Excavation is moving along at 430 West 37th Street, the site of an 11-story residential building in Hell’s Kitchen, Manhattan. Designed by Archimaera Architecture and developed by ZD Jasper, the 120-foot-tall structure will span 128,331 square feet and yield 128 rental units with an average scope of 924 square feet. The project will also include 9,584 square feet of commercial space, 455 square feet of community space, and two cellar levels. The property is located on a through-block lot between Ninth and Tenth Avenues, directly west of the exit lanes from the Lincoln Tunnel to Dyer Avenue.
Crews have progressed below street level since our last update in early January, when the site was being used as a staging area for the construction of the nearby Vita New York condominium project. A team of excavators is currently working below grade and steel beams have been erected to provide temporary support for the surrounding walls. The ramp leading down to the site is on the northern end of the parcel along West 37th Street.

The renderings show the project separated into northern and southern wings joined along the western edge of the property. A private courtyard will separate the volumes, and numerous balconies will line the walls facing the interior. Additional private outdoor space will come in the form of terraces atop the stepped setbacks on the outer ends of each wing. The structure will feature two bulkheads and landscaped communal roof decks.

The façade is depicted of gray metal paneling with protruding frames around a staggered grid of floor-to-ceiling windows. White vertical fins are also shown spaced at irregular intervals over the fenestration. The main entrance is positioned at the center of the northern elevation, as seen in the below image, and is flanked by tall windows for the ground-floor commercial space.
The below axonometric zoning diagram gives an aerial perspective of the shape of the building. The southern wing will stand ten stories and features a slightly smaller footprint than its larger northern counterpart.

The nearest subways from the development are the 7 train at the 34th Street-Hudson Yards station to the southwest and the A, C, and E trains at the 42nd Street-Port Authority Bus Terminal station to the north.
ZD Jasper purchased the through-block site for $52 million from Extell Development in March 2022.
430 West 37th Street’s anticipated completion date is slated for August 2026, as noted on site.

nice massing
What is “massing?”
Just another name for the form or distribution of the bulk — or square footage — of the structure.
Maybe a bit more affordable than actual Hudson Yards?
Good infill project
Why only 11 floors in this location?
