Exterior work is wrapping up on 3ELEVEN, a 60-story residential skyscraper at 601 West 29th Street in Hudson Yards. Designed by FXCollaborative and developed by Douglaston Development, the 695-foot-tall structure is also known as Tower A in a two-building complex alongside 606 West 30th Street, and will yield 935 units, with 235 designated for affordable housing, as well as 15,000 square feet of retail space. Levine Builders is constructing the Midtown, Manhattan property, which is bound by Eleventh Avenue to the east, West 29th Street to the south, and West 30th Street to the north.
Façade installation on the podium levels has mostly concluded since our last update in December, when much of this section of the tower remained unfinished. The podium features large windows with black mullions framed by light-colored paneling. It looks like the ground floor is almost done and will soon be revealed from behind the sidewalk scaffolding and fencing. The construction elevator remains attached to the southern elevation as interior work continues.

The property will feature 50,000 square feet of amenities including multiple tenant lounges, a gym with fitness studios, an outdoor swimming pool, several outdoor terraces, indoor and outdoor pet spaces, bicycle storage, a shared laundry room, and parking for 186 vehicles. Units come with washer and dryer, a dishwasher, hardwood floors, and energy-efficient appliances. The closest subway to the site is the 7 train at the Hudson Yards station in Bella Abzug Park to the north.
601 West 29th Street is slated for completion this summer.

I love the base, but the rest is just average. It seems like different people designed the base and tower, and it’s weird. Regardless, the building nicely fills up the southern side of Hudson Yards.
Is the base really “loveable” – or just acceptable. There isn’t much there to “love”!!!! ( a low bar to love – like going home with the only one left in the bar at closing!!!).
Nothing special.
Many white nets intersect the entire building, but it looks neat and beautiful. The location is just around the corner, parellel the street below so nice to look at: Thanks to Michael Young.
It’s just around the corner…………parellel (sic)…..??????
Cool, it’s great to see this progress in my neighborhood but how about some reporting on the projects that are at a standstill in Hudson Yards? There are two buildings on 11th avenue have had almost no work in the past year. Unnerving to see such large structures stuck in time like that.
Ran out of money, or no workers.
Is one of them the building with the retired architect scandal?
Looks like VE’d version of Gropius Chicago Tribune Tower competition entry.
City needs to loosen the overhang restrictions let these facades have more depth w/o developers having to sacrifice interior SF. All these towers end up so flat because no developer wants to prioritize facade depth over $$$. Stinks.
