Good. Hopefully this will be significantly taller, given the prominent location right off 42nd St., just west of Times Square.

I think I read via zoomed in 428'.

What was the reference for those schematics? Can barely make out the data. Was it in the DOB bin?

This one in particular.

I'm glad that the crappy lot on The Deuce is finally getting developed.

So the bulkhead is 399, and the height to mechanical top is 428, I guess.

This block is so dumpy given the prime location. I'm glad this lot is finally being redeveloped, and I hope the sites to the immediate east and west are both redeveloped in the coming years.

I believe there's an assemblage to the east, encompassing the lowrise Duane Reade store, and there's a second site to the west, encompassing that row of tenements. So hopefully three new towers in the next few years.

Renderings Reveal 33-Story Mixed-Use Building At 314 West 43rd Street In Midtown, Manhattan

A new Environmental Assessment Study submitted to the Department of City Planning contains the first architectural renderings of a 33-story mixed-use building in Midtown, Manhattan. The proposed development is located at 314 West 43rd Street between Eighth and Ninth Avenues and would contain a mix of retail and residential area.

The proposed building comprises two connected volumes – one along 42nd Street and the other along 43rd Street. Because the tallest portion of the development will top out around 399 feet above ground and the project’s location in Manhattan’s “Special Clinton District,” the project team must pursue special zoning permits before the project can break ground.

To make room for the 375,000-square-foot development, the project team intends to demolish an existing low-rise office building, an attached parking facility, and the Martin Luther King Jr. Labor Center. While the City Planning Commission predicts no significant adverse impacts to the surrounding area, the Commission also points out that the Martin Luther King Jr. Union Building has been determined by Landmarks Preservation Commission as eligible for the State National Register of Historic Places. To date, the building has not yet achieved that designation and the developers intend to move forward with demolition.

The volume along 42nd Street will comprise 284,616 gross square feet and top out at 33 stories. The portion of the building along 43rd Street is significantly smaller and will comprise 89,808 square feet with a final height of seven stories. In total, the residential component accounts for 319,631 gross square feet and yield up to 309 apartment units. The development will also comprise 54,793 gross square feet of retail with frontage along both 42nd and 43rd Streets.

The roof of the structure will be activated by an open-air roof deck with planters, seating, and unspecified recreational area. The development will not include a parking structure or surface-level lot.

If approved, construction is expected to be completed in a single phase over the course of 36 months. The project team anticipates full completion as early as 2024.

Excavation Progresses At 308 West 43rd Street In Midtown, Manhattan

Excavation is progressing at 308 West 43rd Street, the site of a two-building residential development in Midtown, Manhattan.
Designed by Handel Architects and developed by Taconic Partners under the 311 West 42nd Street Associates LLC, the 373,133-square-foot development will yield 321 apartments averaging 839 square feet apiece as well as 25,202 square feet of retail space.
Triton Construction is serving as the general contractor for the property, which is located between West 42nd and 43rd Streets and Eighth and Ninth Avenues, directly north of the Port Authority Bus Terminal.

A lot has changed at the site since our last update at the end of spring. Demolition of the office structure has been completed, along with the removal of an open-air parking lot, and now excavation has progressed deep below street level.
Numerous excavators are on site digging and lifting large chunks of rocks and earth.
YIMBY expects the reinforced concrete foundations to begin in the upcoming months.

The taller 33-story tower will stand along West 42nd Street and rise around 399 feet tall, yielding 284,616 square feet in the “Special Clinton District.”
A full rendering of the structure hasn’t been released, although the one below gives us an idea of the appearance of the edifice, which will be clad in brick and feature a staggered, irregular window grid.
Our last article indicated that the roof will accommodate an open-air deck with planters, seating, and an unspecified recreational area.

The shorter building lining West 43rd Street will span 89,808 square feet and top out at just seven stories.
These two structures will be joined by a podium with frontage along both West 42nd and West 43rd Streets.

312 West 43rd Street Rises In Midtown, Manhattan

Construction is rising on 312 West 43rd Street, a 33-story residential building in Midtown, Manhattan. Designed by Handel Architects and developed by Taconic Partners, the 373,133-square-foot project will yield 330 rental apartments and 40,000 square feet of retail space in the multi-story podium, and will encompass a seven-story extension along West 43rd Street. Triton Construction is the general contractor for the property, which is located between West 42nd and 43rd Streets and Eighth and Ninth Avenues, directly north of the Port Authority Bus Terminal.

Progress has been quick since our last update in June, when foundation work was still wrapping up. Since then, construction has gone vertical and the reinforced concrete superstructure has risen beyond the three-story podium. Based on the pace of progress, the 33-story tower could reach its pinnacle in the first half of 2023.

The property will feature 30,000 square feet of residential amenities including multiple spa areas, private outdoor landscaped gardens, workspaces, a rooftop pool, and a fitness center.

312 West 43rd Street is anticipated to be completed in 2024.
