400 Park Avenue South is finally going vertical, and the tower is now at its second floor. The Portzamparc-designed building—to have both condominiums and rental apartments—will eventually reach 476 feet in height. The below photos were submitted by YIMBY reader BigGlass, who also sent in a sneak peek of the building’s cladding—the glass will help cement the skyscraper as a neighborhood landmark.
Since the last update, the most obvious change at 400 Park Avenue South is the rise of the superstructure. With work now progressing above ground, the pace of construction seems to be picking up—both because progress is now visible, and because floors below grade typically have the most complex layouts.
Adjacent to 400 Park Avenue South is the Piet Boon-designed Huys, at 404 Park Avenue South. The building remains shrouded in its decorative netting, but that should be coming off relatively soon, as Corcoran’s page on the building shows the tower slated for occupancy in early 2014.
