At number 17 on our year-end countdown of the tallest buildings under construction in New York is The Maybury, a 520-foot-tall residential skyscraper wrapping up work at 550 Tenth Avenue in Hell’s Kitchen. Designed by Handel Architects and developed by Gotham Organization and Goldman Sachs Asset Management JV, the 47-story structure spans 430,000 square feet and yields 453 rental units, with 137 reserved for affordable housing, as well as 9,000 square feet of lower-level retail space, over 20,000 square feet of amenities, and 26,764 square feet of administrative office space for Covenant House. GO Covenant LLC is the owner of the property, which is located along Tenth Avenue between West 40th and 41st Streets.
All of the bronze-hued paneling and floor-to-ceiling windows have been installed across the exterior since our last update in early June, when the hoist was still attached to the western elevation along Tenth Avenue and the sidewalk shed, construction barriers, and metal fencing were still up. Recent photographs show crews in the process of dismantling the last of the sidewalk shed, doing some touch-ups around the front entrance and ground-floor frontage, and hauling crates of scraps along West 40th Street. The floor-to-ceiling windows have also been washed and the glass railings are in place along the setbacks and outdoor terraces above the podium and near the top of the building. Workers are quickly finishing the last of the interiors.

There is quite a bit going on here.
I like what they achieved with the angles of the cladding and the way they separated the street wall from the tower.
But it’s weird to me when cladding appears to play a structural role while also looking like it doesn’t have the strength to hold up anything. Starts to feel like tinsel on a Christmas tree.
The facade here looks only like a facade, no more, no less.
Hell’s Kitchen continues to get more spiffy..
This project has come a long way since that crane fire and collapse. Glad it turned out well
Awesome pics and love the facade color
It’s a block away from the Bus Terminal, with perpetual traffic jams, and horrendous air pollution.
So is every building along West Street, the FDR, BQE and Queens Boulevard
Oh, this is an interesting design. It’s unique and abstract, and it works.
I can’t wait until 2065 when I can enter in the base of this tower the new 5 billion dollar infill 7 train station.
