Revised Rendering Revealed for 303 East 44th Street in Midtown East, Manhattan

A revised rendering has been revealed for 303 East 44th Street, 35-story residential tower in Midtown East, Manhattan. Designed by ODA Architects, the 470-foot-tall structure will span 89,043 square feet and yield 131 condominium units along with 8,006 square feet of commercial space. Triangle Assets was originally listed as the developer of the project, but it’s unclear whether the company is still involved. The property is located on an interior lot between First and Second Avenues.

The rendering was recently posted to the construction board and depicts the tower rising with a monolithic massing and clad in a sleek envelope of sharply pleated metal and glass. Cutouts for what appear to be pocketed terraces are positioned between the perimeter columns at four levels across the height of the main southern elevation, and the building culminates in a flat parapet.

Crews are currently in the process of preparing the site for foundations with piling machines and excavators. It’s possible that the reinforced concrete superstructure could begin to emerge above street level by the summer.
