The first building in New York designed by Pritzker Prize-winning master architect Tadao Ando.

Sumaida + Khurana is both developing and through its affiliate, Foundations Group, building, 152 Elizabeth Street. The project is an ultra-luxury condominium building designed by Japanese master architect, Tadao Ando and acclaimed architect of the interior, Michael Gabellini. It is the first building Ando has designed in Manhattan. Located at the corner of Kenmare and Elizabeth Street in Nolita, the 32,000 SF building will stand as a profound architectural statement while embracing the industrial character of the area. The project will incorporate materials that are Ando hallmarks: poured-in-place concrete, galvanized steel, voluminous glass, and natural elements including multiple water features and green walls. The building will rise 7 stories and include a large, rooftop terrace for the penthouse. It will feature 7 highly individualized residences with bespoke options, ranging from 2 bedrooms to 5 bedrooms and each measuring from 1,950 SF to over 5,600 SF.

The collaboration between Ando and Gabellini reflects a purity of design that is unprecedented in a residential project in New York.
