The new renderings, first published by New York YIMBY, showcase Robert A.M. Stern Architects’ prewar-inspired design for 200 West 88th Street (formerly home to The Mermaid Inn) in full detail. The 215-foot tower will feature a multifaceted facade of beige brick and limestone, punctuated by large rectangular and arched windows. Private terraces created by upper-level setbacks, contrasting black metal paneling on select upper floors, and an Art Deco-style crown with ornamental grilles round out the design. Evening renderings preview facade spotlights that will illuminate the building’s upper levels and decorative top.
