    Construction is complete on Beckford House and Bec Construction is complete on Beckford House and Beckford Tower, a pair of residential buildings in the Yorkville neighborhood of Manhattan’s Upper East Side. The 21-story, 215-foot-tall Beckford House is addressed as 301 East 81st Street and also secondarily addressed as 1562 Second Avenue. Its taller 31-story sibling, Beckford Tower, rises across the street at 301 East 80th Street. The architecturally cohesive structures are designed by Studio Sofield and SLCE Architects and developed by Icon Realty Management, with CM & Associates in charge of construction. The two-tower development is located along Second Avenue between East 80th and 81st Streets. Each of the edifices are clad in Brynne Brownstone and Indiana Limestone and feature traditional grids of windows, some of which are decorated with ornate railings. Several of the windows on the upper floors are arched. There are a handful of units still available, and so far the most expensive of the remaining homes is a 3,371-square-foot four-bedroom, four-and-a-half bathroom penthouse on the 18th floor off Beckford House asking $9.5 million, and a 5,452-square-foot six-bedroom, seven-and-a-half bathroom penthouse with an additional 893 square feet of exterior terrace space on the 30th floor of Beckford Tower for $30 million.

    Construction has topped out on 200 East 83rd Stree Construction has topped out on 200 East 83rd Street, a 449-foot-tall residential tower designed by Robert A.M. Stern on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Developed by Naftali Group and Rockefeller Group, the 243,128-square-foot structure rises 35 stories and will yield 86 units spread over 205,877 square feet, for an average scope of 2,393 square feet. SLCE Architects is the architect of record for the project, which is located at the corner of Third Avenue and East 83rd Street. More of the ornate façade panels have gone up on the main western elevation, as well as on the northern and southern sides. The building massing incorporates several gentle setbacks that are mostly focused around the podium and on the upper levels that make up the multifaceted crown. The exterior hoist is placed alongside the eastern wall, while the yellow construction crane is attached to the northern corner. All the safety cocoon netting has been taken down since the tower finished topping out. Some of the exterior panels underneath the windows have floral motifs, while others have Juliet balconies. Scattered across each side are various etched geometric patterns, adding an extra layer of depth and texture to the character and architecture of 200 East 83rd Street. 200 East 83rd Street is slated to be finished in the winter of 2022.

    Aria Development Group has submitted applications Aria Development Group has submitted applications to the Urban Development Review Board, and are seeking approvals for the construction of their upcoming 40-story tower known as 501 First Residences in Downtown Miami. Revuelta Architecture International is the designer and interiors are being done by Shim Projects. Located at 501 Northeast 1st Avenue that includes addresses 121 NE 5th Street and 515 NW 2nd Avenue, the tower is expected to yield 393,912 square feet, including 448 fully furnished luxury residential units and 3,127 square feet of commercial space. Schematics reveal the height of the structure which is going to be 427 feet tall. 501 First Residences will feature micro units starting from the 5th floor ending at the 36th floor, with the amenity spaces and common areas located on floors 3 to 11, 37 and 40. The retail component is located on the ground floor with frontage on NE 1st Avenue. The 448 fully furnished residences will start at $300,000; configured in studio, 1-bedroom and 2 bedroom floor plans throughout levels 4 through 36. Smaller studio apartments range from 385 square feet to 458 square feet; 1-bedroom units range between 550 square feet to 606 square feet; and the larger 2-bedroom units offer 835 square feet of space. The application will be reviewed on June 16, 2021. If approved, demolition and clearing of the site could soon commence. Read out full article on Florida YIMBY.
    Demolition of the Union Carbide Building, JP Morga Demolition of the Union Carbide Building, JP Morgan Chase‘s former 52-story, 707-foot-tall headquarters at 270 Park Avenue, is now complete as work progresses on its supertall replacement. The remnants of the core and lower levels of the mid-century skyscraper were quickly dismantled and removed since our last update on the Midtown East project just a mere month ago. Meanwhile, on the opposite side of the full-block parcel, steelwork is continuing on the new 2.5 million-square-foot, 1,425-foot-tall tower, which will become one of the tallest structures in New York City. The large rectangular site is bound by Park Avenue to the east, Madison Avenue to the west, East 47th Street to the south, and East 48th Street to the north. Photographs by @mchlanglo793 from last month showed the temporary steel platform for the construction crane that helped to bring down the old steel structure attached to the final portion of the core and inner framework of deep trusses. All of this no longer exists as crews have successfully disassembled the Union Carbide Building over the past couple of years. Fencing, wooden boards, and sidewalk scaffolding surround the footprint of the former edifice. Right now, the absence of the office tower provides a rare unobstructed perspective of the surrounding glass and steel skyscrapers and gives an impression of just how big JP Morgan Chase’s future headquarters will be. See the full set of images and story on New York YIMBY's article from last week.
    The Melo Group has their eyes set on redeveloping The Melo Group has their eyes set on redeveloping 3.68 acres of land spanning several blocks beside Biscayne Bay in Edgewater. The developers previously unveiled plans for Island Bay, two twin 60-story mixed-use towers featuring designs by Arquitectonica back in the summer of 2019. Both towers would reach 637 fee tall, or 649-feet above sea level, and be addressed as 700 Northeast 24th Street, which includes approximately 168,262 square feet of total area across 24 parcels. Although not under construction just yet, Island Bay has been making steady progress towards ground breaking since it’s inception. In early 2020, The Melo Group inked a utilities deal with Miami-Dade County at the cost of $602,000 to connect the 792 proposed units between both towers to the water and sewer systems. Last November, the developers submitted applications to the FAA for height approval, which was approved in March. In February The Melo Group  proceeded to apply for new construction permits to build a single-story 4,460-square-foot sales center at 725 NE 24th Street at the cost of $780,550. All of the single-family homes that once stood within the subject property were demolished throughout 2017, with one or two more structures left to demolish. Work is already underway on the bay-walk that will ultimately set the towers back from the edge. New construction permits for the pair of towers have not been applied for as of yet. See our full story and set of renderings on Florida YIMBY.
    Exterior work is moving along on 115 East 55th Str Exterior work is moving along on 115 East 55th Street, an 18-story residential building in Midtown East. Designed by SLCE Architects for Zeckendorf Development, the 185-foot-tall, 71,961-square-foot structure will yield 62 units. The property is located between Park and Lexington Avenues, directly adjacent to the rear of Norman Foster‘s 47-story, 660,000-square-foot 425 Park Avenue. Since our last update in late March, the reinforced concrete superstructure has topped out and work has shifted to the installation of the warm-colored stone façade, which now covers much of the main southern elevation. Photographs show the textural details in the prewar-inspired stone panels that are being individually hung into place using a telescopic boom crane. Several other pieces of the fenestration have arrived on flatbeds and are awaiting installation. Other decorative elements in the exterior design include thick cornices, dark metal railings placed in front of several Juliet balconies, and an elegantly curved canopy over the main entrance along East 55th Street. All 62 homes are expected to be spread over 59,819 square feet. Each of these would average 964 square feet. 115 East 55th Street is set to be finished next March. Construction photographs by @mchlanglo793
    New renderings reveal a rebuilt State/Lake CTA L S New renderings reveal a rebuilt State/Lake CTA L Station in The Loop district of Chicago. Located at the intersection of W Lake Street and N State Street, the station connects numerous CTA L Lines including the Green, Brown, Purple, Orange, and Pink Lines. Connections to the Red Line and multiple bus lines are also possible at this location. Built for the Chicago Transit Authority, the CTA is collaborating with the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) on the project. The new State/Lake CTA station will replace the more than 100-year-old existing structure with a modern, fully accessible rail hub with wider platforms and a host of customer amenities. It includes wide balconies open to the public facing north and south that create scenic overlooks of N State Street, including an up-close view of the landmark Chicago Theater. The design and construction process are being led by CDOT on behalf of the CTA. Designed by Skidmore Owings & Merrill, the station features platforms that are double the current width to better accommodate customers. It also includes a full-coverage, glass canopy to protect customers from rain and snow, as well as a walkway connecting the inner and outer platforms. There will also be four elevators located at each corner of State and Lake, up from zero, to make the station fully accessible. The total projected cost is approximately $180 million, and the City of Chicago is seeking additional funding from various potential sources. Once the design process is complete and full funding is obtained, it will take about three years to complete construction of the new station.
    Looking down at the sharp crown of 400 Park Avenue Looking down at the sharp crown of 400 Park Avenue South, designed by Christian de Portzamparc, and the highly reflective glass curtain wall that uniformly wraps around all sides of the 40-story 81-unit residential skyscraper. Multiple angled setbacks make up the upper levels of the structure, while the sloped perimeter walls create a unique, asymmetrical, and sculptural building massing that easily differentiates itself from the surrounding NoMad neighborhood. 400 Avenue Park Avenue South was one of the first new wave of buildings from the past decade to go up in the district, which is still witnessing and undergoing a massive construction boom of hotels, office space, and residences by other prominent architects.
