Manhattan Gets Its First Gold-Brick Building

This spring, Manhattan will get the first hand-laid gilded bronze brick building at 196 Orchard Street on the Lower East Side. The 94-residence condominium building is the result of a collaboration between Adam Rolston at INC (who developed the interior design) and Ben Shaoul, founder of Magnum Real Estate Group and co-developed by REEC. Both saw the potential for a more textured building in an area known for its edgier, artsier vibe.
