Landscape Architects are the surprising new heroes of NYC real estate
Tishman Speyer tapped celebrity landscape architect Edmund Hollander, founder of Hollander Design, for the project. He is known for landscaping eight-figure homes and institutions such as the Kennedy Center. At 11 Hoyt, he created an oasis filled with oaks and dogwood trees, and flowering plants like milkweeds and goldenrods. There is also an herb garden, lounging areas, fitness deck and playground. Hollander said he was trying to create a “family-friendly magical escape.”
