One of New York’s most prolific developers is opening a 34-story skyscraper in Manhattan’s Diamond District this week, hoping to change the face of the storied neighborhood with security technology reminiscent of “Mission: Impossible.”
Extell Development Co. believes that jewelry tenants will be willing to pay up for features including iris scanners, 350 cameras scattered throughout the building, and tracking technology that notifies security if someone working in the building is in a spot where they don’t usually go. Visitors will have four finger prints taken at the front desk.
