Hernán R. Chebar, RA

Associate Partner Hernán Chebar has been with Robert A.M. Stern Architects since 1996 and has been responsible for the design and project management of many of the firm’s high-profile multifamily residential projects in New York, as well as a wide variety of building types in the US and internationally, from resort hotels to office buildings to assisted living facilities.

An expert in New York-style multifamily residential buildings, he has worked with many of the best-known names in residential development and knows that great architecture is good for the developer, the urban realm, and the public. He is adept at working in different places and cultures and knows how to blend the classic New York style with diverse sensibilities and influences to create a fresh, new synthesis. He also has significant experience on projects in sensitive contexts or complex regulatory settings, such as those subject to City Planning Commission and Landmarks Preservation Commission approvals.

Past projects include luxury residential buildings in New York City such as 200 East 83rd Street, 1228 Madison Avenue, 1165 Madison Avenue (the Bellemont), 185 East 81st Street, 2320 Broadway, and 16 Fifth Avenue; a master plan and an apartment building for a residential development in Arlington, Virginia; a 30-story residential building in Toronto; the Residences at the Ritz-Carlton in Dallas and The Woodlands in Houston, Texas; ‘Ilima and Melia Towers in Honolulu, Hawaii; Pezet 195 in Lima, Peru; a retail center in Amsterdam; senior communities in Roslyn, New York, and Denver, Colorado; the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts in Houston; and the Disney Ambassador Hotel in Tokyo.

He is currently working on Gala, a two-tower complex in Monterrey, Mexico; the adaptive re-use of 809 Madison Avenue; and luxury residential buildings including 242 East 71st Street, 255 East 77th Street in New York City.

Mr. Chebar’s work has been exhibited at CAYC—Centro de Arte y Comunicacion, Buenos Aires, Argentina, and he has supervised the translation into Spanish of City Living, a monograph of RAMSA’s urban residential projects. He has also been a guest critic at Columbia University’s Master of Science in Real Estate Development program. Prior to joining Robert A.M.
