A new rendering has been revealed for 245 West 55th Street, an 18-story renovation and expansion in Midtown, Manhattan. Developed by New Jersey-based Mandelbaum & Mandelbaum under the 245 West 55th St LLC, the project involves the construction of six new stories above the roof parapet of the current 135-foot-tall mixed-use building, as well as the gut renovation of its 70,000 square feet of interiors and possible residential conversion of its commercial space.

The property is located on an interior lot between Eighth Avenue and Broadway.
