The building has an innovative shape of rectangular boxes, each of which is a separate residential unit, stacked around the central core.
The structure is to be topped with a spire that would reach beyond 1,000 feet.
Despite its great height, the building will hold only 12 residences.
Ten of the twelve cubes will contain residences and the two lower cubes, as well as the 8-story base will be commercial.
Each cube will be approximately 10,336 square feet each.
Each private cube-"townhouse" will have a private garden.
This building will house some of the most expensive residences in the city and possibly in the world.
With each cube featuring a separate elevator and a private garden, the apartments are expected to be the most expensive in the city.
The tower was approved by the city in early February 2005.
Each townhouse is expected to cost about 30 million dollars.
The tower will replace the existing six-story red-brick building at 80 South Street.
