Permits have been filed for a 12-story mixed-use building at 622 Eleventh Avenue in Midtown West, Manhattan. Located between West 45th and West 46th Streets, the lot is a short walk to the 42 St-Port Authority Bus Terminal subway station, serviced by the A, C, and E trains. Cheskel Schwimmer of Chess Builders LLC is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 119-foot-tall development will yield 127,613 square feet, with 127,440 square feet designated for residential space and 173 square feet for commercial space. The building will have 188 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 677 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar but no accessory parking.
S. Wieder Architect is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits have not been filed yet. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

Oh no, I’ve been to this business. It’s a shame to lose a local hardware/lumber store. Progress can be bittersweet.
Don’t cry for this guy.
Research Robert Gans.
173 square feet for commercial space…? what can be there for 173 sqft
Nail salon?
Blank street coffee?
It’s not a short walk. It’s three very long avenue blocks, then down three.
Wait this is confusing. The photo is from the odd side of the street something like 617 11th Ave with the hardware store. 622 would be on the other side with the lumber storage area. Both are Metropolitan Lumber & Hardware
You’re correct! The photo included with this article is the other (west) side of 11th Avenue – NOT the site now scheduled for redevelopment, which is on the EAST side of 11th Avenue (Think: The Landmark Tavern, which fortunately is NOT being torn down for this likely pedestrian apartment building).
Another reply, which includes a clickable link to an article by W42nd St. with the correct photos of the site scheduled for redevelopment and additional details about the site’s history and upcoming redevelopment was uploaded already but is awaiting approval by the web site admin as I includes the clickable url.
Hopefully, that reply will be cleared to appear in a timely fashion! 😉
“…as it includes the the clickable url.” in the above.
Apologies for the editing error!
