    Construction wraps up on the Margaritaville Resort Construction wraps up on the Margaritaville Resort New York at 560 Seventh Avenue in Times Square. Designed by Stonehill Taylor for Soho Properties and MHP Real Estate Services, the 32-story, 375-foot-tall project is set to open next on July 1 with 234 guest rooms and island-inspired interiors designed by the McBride Company. The Midtown, Manhattan property is located at the corner of Seventh Avenue and West 40th Street. Photographs by @mchlanglo793 show the newly installed signage for Jimmy Buffett Margaritaville and the Land Shark Bar and Grill. On top of the podium will be New York City’s only year-round heated outdoor swimming pool with an appropriate beach-themed design as part of the 140-seat Landshark Bar & Grill. Other eateries planned to operate are a two-story 492-seat Margaritaville Restaurant with a 32-foot-tall replica of the Statue of Liberty raising a margarita, a 75-seat indoor-outdoor License to Chill Bar and Joe Merchant’s Coffee & Provisions on the fifth floor, and a two-story rooftop bar called the 5 O’Clock Somewhere Bar with wide views over Midtown. Above, the main tower is now completely encased with the glass and metal paneling up to the mechanical extensions. Guest room features include walk-in rain showers, St. Somewhere bath amenities, a Keurig coffee maker, complimentary Wi-Fi and USB outlets, and Margaritaville bed linens. Margaritaville Resort New York will also yield 4,861 square feet of ground-floor retail space with 160 feet of frontage spanning both West 40th Street and Seventh Avenue.
    The Melo Group officially launched sales on the so The Melo Group officially launched sales on the south tower of Aria Reserve Miami. It's set to rise on 5 acres of land addressed as 700 Northeast 24th Street in Edgewater, Miami. The floor count has been bumped up to 62 stories and the towers should rise to 649 feet above sea level, granting the development the title of the tallest waterfront residential twin buildings in the country, yielding a total of 782 residences. Aria Reserve Miami is designed by Bernardo Fort-Brescia of Arquitectonica, and will feature interiors by MORADA-Haute Furniture Boutique with landscaping by ArquitectonicaGEO. The combined waterfront frontage between both structures is 550 feet long, offering clean and unobstructed views of Biscayne Bay, Miami Beach and beyond into the Atlantic Ocean. The south tower will yield 391 residences including 15 penthouses, each featuring private elevators, 10-foot ceiling heights, open-floor concepts and expansive terraces with panoramic views. Residences come in 1-to-4 bedroom floor plans ranging between 1,100-to-2,600 square feet in size, while the limited penthouse collection will start from 3,500-to-9000 square feet. The larger foot-print units pertain to the triplex penthouses, of which there will be 3 available for purchase. Residences will be priced from $750,000 up to $2,000,000, while the penthouse collection will cost as high as $12,000,000 for one of the triplex units. Construction on the south tower is expected to commence in early 2022, which completion scheduled for 2024. See our Florida YIMBY article for the list of amenities and other information.
    Exterior work is closing in on completion at 1228 Exterior work is closing in on completion at 1228 Madison Avenue, a 20-story residential building on Manhattan’s 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, directly behind Frank Lloyd Wright’s Guggenheim Museum. Since our last update in late February, the scaffolding has been removed from the upper levels. The highlight of the design is undoubtedly the pre-war inspired crown, where the mechanical units are hidden behind ventilation grilles that blend with the rest of the prewar-style fenestration. The grid of windows and their stone window sills and aprons form part of the intricate envelope. Other aspects include varying brick running bond patterns, thick stone cornices, Juliet balconies, and a series of four interlocked circles carved in stone within a vertically oriented rectangular frame on the north side of the stepped crown’s mechanical extension. Occupancy at 1228 Madison Avenue is expected this fall, and will yield 14 full-floor residences and one duplex penthouse. Construction photographs by @mchlanglo793

    Façade work has reached the crown of 150 East 78t Façade work has reached the crown of 150 East 78th Street, a 16-story residential building in the Upper East Side. Developed by Midwood Investment & Development and EJS Group and designed by Robert A. M. Stern Architects with Ismael Leyva Architects as executive architect and residential layout designer, the 205-foot-tall property will yield 25 units ranging from three- to five-bedroom condominiums. Sales have launched and are being handled by Compass Development Marketing Group. Located at the corner of East 78th Street and Lexington Avenue, the superstructure has its black netting and scaffolding removed with only a minimal amount remaining around the ground floor. Wooden platforms have also been taken down. It’s now possible to appreciate the hand-laid craftsmanship of the façade, from the large Indiana limestone blocks on the first few levels and up to the multifaceted crown. Thick stone cornices are positioned at each setback, and will be topped with ornate black railings. Most of the windows have been installed, with the most notable exception of the large arched windows on the upper floors. Smaller arched windows are found on the second level of both the northern and western sides of 150 East 78th Street and are much narrower and tightly spaced. Warm-colored bricks surround the grid of windows and are laid with varying vertical and horizontal running bond patterns. Residences will occupy 68,293 square feet, and the property will also include 3,739 square feet of ground-floor retail. Occupancy at 150 East 78th Street is expected later this summer.

    Terra Group and GFO Investment have started sales Terra Group and GFO Investment have started sales on Miami's Five Park, a 48-story skyscraper that will soon hold the title of the tallest building in all of Miami Beach. Addressed as 500 Alton Road, the structure is anticipated to rise 519 feet tall, towering over the entrance to South Beach. Designed by Arquitectonica with Gabellini Sheppard handling interiors, the development will yield approximately 278 residences and nearly 40,000 square feet of amenities. The site of the tower was once home to South Shore Hospital, who’s concrete frame sat abandoned for nearly a decade and fell into disrepair. The structure was strategically imploded and demolished in April of 2019 to make way for the new project. The FAA gave the green-light for the permission to build the new structure in October 2020, and just recently, the developers announced the closing of a $345 million construction loan from Blackstone and Apollo Global Management, which cleared the way for the rise of Five Park. Douglas Elliman is leading sales of 98 condos, which will come in 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom, 4-bedroom and 5-bedroom floor plans, ranging from 1,434 square feet to 6000 square feet, all with private elevator access, generous 10-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glass windows and sliding doors. The units will start from the 30th floor all the way up to the 48th floor. Groundbreaking has already occurred and foundation work is underway. The reinforced concrete superstructure should go vertical relatively soon, and completion is scheduled for some time in 2023.
    Work is continuing on the stone and glass exterior Work is continuing on the stone and glass exterior of The Leyton, a 30-story residential tower at 1059 Third Avenue on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Designed by Manuel Glas Architects for Real Estate Inverlad and Third Palm Capital with interiors by Frampton Co. and Champalimaud Design, the 127,000-square-foot structure will yield 38 residences with sales and marketing led by Brown Harris Stevens Development Marketing. The inventory includes ten full-floor homes and one duplex. 1059 Third Avenue is located by the intersection of Third Avenue and East 63rd Street. Photographs show the progress on the envelope since our last update in November, when much of the underlying metal framework was still exposed. Now the façade encloses most of the tower, and the mostly blank concrete wall on the wider southern elevation is substantially covered in neutral-toned stone slabs with only a couple gaps in the envelope left to be filled. The slender western side facing Third Avenue features a more dynamic exterior with overlapping materials, a multi-story podium wrapped in glass, setbacks near the roof parapet and mechanical extension, a rigid mix of vertical and horizontal linear geometry, and stacks of balconies on the upper levels of the reinforced concrete edifice. We can also see the metal bracing attached to the outer walls that is designed to hold up the remaining stone panels. Occupancy at the Leyton was last reported to begin this summer.

    Plans for a mixed-use 1,100-foot-tall tower at 41- Plans for a mixed-use 1,100-foot-tall tower at 41-47 West 57th Street have been spotted according to the New York DOB, where the applicant, BOB 57, LLC., proposes a 63-story supertall in Midtown, Manhattan with just under 443,100 square feet of newly built space. About 237,100 square feet will be devoted toward residential usage with 119 units, while nearly 205,100 square feet of commercial space will make room for a 158-room hotel and a 10,212-square-foot restaurant. The plans also call for a floor area bonus of 52,075 square feet in connection with nearby subway improvements to the F train at the 57th Street station. The address may be familiar to some people, as it was the site of a whimsical 2015 proposal by Mark Foster Gage Architects for a 102-story supertall clad in limestone-tinted cast stone panels, glass, hydro-formed bronze alloy details, brass-tinted alloy structural extrusion enclosures, and a plethora of dramatic, ornate sculptural forms such as a motif of wings, multiple corner terraces, and tall atrium spaces. These design elements led to the project being nicknamed “The Khaleesi,” after the character in the HBO TV series Game of Thrones. The rendering above is what it would've looked like had plans manage to go through. For now, an architect and official renderings for 41-47 West 57th Street have yet to be publicly disclosed.
    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.
