The Herzog & de Meuron–designed 160 Leroy Street has finally offered up listing information for its West Village mid-rise condominiums.

It can be difficult to stand out in a city with over 8.4 million people. Some creative starchitects have taken on the task of making this feat a little simpler by designing buildings that are just as unique as their homeowners. Most of them seem to come from decades into the future, but with some forward-thinking and innovation, these six buildings found their way to our time and are unmissable. 

215 Chrystie is ready to reach the skies on the Lower East Side, one of Manhattan’s fashionable neighborhoods. Swiss starchitecture firm Herzog & de Meuron, designed this modern, sleek hotel-condominium, and it was developed by hotelier Ian Schrager last year for $50 million. World-renowned John Pawson is the interior designer. The Swiss firm have also designed their new condo at 56 Leonard Street.

Cary Tamarkin’s buildings have been well-regarded for their understated design and contextual awareness, and the rising new construction at 10 Sullivan Street (pictured) is no exception. Noted for his superb use of robust materials and black ribbon casement windows, Mr. Tamarkin applied these same principles to 10 Sullivan, which despite its unusual footprint blends perfectly with Lower Manhattan’s loft conversions.

15 Renwick – the new condo in Hudson Square with a unique marketing cast of steampunk and Victorian characters – will soon release its super-limited parking spaces to the market, and each of the three slots in the 1,000 square foot garage is expected to sell for a cool $1 million.
