architecture-design · 2026-07-03

In Manhattan, the recently completed 262 Fifth Avenue is an 860-foot, 52-story residential tower developed by Five Points Development Group. This project marks the inaugural collaboration in New York between the Italian design firm Molteni&C, Meganom, and Norm Architects. The tower contains just 26 full-floor and duplex residences, prioritizing spaciousness and unobstructed views with column-free designs. Each residence is crafted by Norm Architects, a studio based in Copenhagen, to serve as a 'sanctuary in the sky,' utilizing natural materials and subtle hues. Molteni&C has provided the 'Prime' kitchen and 'Gliss Master Filo Door' wardrobe system, blending natural stone and wood veneers to merge New York's urban vibe with Italian artistry.
