Swiss architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron describes the building as houses stacked in the sky. On November 21, Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group's senior sales director Elizabeth Unger walked me through the tower and took me up to the 57th floor to view the building's last sponsor-owned unit for sale, a $24.5 million penthouse.

The 18th-floor unit at 56 Leonard St., otherwise known as the Jenga Building, will soon seek a new tenant not long after its previous one took his own life there. New York City's 56 Leonard - the so-called Jenga Building - is hard to miss: Its stacked levels jut out unevenly from its sides, giving it a distinctly different silhouette from your standard, smooth-sided high-rise.
