LUXURY HOMES
The architecture team at Skidmore, Owings
& Merrill are responsible for orchestrating
the project’s complex restoration, along with
Building Conservation Associates, Inc and Higgins
Quasebarth & Partners LLC.
“It is both an honor and an enormous responsibility
to be overseeing this next iteration of the legendary
Waldorf Astoria New York. We started this project
from a place of profound respect for the building’s
heritage, and detailed research into its history,
including all of the changes made to it over the
years. We are not only returning the building to its
former glory, but also adapting it and making it
relevant for future generations,” said Frank Mahan,
Associate Director of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill.
In homage to the Waldorf’s long history of arts
patronage, residents will enjoy artwork curated
and commissioned by world-renowned auctioneer
and collector Simon de Pury. For the collection,
de Pury focused on dynamic emerging artists from
around the world to develop custom works for
private residential amenity spaces and communal
areas, which will be owned by the condominium
association.
Douglas Elliman Development Marketing is the
exclusive marketing and sales agent. “This will be
an exciting opportunity for buyers to own a piece
of New York City history. We aren’t just selling
extraordinarily beautiful residences, amenities and
services; we’re offering the opportunity to buy into
a legacy that can never again be duplicated,” said
Dan Tubb, Senior Director of Sales at The Towers of
the Waldorf Astoria. “There is no more glamorous
residential lifestyle in New York City, and we are
very excited about bringing The Towers to the
market after receiving thousands of inquiries from
as close as Park Avenue to the far corners of the
world.”
The Towers of the Waldorf Astoria will offer 375
residences starting from $1.7 million. Occupancy
is projected for 2022. For more information, please
