Sutton Tower, the tallest residential building along Manhattan\u2019s East Side waterfront, and the first skyscraper in the world by designer Thomas Juul-Hansen, received the renowned 2025 BLT Built Design Award for the \u201cArchitectural Design: Skyscraper\u201d category.<\/p>\n

Developed by JVP Development and Gamma Real Estate, the 259-m (850-ft) tower has been recognized for its architectural innovation, design, and craftsmanship.<\/p>\n

The tower features a Bavarian limestone facade from base to crown. Its exterior is divided into two sections: the lower portion mirrors the historic surrounding neighborhood, while the upper portion uses expansive glass to emphasize scale. A champagne-colored crown with geometric facets adds a dynamic element to the skyline.<\/p>\n

The BLT Built Design Awards recognize excellence in global architecture, interiors, and construction, recognizing projects that push the boundaries of creativity and functionality. Selected by an international jury of architects, designers, and industry leaders, winners are honored for works that demonstrate innovation, craftsmanship, and lasting design impact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
