Permits have been filed for a 35-story residential building at 212 West 29th Street in Chelsea, Manhattan. Located between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, the lot is one block north of the 28th Street subway station, served by the 1 train. Lipa Engel is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 353-foot-tall development will yield 44,039 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 78 residences, most likely rentals based on the average unit scope of 564 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar and a 30-foot-long rear yard.
Lester Katz is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits were filed last month for the four-story building on the site. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

Another wrecking of old NY charm for a stupid AI glass building
While I agree AI is stupid and a plague on humanity, you’re really jumping to conclusions here with no facts to back up the assumption that the designer will use it here.
Who’s Al?
214-228 seems to be empty, and 230 is for sale.
214-228 is being marketed as a residential conversion, not demolition as I believe it is an individual Landmark
Thank you for the info.
don’t see much old NY charm here
