Construction Tour: 505 W 43
Construction is wrapping up at 505 West 43rd Street, a two tower residential condo development in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan. The project is co-developed by El Ad US Holding and Mi & Co Development with design by ODA New York.
Spanning the full depth of the mid block site, each of the two towers front a side street and are connected at their rear yards by a 6,000 square foot courtyard garden and enclosed passageway. An active Amtrak rail line runs underneath the site, which necessitated building a platform to allow the project to straddle the tracks. The primary street facing and courtyard facing facades are clad in a hand laid limestone brick and large floor-to-ceiling windows, a contemporary nod to the historical context of the neighborhood.
When finished, the development will offer 123 residential condo units, ranging in size from studios to four-bedrooms. Andres Escobar & Associates is leading the interior design of the residential units.
Residents will have access to numerous amenities including a double height lobby that serves as a library and lounge, an indoor/outdoor swimming pool, an open-air courtyard, fitness center, and children's playroom.
