Consisting of a 120-room, five-star hotel on the building\u2019s first 12 floors, 60 luxury condominiums on the upper 32 tower floors, and a 27,500 SF white box on the ground floor and two below-grade levels (housing the New York Public Library\u2019s Donnell branch), the project attained LEED Silver.    <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Designed by SOM, the project is positioned as the last word in urban luxury. On the second floor, a 50-foot crystal bar pavilion is surrounded by an outdoor terrace, while other amenities include a spa with a 55-foot indoor pool, a fitness facility and an upscale restaurant at street level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Baccarat\u2019s north and south elevations feature curtainwall, and a sleek, black metal fa\u00e7ade east and west, surfaces are inspired by the neighboring MoMA designed by Edward Durell Stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the location on 53rd Street \u2013 directly across from MoMA, close to landmarked St. Thomas Church and immediately adjacent to four other commercial properties, as well as the MTA subway running under West 53rd Street \u2013 this project presented some logistical challenges. The constrained urban site meant ensuring that all pedestrians and adjacent buildings were well protected during superstructure and exterior wall erection. We located our vertical hoist on the southwest corner of the building, and our tower crane to the northeast: every square foot of the building\u2019s footprint was used to accommodate the logistical demands to deliver this project properly and safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"aecom-custom-block block-facts\"\n    style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 40px\">\n\n            <h2>Project Highlights<\/h2>\n        <ul class=\"list-style-check\">\n                    <li>\n                                    LEED Silver                            <\/li>\n            <\/ul>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":6018,"template":"","tags":[1062],"city":[7],"class_list":["post-5860","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-aecomtishman","city-new-york"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/5860","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/5860\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6018"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5860"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5860"},{"taxonomy":"city","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.archtam.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/city?post=5860"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
