CTBUH New York to Tour 62-Story Tower, ARO

Join the CTBUH New York “Future Leaders” Committee for a tour of ARO, a 62-story residential tower in Midtown Manhattan.

The building’s massing responds to various site and zoning constraints, revealing solutions that maximize the residential adaptability of the building through increased floor area, direct outdoor access and amplified views. Shaping of the form reflects changes in unit mixes, with larger units occupying the top of the building and smaller units occupying the bottom. Building amenities, located within the podium, take on a vertical hierarchy by locating the various amenities from short to tall around the tower, resulting in a series of cascading layers on the roofs above each space.

Attendees will have the option to participate in one of three identical tours with John Cetra, FAIA, of CetraRuddy and representatives from BuroHappold Engineering, Pavarini-McGovern and Algin Management. Groups will arrive for tours at 3:00 p.m., 3:45 p.m., and 4:15 p.m.
