Description
Originally named the Fuller Building, the 22-story tower anchors the three-way junction with 23rd Street. Its narrow triangular footprint stands out against the surrounding skyline. Netting that had wrapped the facade since 2019 came off the upper floors in 2026, exposing the limestone and glazed terracotta again, while a protective sidewalk shed still runs along the base.
