Earthwork Underway At 38 Gramercy Park East in Gramercy Park, Manhattan
Excavation is underway at 38 Gramercy Park East, the site of a 20-story residential building in Gramercy, Manhattan.
The project will become the largest building of its kind constructed in a century in the area surrounding the nearly 2-acre private park. SLCE Architects as the architect of record for the property, which alternately addressed as 146 East 21st Street and bounded by Gramercy Park East, East 21st Street, and Third Avenue.
The six former occupants of the property have been razed and cleared since our last update in April 2025, when demolition preparations were just getting underway. Crews have begun to excavate the L-shaped plot and are using piling machines to prep for the forthcoming foundations. Digging should proceed over the next few months, followed by the formation of the substructure later this spring. YIMBY expects the superstructure to emerge above street level sometime during the summer.
The axonometric diagram of the building posted still looks consistent with that earlier rendering, fingers crossed we are still getting that great design.
