The Palmolive Building once again exudes glamour and brilliance. The nuances that made this edifice famous have been faithfully restored. A grand new lobby, reminiscent of the 1929 original that was lost to renovation in the 1960s, features walnut paneling, marble casework and floors, nickel and glass doors and transoms, a fireplaced lounge, and historic elevator carvings by sculptor Enrique Alferez.The exterior of the Palmolive Building, with its limestone block laid over a steel and brick frame, is highlighted with decorative terra cotta panels and carved stone. The verticality of this precedent-setting setback design is emphasized all the more with a signature lighting scheme, gracefully bathing the walls in a divine glow to accentuate its remarkable architecture.

A completely new systems infrastructure will be built, including plumbing, electric, and HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) services and risers. The HVAC system is able to heat and cool year round. The electrical service will accommodate the ample demand load required in a luxury residence. All new elevators, including three passenger elevators and a freight to each typical floor provide an exceptional level of service, with wait times that are among the best in the market. A new, indoor valet garage will be for the private use of residents and guests, and will provide a climate controlled parking environment with an interior drop-off area that has direct access to the residential lobby.
