    Exterior work is progressing quickly on 1228 Madis Exterior work is progressing quickly on 1228 Madison Avenue, a 20-story residential building on the Upper East Side. Designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects and developed by CBSK Ironstate, a partnership of CB Developers, SK Development, and Ironstate, the property will yield 15 units with interiors by Kelly Behun Studio. The site is located along Madison Avenue between East 88th and 89th Streets, just behind Frank Lloyd Wright’s Guggenheim Museum. The main eastern profile facing Madison Avenue features varying neutral-toned bricks that are hand laid in a running bond closely matching a Flemish bond layout. Light- and dark-colored bricks are asymmetrically spaced out across the fenestration between the grid of windows and their stone window sills and aprons. The upper half of the building remains mostly covered in black netting and scaffolding, though some elements of the stepped back crown on the shorter northern side can be spotted. This includes a series of four interlocked circles carved in stone within a vertically oriented rectangular frame and a number of horizontal limestone lines breaking up the even brick surfaces. Most of the units will come with Juliet balconies and private outdoor spaces. Occupancy at 1228 Madison Avenue is estimated for fall 2021. Construction photographs by @mchlanglo793
    Construction is now complete on Beckford House and Construction is now complete on Beckford House and Beckford Tower, a pair of completed residential buildings in the Yorkville section of Manhattan’s Upper East Side. The 21-story, 215-foot-tall Beckford House at 301 East 81st Street (also addressed as 1562 Second Avenue) and the 31-story Beckford Tower at 301 East 80th Street are designed by Studio Sofield and SLCE Architects and developed by Icon Realty Management, with CM & Associates in charge of construction. The site is located along Second Avenue between East 80th and 81st Streets. New photographs show the completed look of the Brynne Brownstone and Indiana Limestone façades diffusing the light between the grid of windows, some of which feature ornate dark-colored railings. verall the architecture and design of each building contextually fits within the local neighborhood, evoking the classic and traditional New York residential style thanks to its setbacks, regard for detail, and choice of materials.
    Construction at 200 Amsterdam Avenue, the Upper We Construction at 200 Amsterdam Avenue, the Upper West Side’s current tallest skyscraper is approaching the finish line. Designed by Elkus Manfredi Architects and developed by SJP Properties and Mitsui Fudosan America, the topped out 668-foot-tall, 52-story reinforced concrete structure spans 283,000 square feet with the interior designs by CetraRuddy. The skyscraper made and achieved a significant leap towards completion today as New York State’s Appellate Division, First Department, issued its decision on 200 Amsterdam Avenue, ruling in favor of the building’s developers by unanimously overturning the lower court’s ruling that sought to retroactively apply a draft zoning interpretation to the already-constructed building. In this case, it would've proposed the removal of about 20 floors from the top of the edifice. The valid DOB permit for the address has remained in place since 2017 and work progressed unabated. 200 Amsterdam Avenue is expected to finish work in the first quarter of 2021 and open to residents later this summer. Stay tuned for YIMBY's upcoming post about the project and more information about the residence tomorrow at 8:00AM. Photograph by @mchlanglo793
    SF YIMBY recently announced that new planning appl SF YIMBY recently announced that new planning applications for phase one of the six-acre, 5,367,860-square foot Potrero Power Station mega-development in Dogpatch, San Francisco have been filed. This calls for the design review of three buildings: Blocks 7A and 8 designed by London-based Foster + Partners; and an eight-story, 98-unit, 100% affordable housing structure at block 7B by Leddy Maytum Stacy Architects. Block 7A will rise 240 feet tall at 25 stories, making it the tallest of the whole development with 277 apartments, three retail spaces. Meanwhile Block 8 will rise 140 feet above street level with 249 units. Block 7B's 96-foot tall superstructure will yield ​81,400 square feet, with 3,000 square feet allocated towards ground-floor retail and 78,400 square feet of residential use divided into 58 studios, 33 one-bedrooms, and seven two-bedroom units.  Also part of Block 7B's design program is a community room, and a residential courtyard. Associate Capital’s California Barrel Company LLC is managing the Potero Power Station redevelopment project, which will eventually bring 2,682 apartments, with 388 studios, 1,159 one-bedroom units, 867 two-bedroom units, and 268 three-bedroom units. Check out our article on SF YIMBY for all the extensive details, additional renderings, and diagram of the waterfront project and master plan.
    Construction is now complete on 180 East 88th Stre Construction is now complete on 180 East 88th Street, a 50-story residential tower and the tallest building on the Upper East Side above 72nd Street. Designed and developed by DDG with HTO Architects as the architect of record, the 100,242-square-foot structure yields 48 half- and full-floor homes, averaging 2,088 square feet apiece that are marketed by Corcoran Sunshine.  Global Holdings Management is also part of the development team for the project, which is located along Third Avenue between East 88th and 89th Streets, directly across from a Whole Foods Market and a short walk from the 86th Street station, servicing the 4, 5, and 6 trains. Recent photos show the completed look of the Kolumba brick masonry walls, which are made by Denmark-based firm Petersen Tegl, and the pair of arches on the midway and upper portion of the edifice appearing finished. Check out our article from last week to see and read more about the residences and amenities. Photographs by @mchlanglo793
    Above is a golden hour rendering by @dboxcg that l Above is a golden hour rendering by @dboxcg that looks directly up the avenues of Midtown, Manhattan towards Vornado Realty Trust's proposed Penn District. Penn 15, located at 15 Penn Plaza is to be the tallest structure of the 7.4-million-square-foot complex and is slated to rise to 1,270 feet tall. Designed by Foster + Partners, this would place it amongst some of the tallest structures in New York City. Its architectural height would surpass  the coveted yet publicly inaccessible circular 103rd floor observatory of the Empire State Building, and The Edge at Hudson Yards that cantilevers 1,131 feet above the city. The rendering makes it clear that a majority of office floors will get abundant daylight exposure and expansive views of Lower Manhattan and the New York harbor to the south, the Hudson River and sunsets over New Jersey, and Billionaire's Row with Central Park to the north.@dboxcg
    Work has still yet to finish on the amorphous mirr Work has still yet to finish on the amorphous mirrored “bean” sculpture at the base of 56 Leonard Street, an 821-foot-tall residential skyscraper in Tribeca. The art piece, which sits partially complete between the sidewalk and the cantilevering ceiling of the ground floor by the intersection of Church and Leonard Streets, is the work of Anish Kapoor. Herzog & de Meuron and Hill West Architects are the designers of the tower, one of the tallest structures in Lower Manhattan. Recent photos show the back side of the bean facing 56 Leonard Street in place, while the inner hollow cutout has been boarded up with plywood until work resumes on the project. The chrome finish and joints between each of the panels we see so far appear smooth and seamless. The rest of the bean will bulge outward to the east and create a distorted reflection of the surrounding buildings. A completion date for Anish Kapoor’s sculpture is unclear, but it’s possible that work could resume once the weather gets warmer.
    The eastern profile of 53 West 53rd Street makes a The eastern profile of 53 West 53rd Street makes an architecturally  dramatic and contrasting appearance against the orthodox shaped skyscrapers that surround the stunning 1,050-foot tall mixed-use residence. The supertall is the work of French architect Jean Nouvel and sits directly adjacent to the Museum of Modern Art, which extends itself into the lower floors of the reinforced concrete edifice to create more space for some of the world's most famous artworks and sculptures. Above is a diagrid of columns that rest between a curtain wall of glass and metal panels that peak with three apexes of different heights. A tuned mass damper is hidden within the taller central pinnacle and keeps the slender structure and its 145 homes safely standing over Midtown, Manhattan, which are spread across 77 levels.

The shortest building under construction seen here is FXCollaborative's 601 West 29th Street, while the two tallest are Foster + Partner's 50 Hudson Yards and Bjarke Ingels Group's 66 Hudson Boulevard, aka The Spiral. All three structures are now topped out and have added to the growing Midtown skyline near the Hudson River. Photograph by @mchlanglo793
