Construction of the 40 Bond residences, designed by Herzog & deMeuron, is proceeding rapidly. Another fine example of using brand-name architects to boost sales and marketing, these high-end condominiums stand out from the field thanks to their ingenious façade treatment. Cast glass, reminiscent of the cast iron seen throughout the neighborhood, is hung off of the steel structure. The overall effect, especially in bright sunlight, is stunningly beautiful.
