The 101 Warren Street is a two story retail podium mixed with a 35 story residential tower which designed by firm SOM. Thomas Balsley Associates designed the 101 pine tree forest, which residents and surrounding buildings can look down upon. The urban forest is thought to be a one of a kind project and residents can walk amidst the pines and enjoy the serenity in the heart of Manhattan.

The building’s tower is mostly luxury condominiums, but also features market rate, middle and low income rentals for a total of 383 apartments. Luxury condos are located in the tower with better views, while the more affordable residences are located in the middle. Constructed out of a lacework of vertical stone piers, recessed glass pockets behind the stone give residents light filled balconies.

The two story podium, constructed in a similar fashion with Jura stone, contains mixed-use commercial space and includes some big name retailers like Bed Bath & Beyond, Whole Foods, and Barnes & Noble. On top of the commercial podium is a large courtyard and park for the residents of the building. Dubbed the “forest-floor”, this level is accessed by residents via their lounge and a deck with lounge chairs allow the residents to fully appreciate their own private urban forest. Planted in a formation of mounded ellipse shaped forms in piles of river stones, 101 Austrian Pines grace the deck of the building.
