The building was developed by JDS Development and Largo and was designed by SHoP Architects.[1] The building is one of several major collaborations between JDS and SHoP; others include 111 West 57th Street,[2] also in Manhattan, and 9 DeKalb Avenue,[3] in Brooklyn. HistoryThe site the two towers occupy was originally a {{convert|6.4|acre|ha|adj=on}} lot that hosted a power plant. While owned by Sheldon Solow, the plant was razed, and Solow paid to have the land cleaned. He later sold the plot to JDS and Largo in 2013 for $172 million. JDS and Largo secured a loan from Cornerstone Real Estate Advisors to purchase the land.[1] Solow's plans for the site involved a seven-tower, $4 billion complex designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. The SOM plan would also have included a park and a public school, as well as an adjacent public space designed by American architect Richard Meier.[4] Solow later changed his plans to a twin-tower structure, which JDS and Largo preserved, although with a new architect.[5] Construction began on the site in mid-2014, and the copper cladding was first applied in mid-2015.[6] As of late 2015, the towers were nearly topped-out, and installation of the bridge between the two towers began in January 2016.[9][7] A website for the project appeared in April 2016, and the name of the towers was changed from 626 First Avenue to the American Copper Buildings.[8] The two separate structures did not open at the same time for renters, with the first opening in April 2017 and the other set to open in late 2018.[9] Design and constructionThe exterior of the building is clad in copper. This metal cladding is similar to other SHoP-designed buildings, such as Barclay's Center. As of April 2016, the copper exterior has begun to patina, and the structures will eventually change color entirely.[10] The two towers are designed such that they appear to "dance" with each other.[11] They are also connected by a bridge approximately 300 feet from the ground, which will be three levels in height.[12] The taller tower will be 540 feet in height, and the shorter tower will be 470 feet tall.[1] SkybridgeThe two towers are connected by a skybridge which will include amenities for residents. According to the developers, it is the first such bridge constructed in Manhattan in eighty years.[10] ResilienceWhile the buildings’ parcel was for sale during Hurricane Sandy, rainfall turned an onsite pit into a “small lake”.[13] The building was therefore developed with precautions against floods and extreme weather caused by climate change. In the event of power loss caused by a storm, there are five emergency generators to power the buildings’ eight passenger and two freight elevators and to provide power to tenants’ refrigerators and a single outlet in each apartment for an indefinite period of time.[13] Architectural choices were also informed by potential floods. Lobby walls utilize stone (as opposed to wood) and the buildings’ copper covering does not begin until approximately 20 feet off the ground, preventing potential damage from high waters. UsageThe building is residential, and includes 761 rental units.[14] Twenty percent of the units in the two towers are designated affordable, with the remaining eighty percent available at market. The building is split between 725,000 square feet of residential space, 94,700 square feet of amenities and facilities for residents, and a small 4,100 square foot retail complex on the ground floor.[15] AmenitiesThe bridge connecting the development's two towers includes a pool and a lounge for residents. The building includes a squash court and a gym with views of the East River.[14] Other amenities are concentrated on the top of the east tower, with the top of the west tower reserved for mechanical space.[16] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.6sqft.com/new-video-reveals-how-shops-626-first-avenue-will-dance-into-midtowns-east-river-skyline/|title=New Video Reveals How SHoP’s 626 First Avenue Will Dance into Midtown’s East River Skyline|last=Hylton|first=Ondel|date=July 13, 2015|publisher=6sqft|accessdate=February 25, 2016}} {{coord|40.744610| -73.972483|display=title}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://jdsdevelopment.com/111-west-57th-street/|title=111 West 57th Street - JDS Development Group|work=JDS Development Group|accessdate=May 28, 2015}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=340 Flatbush Ave Ext.
