Valyrian Capital has released a new rendering of their new SoHo condominium building at 54 MacDougal Street, developed in collaboration with Ajax Partners. Much remains the same as the initial rendering, with the outcome promising to be a 6-story, 55-foot-tall building clad in a handsome redbrick façade with exposed steel framing the floor-to-ceiling windows. However, where the exterior design previously depicted an arched window on the sixth floor façade, the new rendering reveals a rectangular window that maintains the style of the previous floors. The brick cornice will still enhance the building’s crown. The 12,000-square-foot building will also feature Juliet balconies on its third through fifth floors and window exposures along three faces.
