Construction is wrapping up on Anagram, a 26-story residential tower at 1 West 60th Street on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Designed by INC Architecture & Design with SLCE Architects as the architect of record and developed by Global Holdings Management Group, the 281-foot-tall structure spans 180,813 square feet and yields 123 luxury market-rate rental units with interiors by The Setting, as well as 20,000 square feet of retail space on the first two levels. Pavarini McGovern is the general contractor and DeSimone Consulting Engineers is the façade consultant for the property, which is alternately addressed as 1841 Broadway and located at the corner of Broadway and West 60th Street, just north of Columbus Circle and the southwest corner of Central Park.
The scaffolding has been removed from the sidewalk along West 60th Street since our last update in January, revealing the residential entrance and canopy bearing the building’s address. A circular plaque with the Anagram logo is positioned adjacent to the doors, which are surrounded by a façade of charcoal-colored brick supplied by Belden Tri-State Building Materials. The walls at the ground floor incorporate a distinctive bond pattern that creates a play of light and shadow in the morning sun. The corner of the building features a double-height glass envelope for the retail space, which is set to be occupied by Capital One bank. Some scaffolding still remains along Broadway but should be dismantled in the coming weeks.

There’s really a play of light and shadow, I choose to cover up the beautiful parts; without wasting time on criticizing: Thanks to Michael Young.
The detailed brick shots are spectacular! I just wish this building was at least twice as tall for such a prominent corner spot
Yes, this building really feels undersized for such a prominent location.
Not bad for tons of other locations but a giant letdown for such a high potential spot. This should have been a RAMSA beauty not something that looks like it belongs on E 96.
if built by RAMSA then it would have been twice more expensive (quite literally) which doesn’t make sense given that most units don’t have the Central Park views
Great. Some artistic thought brought to the project.
The masonry vignettes are appealing but on all the upper floors brickwork is suspended and cantilevered over glazing as though it were conceived of as contact paper.
The balconies ought to leverage partial park views, but don’t, and the address ought to be next to CPW, but it isn’t.
I don’t get comments praising the beauty of the building. Compared to very old classic brick buildings, this lacks details (they used to have stone fixtures around the roof or entrance)
