Superior Ink is Robert A.M. Stern's contextual Far West Village trophy commission for Related Companies, built on the former Superior Ink factory site with Yabu Pushelberg interiors.
Few 2009-era projects assembled a team this institutional: the Stern / Related / Yabu Pushelberg pairing of starchitect, developer, and interior designer set the building's pedigree from the start. Their contextual red-brick architecture answers directly to the industrial heritage of the Far West Village rather than imposing on it. And the program spans both trophy formats at once — 62-75 condominium residences alongside 7 Bethune Street townhouses, vertical and horizontal living under one development.
