Crown work is moving along on 3 Sutton Place, an 847-foot-tall residential skyscraper at 430 East 58th Street in Midtown East. Designed by Thomas Juul-Hansen and developed by Gamma Real Estate with Stephen B. Jacobs Group as the executive architect, the 62-story tower is located between Sutton Place South and First Avenue and will yield 121 residential units with sweeping views of Manhattan. The site is a short walk from the Sutton Place Park North esplanade that overlooks the East River, Roosevelt Island, and Long Island City.
Since our last update in May, almost all of the remaining windows have been installed and work has shifted to the completion of the multi-story crown, which features concentric indented rectangular panels enclosing a steel frame. The northern and western elevations of the crown are currently finished.

Construction has been picking up speed in recent weeks. The below photos show the state of progress from late July through early August.

Directly above the last habitable floor are the mechanical and ventilation systems. This will all be hidden behind the crown panels. The photographs below show us what this part looked like before the next set of panels began to cover the rest of this upper section.

The scaffolding on top of the roof parapet should be removed once work around the pinnacle is closer to completion.

The color tone of the crown panels appears to shift from light gray to gold depending on the angle and time of day, as illustrated in the photos above and below.

The crown panels also possess a subtle reflective quality that catches the morning sun, producing narrow strips of gold light across the multifaceted surfaces of each segment.

The hoist should likely be removed by the fall, revealing the skyscraper’s true scale and slender profile.

It also looks like there are very thin light fixtures attached to the completed sides of the crown, enabling the illumination showcased in the main rendering.

The completion date for 3 Sutton Place remains unclear, but YIMBY estimates sometime between the end of 2021 and early 2022.

Meh, from bottom to top.
Meh yes, but 1,000,000 times better than the Bud Fox tragedy in the foreground.
I like it! The non-metallic bands accentuate the verticality and diminish the dominance of the glass. The crown’s detail is subtle and elegant. It’s a winner in my book.
Sutton Place was famous for its quite low rise buildings. Now it is part of Midtown.
Sutton Place was never “famous for its low rise buildings”. It has been a highrise neighborhood since the 1920’s. And it was always part of Midtown.
Hopefully this tower is the first of many. Nothing had been built in Sutton Place for 40 years.
A Building done in the “Real Estate Greed Style”
Enough said.
Just curious, what’s the “real estate altruism style”?
Little Island?
Look up and see what you reported, beautiful sky from light on its crown. The bottom part would probably have the same light, but I can’t see: Thanks to Michael Young.
It’s a lovely and what looks to be a well constructed building but has obviously been value engineered from top to bottom. Notice the last rendering at least had some loggias in the top stack. These are now gone. Not sure why it’s so hard for developers to leave an architect’s vision in place
Would you enjoy hanging out on a wind swept balcony 800 feet up? They probably wisely made the decision to just make it usable living space like the rest of the tower.
Exactly.
I’m warming up to it. The crown is quite nice, especially with how the light hits it. But still, it’s really boring.
another skyscraper ruining a low rise neighborhood with beautiful 3 story buildings
what a travesty
Crack is whack my dear fella.
more of NYC history down the drain for an out of place skyscraper
Notice how there are no pictures from the block
that would show how out of context this building really is
OK boomer
Another empty ugly stick building, skyscraper. Let’s make it affordable.
It’s empty because it’s still under construction genius. Are you the same bonehead that says every new building will be converted to homeless shelters?
hahaha
TSK TSK calling people names isn’t nice now NFA
Now go take your YIMBY Ball and get home to your mother!
hey Bonehead YIMBY NFA read my posts a little clearer
I’m always talking about the new hotels being built that will be homeless shelters not every new building.
I see you’re not too intelligent , but I’m sure you think of yourself as a YIMBY genius
What language are you speaking?
I love this, NFA and Guesser needs to go back and forth in the comments. please
english
NFA hasn’t been awoken yet, but I know his rebuttal will be great.
Your aka 430 East 38th on the first 5 photos is a bit off 🙂
The loggias are where the current elevator stack is, and are likely to appear as they bring that down
A voice of reason..
Nicely done, much better than many of the new ones.
