8:00 am on November 24, 2023 By Michael Young and Matt Pruznick

Rounding out our Turkey Week rundown of stalled and on-hold projects in New York City is 118-124 Tenth Avenue, a planned ten-story commercial building in Chelsea, Manhattan. Initially developed by Real Estate Equities Corporation (REEC), which acquired the adjacent properties at 118 and 124 Tenth Avenue for $21 million in 2017, the project was expected to yield 100,000 square feet of office and ground-floor retail space. REEC completed demolition of the former low-rise occupants of the parcel, but progress stalled shortly thereafter. Signs posted on site indicate that GDSNY has taken over as developer and the building’s scope has been expanded to 155,000 square feet. The signs also list Triton Construction as the general contractor for the project, which is located along Tenth Avenue between West 17th and West 18th Streets, across from the High Line.

At number five on our Turkey Week rundown of stalled and on-hold projects is 3 West 29th Street, a planned 34-story skyscraper in NoMad.
