YIMBY says that this skyscraper would likely complete by “summer 2023”. Hopefully there will be a lot of flying taxis!

this thing is incredibly skinny. It will rise quickly once ground works are completed early next year.

This is the one I keep forgetting to check in on, been a couple of months since the last update.

Some bonus ESB. It will be interesting to see hot the two buildings work together...

Haven’t seen a single steel beam standing on that site. Did they put it on hold due to controversy of blocking the ESB or something?

Yeah, that’s it.

This one will probably be under construction a little sooner than 520 Fifth Avenue. It's going to be fun keeping up with the two as they rise.

FEBRUARY 26, 2022

I had no idea this was so far along / actually may be happening.

Super exciting! Kind of an odd design but exciting nonetheless.

NYguy · #**230** Posted **Mar 25, 2022, 10:50 PM**

Walked by the site earlier today, they're still digging.

NYguy · #**231** Posted **Apr 1, 2022, 7:01 PM**

As of today (April 1, 2022), still digging.

Interesting. It looked like they were more or less at bedrock at the end of February. Are they going deeper because they have a substantial number of underground floors?

Not sure if there is a change in plans, or just the need to go deeper.

Excavation Continues For 262 Fifth Avenue Supertall In NoMad, Manhattan

Quote:

Excavation is continuing at 262 Fifth Avenue, the site of a 1,043-foot residential supertall skyscraper in NoMad. Designed by Meganom with SLCE Architects as the executive architect and developed by Boris Kuzinez of Five Points Development under the Five Points 262 Project, LLC, the 60-story tower will yield 41 residential units spread across 139,168 square feet and 10,850 square feet of retail space on the first two floors. CM & Associates Construction Management, LLC is the general contractor for the property, which is located at the corner of Fifth Avenue and West 29th Street.

Workers and excavators are well below street level and it shouldn’t be too long before we start to see the formation of the concrete foundations. Excavation should conclude toward the end of spring and the relatively small parcel could allow the superstructure to begin to climb above street level sometime in the latter half of 2022. From there will be a repetitive stack of floor plates with varying heights as crews build the typical mix of residential and mechanical levels.

The adjacent 12-story structure at 260 Fifth Avenue immediately south of the building footprint is reportedly part of the property, and could possibly house the retail space. The prewar edifice features a limestone exterior with a high level of ornamental detailing and stone craftsmanship. The windows on the northern face would be covered once 262 Fifth Avenue surpasses its height.

262 Fifth Avenue is slated for completion in summer 2023.
