You would have to look pretty hard to find a structure that expresses New York City’s recent residential real estate market better than HL23, the luxury condo development now rising on 23rd Street beside the High Line. Designed by Neil M. Denari Architects, the building’s narrow, 38-foot-wide footprint balloons out as it breaches the old elevated railway, steadily widening floor by floor until, at the 12th, it reaches 51 feet wide, projecting some 13 feet to the east of its base. But the apartment building does more than work around all known zoning laws in its attempt to fit onto a difficult plot. It also seems to defy a much more immutable law—gravity. NYA | prev. 1 | 2
