Carter's Review
This very attractive 12-story, 49-unit apartment building at 160 Leroy Street, across from Pier 40 in the West Village, was designed by Herzog & de Meuron, the designs of the Olympic “Bird’s Nest” Stadium in Beijing, 40 Bond Street and 56 Leonard Street. The development team includes Ian Schrager, the builder of 40 Bond Street and co-founder of Studio 54, the Vector Group that is headed by Howard Lorber, chairman of Douglas Elliman, and the Witkoff Group that is headed by Steve Wykoff.
All residences feature floor-to-ceiling windows, soaring ceilings, open floor plans, chef's kitchens, and prewiring for smart home technology. Building amenities include doorman, concierge, fitness center, pool and spa, lounge, garden, courtyard, bike room, and on-site parking.

Description
The building has large, gentle curves and its windows are considerably inset and have awnings.
The end bays have inset balconies.
The mechanical spaces on the roof will be setback and curved similarly to the rest of the building.
