Façade installation is moving along on 842 Sixth Avenue, a 27-story residential tower in NoMad, Manhattan. Designed by Isaac & Stern Architects and developed by Pro-H Development, the 102,600-square-foot structure will yield 94 condominium units and lower-level retail space. 842 Edenview LLC is listed as the owner of the property, which is located on an interior lot between West 29th and West 30th Streets.
The beige sculptural façade columns and arches have begun to frame the loggia balconies on the main western elevation along Sixth Avenue since our last update in early March, when most of the reinforced concrete superstructure was still bare. Most of the windows have also been installed in the voids on the southern party wall.

Meanwhile, crews are enclosing the multistory podium in brick behind scaffolding and netting. This lower fenestration will incorporate arched frames below the inverted stepped cornice. The brick envelope closely matches that of the abutting building to the south.

The renderings show an abundance of greenery adorning the structure, including planter beds along the edge of each loggia and hanging vegetation on the podium.

The tower was built on the existing foundations of the cancelled 26-story AC NoMad Hotel, which was planned to become the tallest modular hotel in the world. Work stalled in 2020 just before construction reached street level. Hung Pin Hung’s Brooklyn-based Pro-H Development then purchased the property in 2024 for $30 million after former developer Robert Chun defaulted on the project’s debt, according to The Real Deal.

Robin Schneiderman of Brown Harris Stevens Development Marketing will lead sales and marketing for the building’s units.
The nearest subways from the development are the B, D, F, M, N, Q, R, and W trains at the 34th Street–Herald Square station to the north, which also offers access to the PATH train to New Jersey.
YIMBY expects 842 Sixth Avenue to complete construction sometime next year.
