The steel superstructure is nearing the pinnacle of Covenant House, a 164-foot-tall mixed-use building at 460 West 41st Street in Midtown West. Designed by FXCollaborative and developed by Covenant House, the 80,290-square-foot project will yield 53,053 square feet of community facility space and 60 residential units averaging approximately 884 square feet apiece. 460 West 41st Street is planned to be the first supportive housing development by Covenant House in 48 years and includes help from for-profit entities Gotham Organization and Denham Wolf Real Estate Services.

Recent photos from street level show the steel superstructure climbing toward its pinnacle. The majority of the completed floors are covered in orange netting and plastic sheets as new levels are formed above. Installation of the façade has yet to begin, but should commence sometime in the coming months. Renderings show the exterior clad in a white brick curtain wall with a grid of large windows and what appears to be wood accenting throughout.

Below are additional renderings that show the main northern profile, followed by the southern entryway found along West 40th Street with a very deep and pocketed frontage. The architectural height, massing, and color palette appear to blend well with the surrounding context.
