An Architectural Masterpiece in the Heart of the Meatpacking District.
New York City's Meatpacking District is known for its dynamism, compelling history and hip atmosphere, a cross between tradition and innovation. Against this fascinating backdrop rises the majestic 412W15, a new 13-story office building resulting from a collaboration between Rockpoint Group and Atlas Capital, with the creative genius of CetraRuddy Architecture.
Located across from the famous Chelsea Market in the Meatpacking District, the 20-story skyscraper spans 130,000 square feet, featuring a curtain wall of dark metal panels and insulated glass that define its aesthetic.
Initially conceived as a hotel, market fluctuations led to a change of use, resulting in the construction of a commercial building. This building represents the tallest structure in New York's Meatpacking District, featuring a curtain wall system specifically designed for this project
The building façade features casement windows and an understated, elegant glass and aluminum facade. The unitized glazed Facade is prefabricated and shop-glazed, assembled into complete prefabricated units, a flexible system that allows each unit to be produced and assembled independently. The opaque facade, featuring three-dimensional black vertical panels, blends harmoniously with the adjacent historic structure on 14th Street. Complex paneling geometries in the upper floor give the building a unique appearance.
In the heart of New York City's Meatpacking District, where there is an air of vibrancy, history and trendiness, stands 412W15, a massive 13-story office building. The project is the result of a synergy between Rockpoint Group and Atlas Capital, who entrusted the architectural design to CetraRuddy Architecture, a firm known for its creativity and innovation.

“For today’s competitive and challenging work environment, it’s important for the modern office to feel inviting, comfortable and adaptable to ever changing needs,” says Nancy J. Ruddy, founding partner of CetraRuddy. “We have created a highly flexible office space to accommodate the range of working styles in today’s office environment. The connection to the outdoors through terraces and flexibility of space leave behind some traditional office notions and offer additional opportunities to work, socialize and relax.”
