The building will be composed of 130 residences of which every unit will be a corner unit, something very unique and coveted. Residences range in size from 1 bedroom to 4 bedroom penthouses. Every home will feature either a living room or master bedroom with corner exposures.

Residences are immediately greeted upon entering the building with an impressive double-height lobby. The sense of space and light are carried into the residences which feature 10-11 ft ceilings in the living spaces as well as floor-to-ceiling glass walls. There is a small collection of very unique “Loggia Residences”, 4 to be exact, which feature ceiling heights up to 20 feet and private, double-height, outdoor loggias.

Residences

The interior of the shared spaces as well as the private residences are designed by Jeffrey Beers International. Born and raised in New York, Beers has designed some of the interiors for the best restaurants in the city such as Porter House as well as boutique hotels. When thinking about the interiors for 277 5th, he wanted something that complimented and worked off of Vinoly’s sleek, tailored exterior, something that reminded him of home.

To bring is vision to life, Beers selected a warm color palette opting for materials such as travertine, oak, walnut, and onyx. These materials create a palette throughout that is filled with warm, earth tones.

Kitchens feature pale oak cabinets and white Italian marble countertops with integrated Miele appliances. Natural colors are continued throughout the bathrooms with master bathroom featuring Bianco Dolomiti marble tile flooring, custom walnut vanity, and a steel enamel tub. Secondary bathrooms and power rooms have similar finishes.

In addition to the selection of finishes, all residences are designed for views, taking in the vistas of the skyline. Kitchens and baths are centered around views thanks to floor-to-ceiling window walls.
