How glass is made and what it offers
The 75,000 square metres façade features a curtain wall that is double glazed to allow for a high solar protection on neutral-looking glass.
The new-build façades are predominately brick-faced, with punched windows to reflect the surrounding context.
Curved glass, punch windows and precast stone panels make up the envelope on a figure-of-eight footprint.

At 1.1 million square feet and spanning a full city block, Front & York is an unmistakable landmark in DUMBO, Brooklyn. The architecture draws inspiration from the nearby Manhattan Bridge to reflect the industrial history of the area. A pair of 21-story buildings rise from a unifying podium, featuring 2,500 factory-style windows bathing each home in natural light. SunGuard™ SN 68 on clear was selected for its clarity and transparency, allowing residents to fully appreciate the panoramic views. The glass also helps put a contemporary reinterpretation on DUMBO’s historic warehouse aesthetic, leaving a lasting impact on the neighborhood’s skyline.
