88 & 90 Lex is proof that opposites attract. HFZ Capital has successfully united the two buildings of different styles and heights into one major condominium project in the heart of NoMad. Built in 1927, 88 Lexington Avenue is a tall and classic pre-war building with Art Deco details designed by Necarsulmer & Lehlbach. 90 Lexington Avenue was constructed in 1959 and designed by Carson & Lundin, originally as an office building. In 2015, HFZ Capital undertook a top-to-bottom renovation of the two buildings – the 17-story pre-war and 13-story post-war – into one large condo conversion project consisting of 301 condominiums. 90 Lex has received a new façade of sand-colored stone with sharp, clean lines surrounding its windows.
