Key points of the project
First Standalone Waldorf Astoria Outside the US
Waldorf Astoria has run residences beside its hotels for years. This is the first address outside the United States built as residences alone, with no hotel in the building.
A Private Lift Lobby for Every Residence
No shared corridors: each home opens from its own lift lobby. Slab-to-slab heights reach 4.5 metres, ceilings clear 3.8, and the corners are glazed for uninterrupted views.
Carlos Ott, with Interiors by HBA
The tower is by Carlos Ott, the architect of the Opéra Bastille in Paris, with interiors by HBA drawing on Art Nouveau and Art Deco from the brand’s New York origins.

Waldorf Astoria
Waldorf Astoria has defined a kind of hospitality since its first hotel opened in New York over a century ago, inventing 24-hour room service and housing heads of state, royalty and film stars along the way; the group now runs some thirty hotels worldwide. Here the brand goes further than a name on the door: it operates the amenities and common areas, places a dedicated Director of Residences on site, and extends the service residents would find in its hotels — concierge, doorman, valet, in-residence spa and dining, each home with a private account and signing privileges. The Peacock Alley lounge takes its name from the passage that once joined the original Waldorf and Astoria buildings.
