US architect Morris Adjmi took cues from tenements that once housed Italian immigrants to create a new mixed-use building with a decorative brickwork facade. Rising seven storeys, Grand Mulberry is located on a storied site in Manhattan's Little Italy neighborhood. To design the new building, architect Morris Adjmi took cues from the area's history and architecture, including its tenement buildings dating to the 19th and early 20th centuries.

The upper portion of the building holds a total of 20 condominium
