Essex Crossing Site 3

The condo building at 202 Broome Street will extend through 104,594 Sq Ft of residential units, as well as 153,819 Sq Ft of commercial space – a major chunk of Essex Crossing’s Market Line, the collection of shops stretching to the Essex Crossing “Gateway” building across Norfolk Street.
A portion of The Market Line will be housed in the building’s lower level, and there will be 16,000 Sq Ft of retail space on the ground floor (the so-called “modern bazaar”).
Floors second through fifth will be home to 75,000 Sq Ft of office space.

A research in multi-material

A unique bronze-toned metal cladding was designed for the podium.
The main feature of the curtain wall’s units is the number of materials used in their decoration.
Bricks (recalling one of the NYC most traditional materials), white terracotta, and wave-shaped custom metal extrusions for the balconies, mimicking the pattern obtained with the white terracotta.
The building’s facade is distant from the typical, 100% glass NYC facade.
A design and engineering work on such a level of detail required to bring AZA INT expertise “really upfront”, as Charles Thomson of CetraRuddy says about their collaboration with us.
“Normally you visualize things through computer models, you mimic small scale mock-ups, but you don’t get mock-ups that early in the process, so that’s really helpful.”
