# 40 Mercer Street

Last updated: 2026-10-27 | Canonical: https://40mercer.nyc/ | Published by Conquest (https://conquest.nyc, (646) 480-6095)

40 Mercer, completed in 2007, was Pritzker Prize laureate Jean Nouvel's first residential building in New York, and it treats the glass curtain wall as a work of color and light rather than a neutral skin. Nouvel wraps the block-through structure in a taut grid of floor-to-ceiling glass punctuated by ruby-red and cobalt-blue mullioned panes -- red along Mercer, blue turning the corner onto Broadway -- crowned by a deep-blue lattice 'lantern' that glows over the SoHo rooftops at dusk.
