15 William Street (William Beaver House)
15 William Street, New York, NY 10005
- Year built
- 2008
15 William Street (William Beaver House) is André Balazs's only NYC ground-up residential development at the time — a 2008 Tsao & McKown 47-story condominium with cantilevered massing distinguishing the FiDi corridor skyline.
The structural identity rests on three features. First, the André Balazs developer pedigree — Balazs's broader hospitality portfolio includes the Mercer Hotel, Sunset Tower, Chateau Marmont, and the Standard hotels. Second, the Tsao & McKown / Ismael Leyva / SLCE architect team — the Tsao & McKown lobby design produced one of the most architecturally distinctive residential lobby interiors in 2008-era NYC residential. Third, the cantilevered massing at the upper floors — structurally distinguishing the building from peer FiDi inventory.
