Vertical progress is quickly unfolding at 525 Sixth Avenue, the site of a 13-story mixed-use residential building in Greenwich Village, Manhattan. Designed by BKSK Architects and developed by Izaki Group under the 525 6th Ave LLC, the 145-foot-tall structure is planned to span 123,000 square feet and yield 71 condominium units and ground-floor commercial space. Hunter Roberts Construction Group is the general contractor for the property, which is alternately addressed as 100-106 West 14th Street and is located at the corner of West 14th Street and Sixth Avenue, just below the border with Chelsea.
Excavation and piling work was ongoing at the time of our last update in late May, with all activity was still happening below street level and behind the wraparound sidewalk fencing. Since then, the reinforced concrete foundation was formed and recent photographs now show the rising superstructure taking shape. Crews had just reached the sixth floor of the building and YIMBY predicts the remaining seven floors to be fully assembled and top out in early fall. One notable architectural detail is the use of rounded corners across the edges of the northern and eastern elevations, while multiple pairs of perimeter columns are greatly spaced out from each other and will eventually provide residents with wide window spans.

There are still no finalized renderings of 525 Sixth Avenue, though the below massing diagram posted on the construction board gives an early glimpse. The illustration shows the bulk of the building lining West 14th Street, with a series of shallow setbacks beginning on the ninth floor up to the multifaceted mechanical bulkhead. Meanwhile, there is an even larger setback located on the seventh story at the rear of the building. The design incorporates the aforementioned rounded corners and carved cutouts across the northern and eastern elevations, and the building will likely support numerous private terraces across its setbacks.

The 14th Street subway station is located at the foot of the development, providing convenient access to the F, L, and M trains.
525 Sixth Avenue’s anticipated completion date is slated for spring 2026, as noted on site.

Build taller. The city is needs to grow upwards.
It’s not, “the Greenwich Village of Manhattan”..It’s just ‘Greenwich Village’.. period 😀
Sounds very convenient to everything.
Finally, the last corner of that intersection being built up! I do wish it was bigger in size though, like 20 stories with more units. Alas..
I’m starting to like setbacks on most of the design, so developers don’t like boxy buildings? Thanks.
There should be a minimum number of stories allowed in New construction building to help with the lack of space, like new apartment buildings must be 20 floors minimum or something
this intersection could be a great candidate to be pedestrianized. triple the sidewalk size, raise all the roads and put a fully-bollarded two travel lanes and a bus lane.
Should be shorter. Greenwich Village is not Greenwich Village anymore. We don’t need taller buildings here. Seems like developers are trolling the comment section here. What we need is more housing in Scarsdale, White Plains, Fort Lee, Newark. Manhattan is cra,y crowded as it is.
