There is no shortage of new apartments in Manhattan that are underway and about to be completed. From Lower to Upper Manhattan, we put together five different sites spread across the island that show a wide range of architecture, scales, and properties.
1) 1491 First Avenue
Coming to the Upper East Side neighborhood of Yorkville is 1491 First Avenue, a ground-up 24-story mixed-use residence designed by Hill West Architects and developed by Carmel Partners. The planned 209-foot tall structure will yield a total of 94 condominium units, each averaging around 1,900 square feet apiece, and 7,120 square feet of commercial space on the lower podium floors and cellar level. CP VII 78th Street Owner is the owner and Carmel Construction East is the general contractor for the project, which is located at the southwestern corner of First Avenue and East 78th Street. A completion date has yet to be announced. As of right now, the site has been cleared and awaits excavation and construction.
2) 126 East 57th Street
Currently underway with excavation and foundations is 126 East 57th Street, a new and upcoming 28-story residence designed by ODA Architecture and developed by MRR Development in Midtown East. The ground-up 346 foot tall structure is going to top out at 346 feet tall and yield a total of 147 condominium units spread across 170,000 square feet of space. Interiors will be done by both ODA and Gabellini Sheppard. There will also be 5,000 square feet of retail space. WSP USA is the engineer and Plaza Buildings is the general contractor for the project, which is being constructed on an L-shaped parcel at the corner of East 56th Street and Lexington Avenue with a narrow annex extending to West 57th Street, aka Billionaire's Row. The prestigious corridor has been home to some of the tallest and most expensive apartments in the New York City metropolitan region. Completion is slated for 2024.
3) 59 Henry Street
Located in the Two Bridges neighborhood is 59 Henry Street, a topped out 19-story building located between Catherine Street and Market Street.
