1,100-Foot Supertall Awaits Construction At 41-47 West 57th Street In Midtown, Manhattan
Quote:
The fourth-tallest building on our year-end countdown is 41-47 West 57th Street, a proposed 1,100-foot mixed-use supertall along Billionaires’ Row in Midtown. Designed by OMA and developed by Sedesco, the 63-story skyscraper will yield 119 condominium units spread across 237,000 square feet, a 158-room hotel spanning 205,100 square feet on floors two through 20, and a 10,212-square-foot restaurant. The tower is set to rise from an interior plot between Fifth and Sixth Avenues with frontage along both West 57th and West 58th Streets.
Recent photos show the site cleared of its three low-rise former occupants and awaiting the start of construction activity. 41-47 West 57th Street would become the fourth-tallest supertall skyscraper on 57th Street after the Central Park Tower, 111 West 57th Street, and 432 Park Avenue.
he main rendering shows the tower featuring a gradual taper on the northern elevation, complementing the look of SHoP’s nearby 111 West 57th Street. This profile is clad in a glass curtain wall, while the eastern face is depicted with an envelope composed of concrete surrounding recessed opaque windows that reduce in size to a sharp point at the tower’s parapet.
It was last reported that Sedesco will build two new elevators for the nearby 57th Street subway station along Sixth Avenue, servicing the local F train. These transit improvements will make the station fully ADA accessible and permit the developer to construct 1 additional acre of extra floor space. One elevator will be located at the southwestern corner of West 56th Street and Sixth Avenue, while the second elevator will connect the underground mezzanine to the platform. This allowance is part of a recently approved change in a zoning law, called Zoning For Accessibility, which provides developers the ability to construct up to 20 percent more square footage through public contributions and improvements to the city’s infrastructure. 41-47 West 57th Street would receive a total of 53,029 square feet of added floor space. This allowance was approved by the City Planning Commission on December 1, 2021.
It’s unclear when 41-47 West 57th Street is expected to start work, but previous reports indicate construction is planned to unfold in a single phase over a period of roughly 45 to 48 months. If things get underway sometime next year, it’s possible the tower could reach completion by 2027 or 2028.
