The new 9-story mixed-use residential and retail building at 470 Columbus features a modern interpretation of traditional Upper West Side design details. The design is cohesive – the warm materials, modern detailing and concepts of screening are carried throughout, with both centered on the contemporary heart of the building; the cleverly disguised, heroic glass windows. In addition to dialoguing directly with the district typology, the project achieved Passive House Low Energy certification, and is the first LPC approved residential condominium built to Passive House standards in Manhattan.
