The 277 Fifth Avenue will use a combination of sophisticated proportions and the latest engineering technology, which resembles a boutique hotel.

Interiors of the building feature oversized windows and 10ft-high ceilings.
The floor-to-ceiling windows along the full perimeter of the tower’s residences, all of which have at least one corner exposure, frame magnificent vistas in every direction.
The residences will be crafted with a warm palette of natural materials including richly grained white oak, walnut and Italian marble.
