The 30-story mixed-use tower at 160 N Morgan Street in Fulton Market District has reached its roof height. The 350-foot project is a joint venture by Sterling Bay and Ascentris, who are bringing 282 rental apartments and two floors of retail space to the rapidly developing neighborhood.

The tower, designed by bKL Architecture, features a sleek and modern facade with red metallic panels and dark gray accents. The building’s massing consists of a rectangular base that supports two offset volumes at the top, creating a dynamic skyline presence. The south side of the tower also cantilevers over the podium, creating a visual interest and a covered entrance for pedestrians.

The apartments will range from studios to two-bedroom units, with 28 of them designated as affordable housing. The tower will also offer various amenities for its residents, such as an outdoor deck on the fifth floor, an indoor fitness center and lounge, a podium garage with 89 parking spaces, and 153 bike parking spaces.
