56 Leonard Street, High-tech skyscraper in Tribeca, Manhattan, United States
The 56 Leonard Street building rises 821 feet with 57 floors, featuring a series of stacked glass cubes that create an angular silhouette against the Manhattan skyline.
Construction of this residential tower began in 2007 but experienced delays due to economic conditions before resuming in 2012 and reaching completion in 2016.
Swiss architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron collaborated with artist Anish Kapoor to integrate a metallic sculpture at the base of the structure in 2023.
The building contains 145 condominium residences ranging from 1,418 to 6,400 square feet, with prices starting at 3.5 million dollars per unit.
Each of the eight full-floor penthouses features ceiling heights between 14 and 19 feet, offering views through floor-to-ceiling windows in all directions.

Jacques Herzog co-founded Herzog & de Meuron with Pierre de Meuron, an architecture firm that has completed projects across multiple continents. The portfolio includes museums, stadiums, residential buildings and cultural centers in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Each project responds to its specific urban context with tailored architectural solutions. Completed works include the conversion of the Tate Modern in London, the National Stadium in Beijing for the 2008 Olympics, the Elbphilharmonie concert hall in Hamburg, and the Pérez Art Museum in Miami. The buildings feature experimental facade treatments and innovative use of materials. Herzog & de Meuron received the Pritzker Prize in 2001.
