YIMBY has obtained exclusive new renderings of 262 Fifth Avenue, a 52-story residential skyscraper under construction in NoMad, Manhattan. Designed by Meganom and developed by Boris Kuzinez of Five Points Development, the 860-foot-tall structure will yield 26 full-floor and duplex condominium units with an average scope of 3,200 square feet, including at least one quadruplex unit. SLCE Architects is the executive architect for the property, which is located at the southwest corner of Fifth Avenue and West 29th Street.
The above and below renderings look south at the tower at dusk, showcasing the views of Lower Manhattan from the upper levels. The second image offers an updated perspective of the illuminated crown. The soaring rectangular frame will be clad in concave gold paneling above the private penthouse terrace, which will come with an outdoor swimming pool.

The following new rendering previews the midpoint open-air cutout, which will serve as a communal terrace. The northern and southern ends will be lined with glass railings for unobstructed skyline views, while the side walls and ceiling will be clad in reflective aluminum paneling.

The first official interior renderings below highlight an upper level unit and its column-free layout. Floor-to-ceiling windows will frame panoramas of the Lower Manhattan skyline to the south and close-up vistas of the Empire State Building to the north. The apartments will make extensive use of wood paneling, and duplex units will feature spiral staircases. One of the eastern elevation’s porthole windows is visible in the first living room image.

Nearly all of the remaining black photovoltaic paneling has been installed on the southern face of the skyscraper’s core since our last update in early April, when the hoist was still mounted to this wall. The same materials will be applied to the western and northern sides of the core, creating a contrast with the reflective glass curtain wall.

Sidewalk barriers and metal fencing still surround the ground level of the property, where the cantilevering half-moon entrance canopy is taking shape.

Window installation is moving along on the slender western elevation. Many of the voids are still covered with wooden boards as crews continue to finish the core’s concrete surface.

Nikki Field and Ben Pofcher from The Field Team at Sotheby’s International Realty will lead sales and marketing for the units, working in partnership with The Sotheby’s International Realty Development Advisors.
The nearest subways from the development are the local R and W trains at the 28th Street station along Broadway.
262 Fifth Avenue’s anticipated completion date is slated for December 2026, as updated on the info board.

Tax new condos at market assessments.
go check the tax bills , they pay thru the nose already .
regardless if you do not like this one. or whatever.
Condo and co-op is the system of home ownership for ……New Yorkers..
The buildings are taxed the same as apartment buildings – already a huge portion of city budget.
why do you think folks who actually invest in the city has lesser rights then renters
I’m getting a heat stroke just looking at this building..
The placement of this supertall is unfortunate.
Not a Supertall. But yes.
Bigger isn’t better. Sadly NY is loosing it. Europes major cities are a human scale unlike NYC.
You only have skyscrapers like this in very select areas of the city. A much larger portion of the city is dominated by low to midrises.
That “communal loggia” is the final smack in the face. What a joke. Positively worthless souless space that not a single person will ever ever use. Everyone involved in this project should be ashamed of themselves for the great damage this building has done to our great city.
If 520 5th was at this location, it wouldn’t be bad at all. But this design is just terrible… soulness cheese grater
Here’s hoping a decent wind will make living here unbearable.
Then after many years of empty neglect, it will be torn down.
Nobody will live here its just a money dump for billionaires so there will be no complaints
Disgusting, wasteful, a monument to greed and excess. All of NYC’s zoning intricacies and somehow this monstrosity is legal?
While much is (rightly) made of how this building ruins the view of the ESB from points south, can we also say that the way it meets the street is a disgrace? Looking up and down Fifth, it looks like there is an empty lot on that corner – a missing tooth in one of New York’s great march of buildings…
Wild that a building this tall will yield only 26 homes.
If (when) this 52-story building needs major structural/mechanical/plumbing work down the road, the assessment that will hit each of these 26 units will be astronomical.
many types of money laundering at foot here
It goes out of its way to be villainous and malevolent.
