Related Companies and Neiman Marcus unveiled a model residence at Fifteen Hudson Yards, the site’s first tower with for-sale residences, designed and styled by Ken Downing, fashion director for Neiman Marcus.
Inspired by decades of travels to the world’s fashion capitals, a passion for art collecting, and the building’s sweeping skyline views, Downing’s design interprets Neiman Marcus’ distinct, luxury jet-set style for New York City. Select items curated for the residence are available for purchase through a brand-new Neiman Marcus microsite which launched and can be viewed at neimanmarcus.com/fifteenhudsonyards.
Fifteen Hudson Yards, designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro in collaboration with Rockwell Group, offers a collection of 285 one to four bedroom condominium residences paired with a suite of all-encompassing lifestyle amenities and services that come with living at Hudson Yards. The first residences of Fifteen Hudson Yards are anticipated to move in later this year and the Hudson Yards neighborhood is on track to open in Spring 2019. This will include The Shops at Hudson Yards, which is anchored by New York City’s first Neiman Marcus.
“Great design breaks boundaries and creates the unexpected experience that inspires our everyday lives. Art truly satisfies the soul and gives the imagination room to dream,” said Ken Downing. “I have long believed that when you surround yourself with truly inspirational objects, you feel more alive. When I began Fifteen Hudson Yards, I wanted to create a Jewel Box in the sky that was symbolic of the vibrant new neighborhood it towers above. Embracing the bold color and an eclectic mix of furniture and art, Fifteen Hudson Yards is more than a home, it’s a statement.”
A prominent fixture at fashion shows around the world, Downing curates the styles and trends that Neiman Marcus stands for each season. He applied the same approach to the residence, pairing colors from the runway with a diverse selection of art and vibrant textures, to enhance this exceptional space. The model home, 25G, is priced at $4,285,000 and features two-bedrooms and 2.5-bathrooms spanning 1,464 square feet.
“We are thrilled to partner with Neiman Marcus and Ken Downing to create this one of a kind model residence,” said Stephen Earle, senior vice president and creative director, Related Companies. “Ken’s unique ability to capture the creative spirit of Hudson Yards, incorporating fashion, arts, and pop culture sensibilities, is showcased throughout the home. We are excited for Neiman Marcus to be a part of this new neighborhood and to open their doors as the anchors of The Shops at Hudson Yards next year.”
The colors and sculptural elements Downing selected for the residence enhance the sun-drenched, floor-to-ceiling, corner views of the Hudson River and The Hudson Yards Public Square and Gardens. The kitchen, which is open to the great room, is outfitted with a unique freestanding island, custom oak wood cabinetry, and Miele appliances. The corner master bedroom suite features vibrant touches including a lavender Venetian chandelier that hangs above the bed and corner column painted by Brooklyn artist Nathan Green, who incorporated mauve and rose colors inspired by the sunset views. The second bedroom features a library outfitted in a vibrant, peacock teal color paired with the warmth of gold, brass, and wood accents. The residence also features an elegant entry foyer, and a powder room for guests, making this a truly exceptional home.
Neiman Marcus will celebrate the collaboration with a six-page spread in the February Horchow catalog, as well as through digital and social channels, allowing customers to purchase items featured in the model residence. Hudson Yards residents will enjoy a number of exclusive lifestyle benefits and services including in-home design consultation and other styling services. A variety of additional perks will be available when Neiman Marcus’ Hudson Yards flagship opens next year, including invitations to exclusive events and designer launches, in-home tailoring, customized fashion services, and other bespoke offerings.
