Now the Swiss architects Herzog and de Meuron who built the beautiful Beijing National Stadium (Bird's Nest) have set their sight on New York City with an incredible 57-story residential tower consisting of 145 unique apartments. Imagine each apartment is stacked up in way that it feels like you're dangling off a cliff. You might feel sick in the morning waking up at the edge of a high rise.

According to H&M, to achieve this look they will have to use cantilevers. The building will be located at 56 Leonard Street in Tribeca. The units are to priced from $3.5m to $33 million for a top shantyl. Rumor has it some of the Google money is looking to park in Tribeca. This might be a good place to film the next Sex in the City.
