Georgica, 305 E. 85th St.
Cantilevers, building structures supported by beams only on one side, are appearing with increasing frequency on new developments throughout the city. They can be seen at the Georgica condominium at 305 East 85th Street, and at the Brompton at Third Avenue and 86th Street, which cantilevers from its southern façade, hanging over low-rise buildings. A cantilever was designed for the JPMorgan Chase tower on the former site of the Deutsche Bank near the World Trade Center. The design, which calls for part of the building hanging over a new St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, may not go through.
