Construction has approached the top floors at 80 Clarkson, a two-tower residential complex along the Hudson River waterfront in Manhattan’s West Village. Designed by COOKFOX Architects and SLCE Architects and developed by Zeckendorf Development, Atlas Capital Group, and the Baupost Group, the project consists of 37- and 45-story structures standing 420 and 490 feet tall, respectively. The $1.25 billion development will span approximately 650,000 square feet and yield 112 condominium units, nearly 37,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space, and enclosed parking for 69 vehicles. The mixed-use property is bound by Clarkson Street to the north, West Houston Street to the south, the 17-story 570 Washington Street to the east, and West Street to the west.
Crews held an early private topping out ceremony on Wednesday June 18 and are currently finishing the last set of perimeter columns, walls and floor plates on the westernmost tower. Recent photographs show the tallest of the two reinforced concrete skyscrapers closing in on its 45-story pinnacle, while the shorter 37-story residential counterpart to the east topped out at the end of May. Facade installation is steadily progressing across the lower levels of the project, while a large amount of orange netting is temporarily hung across much of the two buildings for now.

The renderings above and below by DBOX showcase 80 Clarkson’s intricate cubic form of stepped setbacks and pocketed terraces. Each of the towers rises from a shared podium, all of which will be clad in warm limestone paneling framing a uniform grid of square floor-to-ceiling windows lined with bronze mullions, and several large balconies. Both towers culminate in landscaped roof decks.
Additional renderings illustrate 80 Clarkson’s vehicular entryway, which will be flanked by large angled walls bearing the building’s address and tall decorative metal paneling with tree motif cutouts. The central outdoor space of the motor courtyard will be surrounded by double-height walls adorned with more of the tree-patterned paneling, while a spherical fountain sculpture will sit in the center of the outdoor space.

The development team acquired the full-block parcel for $340 million in early 2022, and also secured a $965 million construction loan from London-based Cale Street Partners and San Francisco-based Farallon Capital Management to cover the condominiums.
80 Clarkson has a projected $2 billion sellout, and sales will be led by Dan Tubb and Amy Williamson. Some of the mentioned amenities will include a fitness center, pool, spa and hot and cold plunges.
The nearest subways from the ground-up development are the 1 train at the Houston Street station to the east along Varick Street, as well as the C and E trains at the Spring Street station to the southeast.
Construction on 80 Clarkson is slated for completion in December 2026, as noted on site.

They should all be this good..
Great photography of a beautiful addition to the Manhattan skyline and West Village.
Fantastic shots Michael! 😍 Everyone should see his Instagram
@mchlanglo793
He tends to include additional imagery & videos on his Instagram too!
Thank you so much. It is so nice to see so much more of his work. As you mentioned videos are included.
Great idea to set up outside tables so the rest of us can sell water bottles. lol .
I’m sure it will be filled with artists and other Village ‘characters’!
Not sure why the taller building is the one against the water.
More units placed against the riverfront
Nice buildings, and too bad for Google – can’t see their grand entrance any longer!
The massing and forms of the towers is really quite excellent. The mismatched window sizes and clearly very thin limestone tile walls are not so successful. So don’t get too close.
Ok, a ‘few’ of these windows here might be of a different size, (not uncommon in higher end buildings) and this bothers you because…?
The Indiana Limestone material in a precast structure is a highly engineered and proven design. The 2″ limestone is laid face down in a mold, then anchors are applied and poured in a structure of concrete. These “panels” are applied to the building with the window previously installed.
Thank you Kenny, you are obviously someone who knows what they are talking about, and when this facade application is finished, and its anchor system is out sight, the Limestone facade will look great.
Hooray! Another slam dunk deposit in the vaults of the lucky developers.
The kind of scale and quality of this development here on this stretch of the Hudson River has been decades overdue. Hopefully it can serve as a model for other waterfront sites.
Whose the MEP and Structural engineers?
wow this building is coming up so fast. This is a rare new development high-rise in west village, meaning the price will be VERY high, at least $3k/sqft median
I believe this complex includes an affordable housing component for seniors in the 17 story component. Is that omitted here?
Actually in the 12th picture down you can see the SAH project fully clad of Indiana Limestone material and complete on the exterior. It is considered 15 stories.
Why are these the only tall buildings allowed on West Street? Will somebody explain?
Should turn out nice
Suffolk Construction hit the city a few years back and has been hitting it hard-Nice Job!
