Throughout the building, low-e coatings serve to minimize the amount of ultraviolet and infrared light that is allowed to pass through the glass walls, while maximizing the transmission of visible wavelengths.īendheim co-owner Robert Jayson commented, "We are proud to participate in the ongoing revitalization of New York City, including this important development. The choice of a translucent finish for the glass on this floor shields the workspace from glare while creating a glowing exterior. The walls of the second story offices and other selected panels are made of glass with Bendheim's 504 Rough Cast texture. The lower-level walls are primarily made of Bendheim's Clarissimo glass, a clear material allowing extensive river views from the lobby and restaurant areas on the ground floor. Perfectly positioned to reflect Hudson River sunsets, the building's walls are made of 6,400 square feet of Bendheim channel glass in the company's SF60 frame system, installed by David Shuldiner, Inc.
The venue will also provide outdoor screening space for the annual Tribeca Film Festival. The building's rooftop park, nearly two acres in size and open to the public, is the largest of its kind in New York City.
