Here's a little bit of info from Denari:
--
HL23 is noted theorist Neil Denari’s first freestanding building and quite a special project for New York City in many respects.

The avant garde design will become reality thanks to seven separate one-time exceptions to zoning law by the City of New York’s Department of Planning, and the building is already expected to become a landmark in the heart of the West Chelsea district.

Built to LEED Gold Certification environmental standards, it will be the subject of an entire museum exhibition.
