Our first look into a residence at 90 Lex, the modern component of HFZ Capital’s pre-war and post-war building conversion project, has fallen short of nothing. HFZ Capital undertook the top-to-bottom renovation of two buildings, a 1927 Necarsulmer & Lehlbach-designed 17-story tower at 88 Lexington Avenue and its neighboring 1959 Carson & Lundin-designed 13-story office building at 90 Lexington Avenue in 2015. The property now hosts a total of 301 luxury condominium residences. 90 Lex now boasts a new sand-colored stone façade with crisp lines around its windows.
