The XI’s Travertine Façade Continues Installation In Chelsea

Installation of the warm-colored travertine façade is continuing on The XI, a twisting pair of 36- and 26-story residential structures at 76 Eleventh Avenue in Chelsea. Designed by Danish architect Bjarke Ingels of Bjarke Ingels Group and developed by HFZ Capital Group, the 908,250-square-foot complex stands along the Hudson River waterfront just west of the High Line. The project will yield 236 condominiums and a 137-room Six Senses Hotel Resort Spa, the first location in the United States. Omnibuild is in charge of the construction and Douglas Elliman is handling sales and marketing.

Most of the thin travertine slabs are already in place on the western profile of the taller edifice along West Street, while more segments are going up on the bottom of the northern elevation. The exterior hoist is attached to the twisting reinforced concrete superstructure, with the surrounding openings still awaiting the final window panels and metal frames. The mechanical units atop the roof parapet are visible and will eventually be enclosed in an opaque white envelope, as depicted in previous renderings and in the featured image above.

Eighty-seven of the units are being designed by Gilles & Boissier, while 149 residences will see interiors by Gabellini Sheppard. Prices range from $2,575,000 to $14,500,000.
