    Work is wrapping up on Maverick, a 20-story two-bu Work is wrapping up on Maverick, a 20-story two-building residential development at 215 West 28th Street in Chelsea. Designed by DXA Studio and developed by HAP Investments, the 250-foot-tall reinforced concrete structures yield a combined 162,834 square feet and 87 condominium units, as well as 20,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. Douglas Elliman Development Marketing and Fredrik Eklund’s and John Gomes’ Eklund | Gomes team are responsible for sales and marketing for the residences, with Alex Lundqvist as the sales director in charge. The property is located between Seventh and Eighth Avenues across from the Fashion Institute of Technology campus, in a stretch of the street that has seen a tremendous amount of vertical transformation with new offices and homes being built in the vicinity. Since our last update in July, photographs by @mchlanglo793 show the finishing touches have concluded at the ground level, including the installation of a shrubbery-topped canopy over the white eastern portion of the development. The sidewalk scaffolding still covers the black western end, but should be removed soon. Details in the geometric façade paneling system create interesting plays of light and shadow throughout the day.  ​ ​The 12,000 square feet of amenity spaces, which span three floors inside Maverick, include a 24-hour attended lobby, a residential library with a fireplace, and a children’s “imagination room.” A Swim & Wellness Collection features a 60-foot-long mosaic indoor swimming pool, a sauna, a meditation room with a Himalayan salt wall, treatment rooms, and a fitness center. On the rooftop is a Cabana Park with chaise lounges, a fire pit, and an al fresco kitchen. Other amenities include bicycle storage and indoor parking available for purchase. ​ ​The interiors for Maverick should not be too far behind, and we can expect construction to fully conclude in the coming months. See our article for the high-end list of interior finishes.
    Dezer Development and Bentley Motors launch a 12,0 Dezer Development and Bentley Motors launch a 12,000-square-foot sales gallery for the upcoming Bentley Residences, a 749-foot-tall ultra-luxury condominium tower designed by Sieger Suarez Architects set to be constructed at 18401 Collins Avenue in Sunny Isles Beach. The first phase of the $10 million sales gallery is set to debut later this month as the developer wraps up construction, located just a short walk away from the site future tower at 18325 Collins Avenue and prepped to include a full-scale 6,000-square-foot model of a unit at Bentley residences, a theatre and a brokers’ lounge. Bentley Residences will stand 62 stories over the Sunny Isles Beach ocean front and will yield 216 luxury residences, soon to take the crown for the tallest residential building on a beachfront in the United States. ​There will be a life-sized Bentley vehicle treading through water installed at the front of the sales gallery, which will eventually be moved to the front of the tower after completion. All residences will have private garages connected to the Dezervator; eastern units facing the ocean will have four-car garages, while western units facing the Intracoastal Waterway will have space for up to three cars. Amenities at Bentley Residences will include a gym, pool, spa, theater, bar, restaurant and lounge, cabanas and landscaped gardens. The developer plans to handle sales in-house, with prices ranging from $3.9 million to $6 million for west-facing units, and $5.5 million to $7.5 million for east facing units. Penthouses will fall in the $20 million range, which would be launched at a later time frame. The projected sellout for the development is $1.2 billion. Property records show Dezer Hotel Management Ltd., owned and managed by Dezer Development, purchased the 3.6-acre property at 18401 Collins Avenue in 1996 for $6.8 million, which is currently improved with a the five-story, 180-key Days Hotel by Wyndham Thunderbird Beach Resort completed in 1956. Dezer could commence demolition of the building some time in May, and break ground to begin foundation work in Q4 of this year. Vertical construction of Bentley Residences likely won’t occur until mid 2023.
    Façade installation is getting close to completio Façade installation is getting close to completion on The Cortland, a 25-story residential building at 555 West 22nd Street in West Chelsea. Designed by Robert A. M. Stern Architects with SLCE Architects as the architect of record and developed by Related Companies, the structure will yield 144 residential units spread over 250,000 square feet, for an average of 2,245 square feet. Related Sales LLC and CORE are the co-sales and marketing agents for the property, which is located along West Street across from Hudson River Park between West 22nd and West 23rd Streets. Sales will launch early this year and homes range from studios to five-bedroom layouts, along with a collection of exclusive penthouses. Since our last update in August, photographs by @mchlanglo793 show the majority of the remaining brickwork has been completed, and the black grilles have been installed on the mechanical extension at the top of the main building. The construction elevator has also been disassembled. Sidewalk scaffolding remains standing, while ground-floor work around the perimeter and private motor courtyard is approaching the final stages of construction. ​Our last update showed renderings highlighting the craftsmanship of the limestone, brick, and metal detailing across the façade, which will utilize 1 million handmade bricks. Other depicted scenes include the landscaped motor courtyard, the main lobby, an upper private terrace, and a glimpse of the finishes for the condominiums being designed by Olson Kundig. The Cortland is slated to become the first multi-family residential project in New York for the Seattle-based company, which is known for its minimalist style. ​Each home is built with high ceilings, open-plan living and dining areas, and numerous multi-functional spaces. Residential amenities include on-site parking, leisure and wellness services, a children’s playroom, and exclusive benefits through Related Life. The Cortland is expected to be completed sometime this year.
    At Fulton Market District‘s 345 N Morgan Street, At Fulton Market District‘s 345 N Morgan Street, on the site of a former low-rise masonry building, a much taller replacement high-rise has maxed out at 11 floors and 178 feet tall. This boutique commercial development by Sterling Bay brings an industrial yet refined aesthetic to the rapidly developing neighborhood. The design by Eckenhoff Saunders Architects consists of lighter-tone brick, grand archways and windows, welded metal accents, as well as soaring ceilings to account for the relatively high height-to-floor count ratio. ​ ​Inside the 200,000-square-foot structure, programming will consist of ground-level retail topped by offices. This above office section will provide tenants with 24,000-square-foot floor plates, large open interiors with exposed concrete finishes, flexible build-outs, along with a host of thoughtfully-designed amenities. This office amenity package is rather unique, comprised of a bar/lounge conservatory with a dual-sided fireplace, as well as a grand library with ornate interior finishes. There will also be a 5,000-square-foot rooftop terrace, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and various co-working spaces. Within the second level will be a garage with 34 parking spaces. ​ ​Skender and JLL Construction have overseen the rapid assemblage of this latest Fulton Market addition. A full completion is anticipated for September 2022. See our Chicago YIMBY article for more construction photographs by @jckcrwfrd
    Construction has topped out on 241 West 28th Stree Construction has topped out on 241 West 28th Street, a 22-story two-tower residential project in Chelsea. Designed by COOKFOX for MAG Partners, Atalaya, Safanad, and Qualitas, the 235-foot-tall, 400,000-square-foot development will yield 480 residential units with 30 percent reserved for low- and middle-income households. King Contracting Group is in charge of brickwork and Urban Atelier Group is the general contractor for the complex, which is located between Seventh and Eighth Avenues. MAG Partners acquired the Midtown, Manhattan property in December 2018 when it was still an open-surface parking lot and established a 99-year ground lease with Edison Properties. Photographs by @mchlanglo793 show work has progressed rapidly since our last update in October, when the superstructure was less than halfway to topping out. Now the reinforced concrete has reached its pinnacle and work has shifted to window installation and the assembly of the walls. The opposite northern side of 241 West 28th Street is at a comparable state of progress. Other photos show the start of the brick envelope can be spotted on one of the windows above the sidewalk scaffolding, providing a preview of the quality of the hand-laid craftsmanship. ​241 West 28th Street is aiming for LEED Silver certification, and is expected to include about 8,500 square feet of ground-floor retail space. Residential amenities include lounges, a fitness center, a children’s playroom, and an outdoor lounge with a swimming pool and adjoining terrace. Thirty percent of the units, or approximately 144 residences, will be designated as permanently affordable housing. 241 West 28th Street is slated for completion in July 2023.
    Miami-based real estate developer Mount Vernon Pro Miami-based real estate developer Mount Vernon Property Holdings LLC, led by Tomas Sinisterra, is requesting a major site plan approval from the Development Review Committee for the construction of Ocean Park Beach Residences, a 19-story two-towered mixed-use development which would rise at 1508 North Ocean Boulevard in Pompano Beach. Located on the southwest corner of the intersection between Northeast 16th Street and North Ocean Boulevard (State Road A1A), the vacant interior lot spans 0.62 acres and sits directly west of North Ocean Park and the beachfront. The project is designed by Miami Beach-based G3aec with Pompano Beach-based KEITH as the civil engineer and would rise approximately 205-feet, or 218-feet including the elevator bulkhead. Plans for the project include the development of 28 luxury residential condominiums, approximately 3,044 square feet of ground floor commercial space and 73 parking spaces. ​The design for the project is comprised of two curving structures with architectural significance, completely wrapped in continuous balconies clad in laminated impact glass. Each concrete slab appears to vary in size and shape, creating a series of offset floors that defines the profile and character of the towers. Both volumes rise out of a four-story podium which would feature an aluminum screen, painted concrete and tall tinted glass panels along the ground floor. Residences begin on the 5th floor and will contain one 3-bedroom unit per floor; the highest residence in each tower will be occupy the top two floors. Demolition permits will not be required since the property is vacant. The developer will need an Air Park Obstruction permit to build the project due to the proximity to the Pompano Beach Airpark. The site plan for Ocean Park Beach Residences is scheduled for review on January 19, 2022.
    Work is continuing to take shape on the expansion Work is continuing to take shape on the expansion of the Tiffany & Co. flagship store at 727 Fifth Avenue in Midtown, Manhattan. Designed by OMA partners Shohei Shigematsu and Jake Forster, the scope involves a three-story steel-framed structural addition that rises above the original flat roof line of the world famous jewelry brand’s 72-year-old Art Moderne building. CallisonRTKL is the architect of record, Peter Marino Architects is handling the interior renovations, and Structure Tone is the general contractor for the project, which now stands 11 stories tall at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 57th Street. Photographs by @mchlanglo793 show nearly all the panels are in place with the exception of a sliver on the northeast corner where the construction elevator is attached. The design calls for 49 glass panes with aluminum profiles, three sliding doors, and two single-leaf glass floors on the eighth floor, and 69 slumped-glass panels with post-transom elements with aluminum profiles on the tenth and 11th floors of the building. This 21st-century addition is also expected to feature a wraparound outdoor terrace that will serve as an exhibition, event, and clienteling space. A perimeter of shrubbery will outline the setback. Below are street-level and aerial renderings that depict the overall design and new outdoor spaces. ​Completion of the interiors and vertical addition was last reported to be on track for sometime this spring.
    Developer Sterling Bay has announced a partnership Developer Sterling Bay has announced a partnership for its 160 N Morgan Street mixed-use development in the West Loop. The joint venture will be with Colorado-based real estate private equity firm Ascentris and will see the ground-breaking of the high-rise in the first quarter of 2022. Designed by local firm bKL Architecture on a mid-block lot that once held a drive-thru bank, the demolition of the existing building has begun with site prep expected to commence soon after. The joint venture will allow Sterling Bay to bring its expertise in developing luxury commercial projects in the West Loop, with Ascentris who invests in a variety of typologies including multi-family properties such as Optima Lakeview and 120 N LaSalle in Chicago. The 29-story, 350-foot-tall tower will deliver 282 residential units split into 254 market rate apartments and 28 affordable apartments consisting of convertibles, studios, one-, two-, and three-bedroom floor plans. The ground floor will provide 2,600 square feet of retail space and an entrance to an 89-vehicle parking space garage from the existing alley, as well as 153 bicycle spaces. Residents will also have access to outdoor amenity decks, fitness center, and a rooftop pool all while being only a few feet away from the CTA Morgan station. ​The multi-million dollar project will also be paying roughly $5.2 million to build out additional affordable units to meet the city requirement in the South Loop, as well as $1.9 million to the Neighborhood Opportunity Fund. Further information on the tower can be found in our previous posts about its progression here. Sterling Bay, which currently has a development pipeline of over $12.4 billion, is aiming to break ground soon, generating 275 construction jobs, and planning for a completion date in the fourth quarter of 2023.
    Construction has reached street level on 1841 Broa Construction has reached street level on 1841 Broadway, a 25-story, 281-foot-tall residential building on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Designed by INC Architecture & Design and developed by Global Holdings Management Group, the 180,813-square-foot edifice will yield 173 market-rate and affordable housing units as well as 11,741 square feet of retail space on the first two levels. Pavarini McGovern, LLC is the general contractor and DeSimone Consulting Engineers is the façade consultant for the project, which is located at the corner of Broadway and West 60th Street, just north of Columbus Circle and the southwestern corner of Central Park. Excavation was still progressing at the time of our last update in early September. Since then, the foundations have been completed and preparations are underway for the imminent rise of the concrete core. Recent photos show workers around the core of the structure with steel rebar protruding at the locations of the inner walls. ​The new exterior rendering illustrates rounded corners on the north- and southeast corners of the structure, with the former appearing to contain outdoor balconies. The overall façade is composed of a mix of glass interspersed with vertical pleated panels and black brick bands that wrap around each level. The largest windows are housed on the rounded southern corner of the superstructure. Retail space is shown with high ceilings and clearer glass on the first two levels of the podium. Amenities and mechanical space will sit within the sub-cellar and cellar levels of the property. ​Given its modest height and relatively simple massing, 1841 Broadway should rise swiftly and perhaps even top out before the end of 2022. The project is slated to be finished in the fall of 2023, as noted on the construction board.
