Construction Update: 400 Park Avenue South

400 Park Avenue South400 Park Avenue South

Work on Toll Brothers’ 400 Park Avenue South has accelerated in recent weeks, and the tower has risen five floors since the last update, from late June. 400 Park Avenue South now stands 14 stories tall, a fraction of its future 42-story height, but tall enough to begin impacting the cityscape. Gramercy has few buildings that exceed twenty floors, so 400 Park Avenue South will achieve prominence shortly.

Besides progress on the building’s superstructure, cladding is now arriving on-site, and facade installation should begin shortly. Designed by Christian de Portzamparc, 400 Park Avenue South’s glass is sure to be stunning, cementing the ‘fortress of glassitude’ as a Gramercy icon.

Completion of 400 Park Avenue South is anticipated for 2015, when all 365 units will be ready for occupancy.
