40 Mercer Street
Jean Nouvel's glass landmark on a full SoHo blockfront.
40 Mercer Street is a luxury condominium designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Jean Nouvel, developed by Hines and completed in 2007. Occupying an entire blockfront on Grand Street between Mercer Street and Broadway, its glass curtain wall and floor-to-ceiling windows made it one of SoHo's first true starchitect condominiums, and it remains among the neighborhood's most recognizable modern buildings.
The building
40 Mercer holds roughly 41 residences behind a custom Nouvel-designed facade of clear and colored glass, many with operable windows and open SoHo light. Interiors run to loft-scaled layouts, and the building offers a level of full-service living uncommon in the low-rise cast-iron district around it.
