The Cast Iron building (67 Franklin Street)  recently designed by Shigeru Ban, originally built in 1881 by James White is one of New York’s most stunning examples of 19th-century cast iron architecture. Juxtaposed from the turn-of-the-century including several neo-Renaissance-style buildings are the Tribeca skyscrapers. Now starchitect buildings are rising towards the clouds:  56 Leonard Street condominiums (coined the Jenga building) is an 821 feet tall, 57-story skyscraper by Herzog and de Meuron, 111 Murray Condominiums  designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates curved glass elegantly wraps the 64 floors (800 ft), 30 Park Place (Four Seasons) masterfully designed by Robert A.M.
