A mixed-use development at 335 Eighth Avenue in Chelsea, Manhattan has officially broken ground. The project is the latest development from MAG Partners and global holding company Safanad, who’ve retained COOKFOX Architects to design the property and Urban Atelier Group as general contractor.
The structure will top out at seven stories and comprise around 200,000 square feet. When complete, the building will have a 23,000-square-foot Lidl supermarket, 188 rental units, and additional ground-floor retail spaces. Thirty percent of the apartment stock will be reserved for low- and middle-income residents.
Renderings of the property show a handsome red brick facade, a standard punched window system, and several setbacks that make room for private and communal outdoor spaces.
“Our investments with MAG Partners demonstrate our conviction in the strength of the New York City multifamily market,” said Danny Jumblatt, managing director at Safanad. “We look forward to building on the success of the Ruby with the 8th Avenue site, which we believe will bring further high-quality rental products to an attractive submarket.”
The project team has not announced an anticipated date of completion.

This article is about 335 8th Ave, at the corner of 26th and 8th. The address in the title and intro to article is incorrect.
Don’t believe 5th & 3rd intersect. Not even sure this is 5th Ave.
“A mixed-use development at 335 Fifth Avenue in Chelsea, Manhattan has officially broken ground. Located at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 3rd Avenue”
This is 335 Eighth Avenue, at the corner of 26th Street.
Copy editor out of town??
8th Ave, 26th St, story earlier this week has correct info and headline.
Eighth Ave and W 28 St
Definitely Eighth Avenue; see “Related Article” Demolition Finishes for COOKFOX’s 335 Eighth Avenue in Chelsea, Manhattan.
They had the article right yesterday. It’s 335 Eighth Ave. some crazy person has gone in and changed the addresses. Third and Fifth ave are parallel and don’t intersect.
Yes yes i like it Thank you
I work across the street () and have been watching this go up almost everyday. The terracotta facade provides and excellent contrast to the glass curtain wall.
One thing not seen in these photos, is how much work had to be done on the inside- the construction crews had dug down at least 15 to 20 feet below street level before filling in and building the basement (and maybe sub-basement) levels along with the ground floor.
Finally, have to give credit to those construction crews: they work in in every weather condition imaginable. I’ve seen them there in broiling heat, freezing cold, pouring rain, snow, etc. We tend to celebrate the architects and engineers, but the people who actually make the structures go up, truly deserve an ovation.
You are probably referring to a different building. This one is still a hole in the ground – construction hasn’t started yet. (8th Avenue at 26th Street).
