Although HL23 is Denari’s first freestanding building, it is just another feather in the cap of local developer Alf Naman, who has already broken ground on the Jean Nouvel–designed tower 100 11th nearby. Naman says he chose the Los Angeles–based architect and theoretician for this project “because this neighborhood has no context, [so] I thought you can do something different and bring in the next generation of architects.”
