Construction has topped out on 35 West 14th Street, a 12-story mixed-use residential building in Chelsea, Manhattan. Designed by Studio C Architects and developed by Nexus Development, the 125-foot-tall structure will yield 48 condominium units along with ground-floor retail space. The property is located between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, on the border with Greenwich Village.
The entire reinforced concrete superstructure was built since our last update in April 2025, when demolition was still wrapping up on the final structure that formerly occupied the assemblage at 31 West 14th Street. The building now stands built to its pinnacle with an American flag marking the milestone of structural completion. Framing and façade work have yet to begin.

The rendering previews the building clad in a glass curtain wall on its upper and side profiles and gray beveled precast concrete paneling on the center of the lower levels below the ninth-floor setback. This section will feature a grid of operable windows with top and side hinges, and will be flanked by columns of balconies with glass railings. Two additional balconies will protrude from the upper stories.
The site was formerly occupied by three low-rise structures. Nexus purchased the assemblage for $14.4 million in October 2023.

The nearest subways from the project are the F, L, M, and PATH trains at the 14th Street station along Sixth Avenue, and the 4, 5, 6, L, N, Q, R, and W trains at the 14th Street–Union Square station on Union Square West.
35 West 14th Street is anticipated to be completed sometime in the second half of 2027.

Looks like the balconies on the left aren’t happening, which is a good thing. Based on that and other changes visible in concrete structure, I would suspect the finished product will only look vaguely like the rendering. Hoping for the best.
Also the flanking structures are begging for redevelopment.
