fifty-nine-storey structure boasting 214

hotel units and 190 residential units.

In other areas, such as office, commer-

cial and mixed use, SLCE has completed

numerous, well-known projects includ-

ing 510 Madison Avenue. Modern and

sleek in design, the thirty-storey structure

is a Class A office building pursuing LEED

Gold certification and boasting retail

space and a restaurant. The building –

designed in collaboration with Moed de

Armas & Shannon Architects – also has a

health club for office tenants.

Another highly unique project for the

company is The Blue Tower, featuring a

unique geometric design and blue glass

panels. The 42,000-square-foot, sixteen-

storey structure at 101 Norfolk Street

in New York was created under design

architect Bernard Tschumi, with SLCE

serving as executive architect for the thir-

ty-two-unit condominium development

which features first floor retail shops.

SLCE Architects works on projects for

healthcare clients, such as the Children’s

Hospital at Montefiore Medical Center,

with the Rockwell Group serving as

design architect. The ten-storey Bronx-

based hospital has been ranked in the

top fifty in the country in eight pediatric

specialties by U.S. News & World Report.

The 109-bed pediatric center for infants,

children, and adolescents is arranged on

the four floors by patient age. The state-

of-the-art facility also contains a pediatric

critical care unit, along with a day surgery

center, family learning center, and ambu-

latory clinics on the lower floors. The

emergency department accommo-

dates 43,000 pediatric emergency visits

every year, and an extra 10,000-square-

foot renovation of the department was

extremely beneficial.

Along with affordable and senior

housing, assisted living, education and

community institutions, hospitality and entertainment, interiors, planning and other

sectors, SLCE Architects undertakes a significant number of adaptive reuse and res-

toration projects, including New York’s world-famous Woolworth Building, The Mark

Hotel, and Mount Carmel Monastery, which was transformed into adaptive reuse

senior housing.

Projects, such as 184 Kent Avenue in Brooklyn, serve as an example of the firm’s

superior abilities in the adaptive reuse, restoration, and residential arena.

Another example is New York’s 75 Wall Residences – Hyatt Andaz Wall Street. This is a

mixed-use thirty-six-storey hotel and condominium with a total of 600 units: 250 hotel

units and 350 condominium units. SLCE served as executive and design architect,

while the Rockwell Group acted as the project’s interior designer. It has a total space

for condominium and hotel use of 630,000 square feet.

The project saw the famous Wall Street offices of Barclay’s Bank rehabilitated into a

combined luxury hotel and high-end condominiums. Occupying floors five through

sixteen is Andaz, the new luxury brand of hotel suites from Hyatt Corporation, which

features amenities ranging from a spa and conference centers to a rooftop lounge for

residents, fitness center, parking facilities, bar, and restaurant.

Continuing to move forward, SLCE Architects proudly takes on new and often

demanding projects, such as 432 Park Avenue in New York, for which it served as

executive architect. The 130-unit residential structure overlooks Central Park and soars

ninety-six stories (1,396 feet) into the sky, making it the tallest residential tower in the

Western Hemisphere.

The $1.25 billion project was completed in December of 2015 and is the third-tallest

building in the United States and one of the most valuable in America, owing to its

prime location. Along with condominiums, the building has retail space and offices.

From modern residential condominiums and offices to commercial space, senior

housing, healthcare, education, hospitality, and entertainment, SLCE Architects, LLP

welcomes the opportunity to work with clients in the decades to come.

“Over the past three quarters of a century, SLCE has worked on projects for a range of well-

known and respected clients.”
