Designed by Louis Aloys Risse, the Grand Concourse was constructed between 1894-1909. This world famous thoroughfare was built during the height of the City Beautiful movement; it was modeled on the Champs-Elysees in Paris. Perched high upon Fordham Gneiss, the Grand Concourse offers the perfect vantage point to envision the future development of New York City.

Manhatta's office is a combination live-work space located at 800 Grand Concourse within the heart of the Grand Concourse historic district. Built in 1954, this transitional style apartment house feautures both art deco and modern design elements. In this project, Manhatta has embraced these styles and explored how they can be incorporated into a 21st Century lifestyle.
