Nordstrom Flagship Project Commissioner Nordstrom Inc. Creator James Carpenter Design Associates Nordstrom’s first flagship store in New York City primarily occupies a new building spanning 57th and 58th Streets and as well as several buildings existing buildings along Broadway in mid-town Manhattan.

JCDA’s unique “Waveforms Façade” contributes a more generous volumetric experience of light within the site’s constrained public realm. The store’s lofted ceilings and entirely glass façade represent the department store’s desire to create a new kind of experience for shoppers. The waveform of the curtain wall serves performance objectives such as allowing for the oversize glass units to span the floor to floor plates without the need for vertical mullions, while the volumes allow for a program that merges civic and commercial goals.
