Extell’s impressive residential portfolio includes The Avery and The Rushmore, the first of several residential buildings planned for Riverside South, a vibrant new neighborhood that fronts a 21-acre park stretching along the Hudson River; 535 West End Avenue, Extell’s 21st Century pre-war residence; the Lucida, a new vision for modern green living on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, Ariel East and West, two exquisite glass towers in the West 90’s; and the Orion, one of Manhattan’s tallest residential buildings.

Extell has restored and updated a number of classics in some of Manhattan’s most celebrated landmark neighborhoods, including the master renovation of The Stanhope at 995 Fifth Avenue; Altair 18 and Altair 20, located in the historic Ladies Mile downtown district; 31 West 11 Street in the heart of Greenwich Village and The Belnord, a landmark, residential building on the Upper West Side.

Significant commercial developments include the W Times Square hotel in New York City, Boston’s InterContinental Hotel and Residences and the $200 million redevelopment of Chicago’s Insurance Exchange, for which Extell earned the 2002 Chicago Development of the Year award.
