Last week, YIMBY brought you news that the Landmarks Preservation Commission voted to calendar sections of the interior of the 44-story, 1,413-key Waldorf Astoria New York hotel at 301 Park Avenue, located on an entire Midtown block. Now, as part of a planned mixed-use conversion, property owner Anbang Insurance Group has filed applications to convert large swaths of the tower into residential units.
Foundation work is underway on the 12-story, nine-unit residential building under development at 117 West 21st Street, in Chelsea. Dubbed The Twenty1, the latest building permits indicate the project will measure 32,541 square feet and rise 120 feet above street level to its roof. The residential units will be condominiums and should average 3,616 square feet apiece. There will be a single townhouse-style unit, six full-floor units, and two duplexes. The Amirian Group is the developer and GRADE Architecture is behind the design. Completion is expected in 2017.
Construction is nearly finished on 432 Park Avenue, the tallest residential building in the Western hemisphere. Five open-air mechanical floors on the 1,396-foot-tall skyscraper will be lit every day at sunset starting Monday, and we have photos of the display.
