A new rendering has been revealed for 1146-1150 Sixth Avenue, a 41-story hotel tower in Midtown, Manhattan. Designed by Stonehill Taylor and developed by The Moinian Group, the structure will yield an undisclosed number of rooms and will rise from a narrow interior lot between West 44th and West 45th Streets.
The rendering previews a slender superstructure rising uniformly to a roof deck, followed by a tall bulkhead. The façade will be composed of a reflective glass curtain wall framed with a perimeter of copper-hued paneling, and what appears to be a subtly protruding rectangular volume at its center. The double-height ground floor will be clad in slat paneling and floor-to-ceiling glass.
The site currently sits vacant behind construction fencing. The Moinian Group purchased the property for $39 million in 2011 and later demolished the eight-story structure occupying the lot. Ismael Leyva Architects initially served as the project designer before work stalled in 2020 due to the pandemic. YIMBY expects work to begin ramping up in the coming weeks.

The nearest subways from the development site are the B, D, F, M, and 7 trains at the 42nd Street–Bryant Park station to the south.
1146-1150 Sixth Avenue’s anticipated completion date is slated for September 2029, as noted on the info board.

Bullsh*t setback.
Dramatic photos of am empty space, soon to be plugged up..I’ve seen worse designs.
They need to improve the look of the bulkhead. Looks like mechanical
Hideous. Could not be a worse piece of glass trash. The architects should be ashamed. A total lack of imagination, concern for beauty or any understanding of the need for architecture to enrich the humans served. F-
Couldn’t agree more. This is New York City. Every building should earn its place on the skyline. Mediocrity shouldn’t get a building permit. Ugh!
Gret use of the small space.
Glad something is finally going there but sad that the developer is using this not-even-mediocre design. Meh is too nice.
This points out how disorganized the house numbering system is in Manhattan. The Met Museum is at 1000 Fifth Ave., while this hotel is way downtown and has a higher number. There is even inconsistency as to which side has odd or even numbers from avenue to avenue.
