The eight-story building has a black-and-white exterior and interior design details modeled after the Duomo di Siena’s bell tower in Italy and inspired by the location’s newsprint heritage. Maisonettes—first-floor residences with separate entrances, high ceilings, and patios—add a neighborly touch.

With luxe amenities and prices to match (junior one-bedrooms start at $650,000 for roughly 600 square feet; three-bedrooms run more than 2,000 square feet and start at more than $2 million), the Siena will herald a new era indeed.
