Designed by architect <a href="http://www.ramsa.com/index.html" target="_blank">Robert A.M. Stern</a>, the 912 foot (378m) tall building will serve as a bridge between the futuristic style of the <a href="http://architecturaldrawing.blogspot.com/2012/07/1-world-trade-center-by-skidmore-owings.html" target="_blank">1 World Trade Center</a> (former name Freedom Tower) and the classic Woolworth Building on the same block.<br /><br /><a name="more"></a><br />"Sharing a city block with the Woolworth Building, Cass Gilbert's iconic 1913 skyscraper, and strategically located one block from the World Trade Center redevelopment site, the Four Seasons Downtown combines a 175-key five-star Four Seasons hotel with 143 top-end condominium apartments in a slender 80-story tower that will become an important landmark among the constellation of towers in Lower Manhattan.<br /><br />The hotel entrance on Barclay Street leads visitors into four floors of lobbies, lounges, restaurants, ballrooms, meeting facilities, and a spa and fitness center. The public rooms of the hotel face a through-block garden framed by a lower annex building that conceals building services and access to below-grade parking. A separate entrance and lobby on Park Place serves the residences.<br /><br />Amenities for the apartments are located on the twenty-ninth floor; the function rooms and fitness center open to exterior loggias. The limestone and cast stone shaft of the tower rises to a dramatic skyline profile of full-floor penthouses and setback terraces."<br />          -<span style="font-size: x-small;">Robert A.M.
