Project Description

Supporting their conviction in the long-term global demand for best-in-class workplaces that are healthy, smart and green, in 2017 Oxford Properties acquired the site of New York’s historic St. John’s Terminal (‘SJT’) on the west side of Manhattan. A site long coveted by developers, none were able to unlock a solution due to its complexity and scale. Where others saw challenges, Oxford saw the opportunity to build its vision for the future of work and deliver it to New York.
With the development approaching practical completion, Google purchased the building in January 2022. Acknowledging its success, the project recently won the ‘Deal of the Year’ at Commercial Observer’s annual Power Awards.
Intercom Facades has designed, fabricated and delivered different CW’s systems, such as double skin facades, single skin facades and stick built facades.
