Demolition Underway for 29-Story Tower at 930 First Avenue in Turtle Bay, Manhattan

Demolition work is progressing at 930 First Avenue, the site of a 29-story residential building in the Turtle Bay section of Midtown East, Manhattan. Leandro Dickson of Leandro Nils Dickson Architect LLC filed permits in March for the 335-foot-tall structure, which will yield 83 condominiums with an average scope of 645 square feet, as well as 3,465 square feet of commercial space and a 20-square-foot rear yard. The property is alternately addressed as 401-405 East 51st Street and located at the corner of First Avenue and East 51t Street.

The former six-story occupant of 930 First Avenue has been completely razed and mounds of rubble are scattered across its footprint. The northernmost structure in the assemblage at 936 First Avenue remains partially standing with scaffolding and black netting covering its western elevation. Portions of the interiors are visible as crews work to dismantle the building. YIMBY anticipates the entire assemblage spanning 930 to 936 First Avenue and 401 to 405 East 51st Street to be fully cleared by the end of spring.
