Exterior work is moving along on 170 West 225th Street, a seven-story residential building in Marble Hill, Manhattan. Designed by Marin Architects and developed by Timber Equities, the 115,000-square-foot structure will yield 115 rental units, with 30 percent reserved for affordable housing. The property is located at the intersection of West 225th Street and Adrian Avenue, adjacent to Spuyten Duyvil Creek.
Recent photographs show the topped-out reinforced concrete superstructure mostly covered in scaffolding and black netting. The grid of window openings has been formed with yellow insulation boards, but the floor-to-ceiling glass has yet to begin installation.

The below renderings show 170 West 225th Street’s façade composed of tan and charcoal-hued paneling surrounding floor-to-ceiling windows with black mullions. Two stacks of balconies are positioned around the center of the main eastern elevation, and a long setback at the sixth story will eventually be topped with a terrace. A garage entrance is depicted at the northeastern corner of the building, and new tree-lined sidewalks will complement the two low-rise garden beds flanking the front doors.

Residential amenities are being curated by Durukan Design and will include an indoor lounge, coworking spaces, a fitness center, and a rooftop lounge with outdoor dining.
The nearest subway is the 1 train at the elevated Marble Hill-225th Street station to the east over Broadway. The Marble Hill station for the Metro-North line is also a short walk to the east.
170 West 225th Street’s anticipated completion date is slated for summer 2025, as noted on site.

Lovely. Will be interesting to see if this can have an impact on one of (Manhattan’s? Bronx’s?) most littered-on and loitered-on streets.
It’s been years since I was in Riverdale or Marble Hill, but I have always thought it is cute how Manhattan has that little slice of land on the Bronx side of the river. When I was younger this was a nice neighborhood, if it’s changed for the worse, let’s hope this project helps. Just off Broadway so it’s a good area to get into the city if one is able to deal with the commute time.
Spuytan Duyvil has always been the “nicer” neighborhood. Marble Hill has always been a bit grimy but relatively stable and safe.
Spuyten Duyvil – like the rest of the Greater Riverdale area still tried to keep a suburban feel. If you got further up the line a few stops in the metro north you see lots of development…. But the Bronx side feels they are developed enough already. The Riverdale station there was even a fight to expand a retirement home complex. Riverdale is more suburban than places like Dobbs Ferry and Sleepy Hollow now when it comes to development now. Spuytin Duyvil is still a little too far from the subway. I mean even Kingsbridge -west of Broadway doesn’t want too many large buildings going up and they are an easy walk to the 1 train. East of Broadway it doesn’t seem to be an issue.
Yeah it’s funny. Hardly anyone “on the ground” really considers it Manhattan. In functionality it operates as part of The Bronx too. A quirk of city charter.
It would nice to see a few more highrises squeezed into the Spuytan Duyvil highlands. I know there was that taller development built about ten years ago now further of the Henry Hudson, but some new 30-40 story towers would really be a welcome update to that mini skyline up there.
I love that Art Deco building in the background with the casement windows, it’s rare for those windows to have survived this long
Don’t jinx it!
That’s 135 W 225th St, constructed 1937, designed by renowned architect Horace Ginsbern. Too bad the original entranceway art deco doors and light sconces weren’t so fortunate
That’s a shame! Art Deco doors tend to have survived more often than Colonial Revival doors for whatever reason
“Al fresco dining!”
How openings are going to comfortable, and the building is now part of the community: Thanks to Michael Young.
