160 Leroy Street
Herzog & de Meuron’s West Village Masterpiece
About 160 Leroy Street
160 Leroy Street is one of those rare buildings that brings together two of the most influential creative forces in their respective fields. Developed by Ian Schrager—the hotelier and nightlife visionary behind Studio 54, the Morgans Hotel Group, and the EDITION brand—and the Witkoff Group, with architecture by Herzog & de Meuron, the Pritzker Prize-winning Swiss firm behind the Tate Modern, the Bird's Nest in Beijing, and 56 Leonard in Tribeca. Delivered in 2017, this 16-story building on the far West Village waterfront represents Schrager's vision of what he calls the public art of private living. We've always seen this as a project where the developer's taste and the architect's genius were genuinely aligned, producing something more coherent than most celebrity collaborations.
Herzog & de Meuron's design for 160 Leroy is immediately striking. The building features a distinctive stacked-box composition with cantilevered volumes that shift and project at different levels, creating an animated facade of interlocking glass and concrete forms. Private outdoor terraces are integrated into the architecture through these setbacks, giving many residences dramatic covered outdoor spaces with river views. The interiors maintain the firm's signature approach—raw materials refined to a high standard, with exposed concrete, custom bronze hardware, and floor-to-ceiling glass. Layouts are generous and open, designed for a lifestyle that moves seamlessly between indoor and outdoor living. The building sits directly on the West Village waterfront, steps from the Hudson River Park.
In market terms, 160 Leroy competes at the upper end of the West Village and West Chelsea luxury segments. It draws comparison to 150 Charles Street, the Abingdon, and even 56 Leonard—another Herzog & de Meuron project nearby in Tribeca. The buyer profile is distinctive: these are people who value design authorship, who want a building that makes an architectural statement, and who are drawn to the West Village's intimate, residential character combined with Hudson River waterfront access. Schrager's involvement adds a lifestyle dimension that pure architecture plays sometimes lack. We find that clients who end up here have typically looked at everything in the West Village and concluded that 160 Leroy offers something no other building in the neighborhood can match.

Why Buyers Choose 160 Leroy Street
Herzog & de Meuron's Architectural Vision
The primary draw of 160 Leroy is the architecture. Herzog & de Meuron are responsible for some of the most important buildings of the 21st century—the Tate Modern, the Bird's Nest Olympic Stadium, the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg—and their residential work in New York is limited to just a few projects. The stacked-box design at 160 Leroy is immediately recognizable as their work: bold in form, precise in execution, and deeply considered in how it engages with its site and context. For buyers who care about living in a building designed by architects of genuine global significance, the roster of options is extremely short, and 160 Leroy is on it.
Private Terraces With Hudson River Views
The outdoor spaces at 160 Leroy are among the most compelling in the West Village. Because Herzog & de Meuron's design creates setbacks and cantilevers at various levels, many residences include substantial private terraces that are architecturally integrated rather than tacked on. Combined with the building's waterfront position, these terraces offer views over the Hudson River, sunsets over New Jersey, and an open-air living experience that is rare in Manhattan. We consistently find that buyers who visit terrace units are profoundly affected by the outdoor spaces—they change the way the apartment feels and lives, especially during warmer months.
Ian Schrager's Lifestyle Sensibility
Ian Schrager is not a conventional developer, and that difference is palpable at 160 Leroy. His career creating transformative hotel experiences—Studio 54, Morgans Hotel, the EDITION—has given him an instinct for atmosphere, service, and experiential quality that translates directly into residential development. Common spaces feel curated rather than perfunctory. The lobby, the amenity areas, the way the building operates day-to-day—all of it reflects Schrager's attention to how people actually experience a space. For buyers who value lifestyle as much as square footage, his involvement adds a dimension that most residential buildings lack entirely.
The West Village Waterfront Address
160 Leroy's location on the far western edge of the West Village places it at the intersection of two highly desirable environments: the intimate, tree-lined streets and independent character of the Village and the open, park-lined waterfront of the Hudson River. Residents can walk east into one of Manhattan's most charming neighborhoods for dinner, or step outside and run along the river. The Whitney Museum, the High Line, and the Meatpacking District are all within easy walking distance. We think of this location as offering the best version of West Village living—the neighborhood's character enhanced by waterfront access and cultural proximity that the interior blocks don't provide.
Our Perspective on 160 Leroy Street
160 Leroy Street is a building we recommend to clients who are looking for something with genuine design conviction. The combination of Ian Schrager's lifestyle vision with Herzog & de Meuron's architectural talent produced a building that stands out even in a West Village market full of excellent options. At 16 stories, it's not competing on height—it's competing on design quality, outdoor living, and the experiential sensibility that Schrager brings to everything he touches.
The architecture is the lead story here. Herzog & de Meuron's stacked-box composition creates a building that is visually dynamic from every angle, with cantilevered volumes and integrated terraces that make each residence feel distinct. The material palette—exposed concrete, bronze hardware, floor-to-ceiling glass—reflects the firm's commitment to honest, refined materiality. These are not generic luxury interiors; they have a specificity and character that comes from working with architects who think carefully about every detail.
The West Village waterfront location adds significantly to the appeal. You have Hudson River Park at your doorstep, the Whitney Museum within walking distance, and the intimate streets of the Village just blocks east. It's a location that offers both openness and neighborhood character—a combination that is genuinely difficult to find in Manhattan.
Where we'd offer honest guidance: the 16-story height means this is not a views-driven building in the way that supertall towers are. If panoramic skyline views from great height are your priority, you'll need to look elsewhere. The far west location, while beautiful, is a few blocks removed from the subway lines that serve the Village core, which matters for daily commuters. And the exposed-concrete aesthetic, while architecturally distinguished, is a specific taste that not every buyer shares. But for clients who value design authorship, outdoor living, and a building created by two of the most important creative forces in their fields, 160 Leroy is a building we show with genuine enthusiasm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is behind 160 Leroy Street?
The building is a collaboration between Ian Schrager, the legendary hotelier and lifestyle visionary known for Studio 54 and the EDITION hotels, the Witkoff Group, and Herzog & de Meuron, the Swiss architecture firm that won the Pritzker Prize. This combination of a developer with extraordinary taste and architects with a world-class portfolio is rare in residential real estate. The building was delivered in 2017 and represents one of the most significant design collaborations in recent New York development.
What does 160 Leroy Street look like architecturally?
Herzog & de Meuron designed the building with a distinctive stacked-box composition—cantilevered volumes that shift and project at different levels, creating an animated, sculptural facade. The interplay of glass and concrete, the integrated terraces created by the setbacks, and the building's relationship to the waterfront all reflect the firm's characteristic approach to form and materiality. It's a building that photographs well but is even more compelling in person, where you can appreciate the scale and precision of the design.
What is the interior design like at 160 Leroy?
Interiors reflect Herzog & de Meuron's signature material palette: exposed concrete ceilings, custom bronze hardware, floor-to-ceiling glass, and high-quality wood and stone finishes. The approach is refined but honest—materials are celebrated for what they are rather than concealed behind layers of ornament. Kitchens and bathrooms are fully appointed with premium fixtures. The overall aesthetic is sophisticated, slightly raw, and distinctly European in sensibility. Layouts are open and generous, designed to connect indoor living with the outdoor terraces and river views.
What outdoor spaces does 160 Leroy offer?
One of the building's defining features is the integration of private outdoor terraces into the architecture itself. The cantilevered, stacked-box design creates covered outdoor spaces at various levels, giving many residences substantial terraces with views of the Hudson River and the West Village. These aren't bolted-on balconies—they're integral to Herzog & de Meuron's design concept. The building's waterfront location means terrace living comes with river breezes and sunset views. We consider these terraces among the best private outdoor spaces in the West Village.
What is the West Village waterfront like as a residential location?
The far western edge of the West Village, where 160 Leroy sits, has evolved into one of Manhattan's most desirable residential pockets. You're steps from the Hudson River Park and its bike paths, sports facilities, and green spaces. The Whitney Museum is nearby, along with the High Line and the Meatpacking District's dining and nightlife. Yet you're also within walking distance of the West Village's tree-lined residential streets, independent restaurants, and boutique shops. It's a location that combines waterfront openness with neighborhood intimacy.
How does 160 Leroy compare to 150 Charles Street?
Both are premium West Village waterfront buildings, but they take very different approaches. 150 Charles Street, designed by Cookfox, has a more traditional red-brick aesthetic that blends with the Village streetscape. 160 Leroy, by Herzog & de Meuron, is a more overtly contemporary architectural statement. We show both to clients who are focused on this neighborhood and find that the choice often comes down to design preference: do you want a building that harmonizes with the Village, or one that stands as a modern counterpoint to it? Both are excellent, but the experiences are quite different.
What is the Ian Schrager influence on 160 Leroy?
Schrager's involvement goes beyond typical developer oversight. He brings a hospitality-informed sensibility to residential living—attention to the experiential details, the way common spaces feel, the quality of service, and the overall atmosphere of the building. His career creating iconic hotel experiences translates into a residential building where the lifestyle dimension feels considered and intentional. Schrager has described his vision as the public art of private living, and that philosophy is evident in how 160 Leroy functions day-to-day.
What type of buyer is drawn to 160 Leroy Street?
We typically see design-forward buyers who want architectural authorship in their home. Many are in creative fields—art, fashion, media, architecture—and they want a building that reflects their sensibility. There are also buyers drawn to the Ian Schrager name and what it represents in terms of lifestyle curation. International buyers, particularly from Europe, respond strongly to Herzog & de Meuron's reputation. The common thread is sophistication: these are buyers who have done their research and know exactly what sets this building apart from everything else.
