Álvaro Siza’s first building in the USA will be going up in Hell's Kitchen with sales expected to launch this month. The rising 37-story tower at 611 West 56th Street will be the 86yr-old Pritzker Prize-winning architect’s first high-rise in the United States and largest project to date. The building will contain 80 units, ranging from one-bedrooms starting at $1.26 million to full-floor four-bedroom apartments priced over $11 million. There will be one penthouse with a private terrace, though details about its price haven’t been made public yet. Amenities include fitness, yoga and boxing rooms, a children’s playroom, a dining room with a catering kitchen, a library, a media room with a billiards table, and a laundry room. Alvaro has also won the Royal Institute of British Architects’ Gold Medal and the American Institute of Architects’ Gold Medal.
