OMA's first building in Manhattan will be a condo project at 122 East 23rd Street, built in collaboration with Toll Brothers City Living. Designed by OMA's New York principal Shohei Shigematsu, the residential tower culminates a decade leading the office and several previous attempts to realize a project in the region.
Previous attempts include an expansion for the Whitney Museum of American Art (2000), a residential tower at 23 East 22nd Street (2008), an office tower at 425 Park Avenue (2011), and 111 First Street, a mixed-use tower in Jersey City. Shohei Shigematsu is also the designer of this year’s Costume Institute spring exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology.”
Renderings of the Toll Brothers City Living project will be released next month. See previous designs by OMA for the New York region in the images below.
