture blends in perfectly with the surrounding historic district, while the black brick keeps this property refreshingly modern as well.
