About the Development
At the forefront of a new vision for the future, the striking architectural form of The Visionaire floats upon the skyline like a sail.
World-renowned architects Pelli Clarke Pelli conceived its streamlined contours by focusing on how The Visionaire will be experienced from within, optimising natural light and river and city views. A curved curtain wall of horizontal bands of terra cotta panels and glass casement windows infuses the elegant verticality of the exterior with the warm residential character of Battery Park City. The Visionaire builds on Pelli Clarke Pelli's integrated approach and deep understanding of sustainable architecture, refining a relatively new field into an art.
