The 42-story, red-brick, mixed-use tower known as One Carnegie Hill on the north side of 96th Street between Third and Second Avenues has been topped out.
It has been developed by The Related Companies that also build the large, curved apartment tower known as The Monterey on the northwest corner of 96th Street and Third Avenue.
The two buildings now nicely frame the Islamic Cultural Center, which is on the northeast corner of 96th Street and Third Avenue and the new tower incorporates a 63,000-square-foot community facility for the center that has its own entrance on 96th Street. The Islamic Cultural Center was designed in 1991 by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and its minaret was designed by Swanke Hayden Connell. The mosque is oriented towards Mecca.
The new tower, which is the tallest on East 96th Street, has rental apartments in its lower half and condominium apartments in the top. The 475 rental and condominium units share a common lobby, which is unusual.
HLW International is the architect of the new tower.
