This stretch of West 40th Street, between Eighth and Ninth Avenues, is currently one big construction zone. Several budget hotels already exist on the strip, but both 310 West 40th Street and 350 West 40th Street are now under construction, while additional projects at 306 and 308 West 40th Street are working their way through the DOB’s approval process.
Luckily the new look for 310 West 40th is an improvement over the drawings, and it should join its fellow budget-oriented siblings as relatively inoffensive filler.

Above, the massing thins and yields to a slender and simple brick tower.
Per on-site signage, completion is anticipated by late 2016.
