Towering Above

One trend gaining popularity is residential developments with multiple towers. By incorporating multiple towers, developers can create a unique and eye-catching design, as well as offer a wider variety of housing options for residents. Abode2 visits three outstanding residential developments featuring at least two towers, that are offering this unique and luxurious living experience

One High Line

Developed by Witkoff Group & Access Industries, One High Line is a luxury condominium project spanning a full city block in Manhattan's West Chelsea neighbourhood. One High Line is comprised of two sculptural twisting travertine towers designed by the world-class Danish architect Bjarke Ingels, with interiors in the 36-story West Tower by New York-based Gabellini Sheppard and in the 26-story East Tower by Paris-based Gilles & Boissier.
