New Rendering Revealed For 1482 First Avenue on Manhattan’s Upper East Side

A new rendering has been revealed for 1482 First Avenue, a 30-story residential tower on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Designed by Hill West Architects with Paris Forino as the interior designer and developed by Alchemy-ABR, the 395-foot-tall structure will span 161,000 square feet and yield 86 rental units and 343 square feet of commercial space. The property is comprised of two conjoined interior lots by the intersection of First Avenue and East 77th Street.

The rendering depicts the main western elevation of the building, showing a straightforward rectangular massing with a handful of setbacks spread across the height of the tower. A metal canopy hangs above the two-story entrance, followed by a dense cluster of windows on levels three through 11. The first setback on level 12 provides room for an outdoor terrace lined with glass railings, while the rest of the superstructure climbs uninterrupted until a small setback on level 26. An additional stack of balconies is positioned along the southwestern corner. An expansive rooftop terrace will be located on the 30th floor setback and will be partially covered by the bulkhead on its southern end. The façade is depicted composed of floor-to-ceiling glass and a grid of gray paneling.

Demolition has concluded since our last update in late-July, when the two former low-rise occupants of the property were being razed behind scaffolding and construction netting. The lot now sits cleared and blocked off with woodeZ fencing.

A construction timeline for 1482 First Avenue has yet to be announced.
