Visionary Architect Rafael Viñoly’s Modern 55-Story Tower 277 Fifth Tops Out

3/19/18

Bespoke Building Developed by Victor Group and Lendlease Redefines the NoMad Skyline

Victor Group and Lendlease today announced 277 Fifth Avenue, a striking timeless modern glass tower designed by internationally acclaimed architect Rafael Viñoly, has topped out and stands at its full height of 663 feet. Shokai is the preferred equity investor behind the impressive 55-story tower that makes an indelible addition to the skyline of Manhattan’s NoMad neighborhood, one of the most popular and sought-after areas for new residential, dining and lifestyle amenities. The ultra-luxury condominium, with interiors by Jeffrey Beers International, features breathtaking, panoramic views that stretch from the Empire State and Chrysler buildings, all the way to the East and Hudson Rivers, Lower Manhattan, and beyond.

Viñoly’s vision for 277 Fifth Avenue, one of the tallest towers in NoMad, leaves a lasting impression on an iconic New York streetscape. His contemporary design for the building, which stands at the southeast corner of Fifth Avenue and 30th Street, features elegant proportions and corner exposures through floor-to-ceiling windows from every residence and a façade composed of high-performance cast panels, custom fabricated in Finland in a bespoke Indigo color. A standout feature of the tower’s design is a quartet of distinguished loggias—sheltered, double-height, open-air spaces for leisure and entertaining.

“The tower’s official topping out is an important milestone for all of the teams that continue to collaborate and bring the bold collective vision for this unique development to life,” said Ran Korolik, executive vice president of Victor Group. “277 Fifth Avenue is a truly special endeavor that we’re proud to deliver in collaboration with Lendlease and Shokai.”

277 Fifth Avenue features a distinguished collection of 130 one- to four-bedroom residences with closings commencing later this year. The double-height, open-air loggias spiraling downward from the top of the tower are seemingly carved out of the building’s corner. The first Loggia Residence is listed for $9.2 million. Situated on the tower’s uppermost floors are three penthouses—each with four-bedrooms; ceiling heights in excess of 13 feet; and expansive living, dining, and family rooms with multiple exposures.

“Interest has been very strong at 277 Fifth Avenue due to Viñoly’s signature architecture the tower’s enviable location in Manhattan’s most sought-after and centrally located neighborhood,” said Melissa Burch, Executive Vice President of Lendlease. “We’re happy to announce that residents will be able to move-in this year and begin to enjoy the one-of-a-kind lifestyle of 277 Fifth Avenue.”

Jeffrey Beers International designed the tower’s column-free layouts with wide plank American white oak flooring and custom door hardware throughout. Contemporary, high-performance kitchens boast fully-integrated Miele appliances; light stained white oak cabinetry; Calacatta Saccheli polished marble slab countertops, backsplash with integrated cooktop niches and island countertop with waterfall edges; and undermount Blanco stainless steel sinks. Sumptuous master bathrooms are adorned with Bianco Dolomiti marble tile flooring and San Nicola marble tile walls. Each elegant oasis is outfitted with a custom walnut vanity, Kohler Kathryn sinks, Dornbracht LULU series facets, and a Kaldewei Puro Duo steel enamel bathtub.

277 Fifth Avenue residents will enjoy exclusive access to two levels of curated amenities connected by a dramatic, curving staircase. Features of this private club include a gorgeous Lobby Library with a dramatic, double-height bookcase wall; entertaining suite with separate bar and kitchen pantry; private dining room; Kids’ Club; Games Lounge with custom ping pong table; Fitness Club with separate training/yoga studio as well as Men’s and Women’s Spa with steam/sauna rooms; and furnished Fifth Avenue Terrace. The full-service residential experience at the property will also include private storage/bike storage, pet priority program, dry cleaning program and vehicle concierge, as well as full-time doorman/concierge.
