Skyline-altering tower to rise 928 feet along Fifth Avenue in Nomad

A near supertall skyscraper is coming to NoMad, according to a recent Department of Buildings filing for 262 Fifth Avenue. Boris Kuzinez, an Israeli-Russian billionaire, submitted plans last week for a 54-story, 928-foot-tall mixed-use tower on the southwest corner of Fifth Avenue and 29th Street where a trio of pre-war buildings currently stand. The tower will certainly make a dent on the NYC skyline, and will be the tallest structure between Midtown and Downtown if it finishes before several other projects now in the works.

While the lot spans three sites on the block, it is not certain if all the structures will be demolished and how the tower will be massed. The lots include 260 and 264 Fifth Avenue, which Kuzinez acquired in February of last year for $101.8 million from Renaissance Properties. His plans call for a tower with a paltry 41 condos at an average of 3,400 square feet per unit, for a total of 139,168 square feet of residential space. For those numbers to pencil out, units will likely be grand in scale, and the permit fling also indicates a large amount of the homes will be duplexes.
