56 Leonard Street
TriBeCa's most recognizable address - 145 cantilevered residences in the sky.
Rising 60 stories above TriBeCa, 56 Leonard Street is one of downtown Manhattan's most distinctive condominium towers. Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron and developed by Alexico Group, the building's stacked, cantilevered floor plates earned it the nickname the "Jenga Tower." Completed in 2017, it houses 145 residences, each with a unique layout, floor-to-ceiling glass, and private outdoor space on many floors. At street level, Anish Kapoor's mirrored stainless-steel sculpture anchors the entrance, the artist's first permanent public work in New York.
The building
56 Leonard was conceived as "houses stacked in the sky," and no two floors are identical. The upper residences cantilever outwards alongside terraces with open city, river, and skyline views. Interiors feature 10-to-14-foot ceilings, custom kitchens, and floor-to-ceiling glass. The full-service building offers a 75-foot lap pool, fitness center, screening room, library lounge, playroom, a landscaped sun terrace, and 24-hour attended lobby and concierge service.
The neighborhood
TriBeCa pairs cast-iron loft history with some of Manhattan's highest residential prices and a quiet feel below Canal Street. Read more in our TriBeCa real estate guide.
Why buyers choose 56 Leonard
Architecture and views. The cantilevered desisnged is striking. Many units offer private outdoor space found almost nowhere else Downtown, paired with the pedigree of a Herzog & de Meuron building and a full-service amenity suite.
