Seaport Residences Indefinitely Halts Construction In Financial District

YIMBY’s Turkey Week tour of stalled projects continues with Seaport Residences, a 60-story residential skyscraper formerly known as One Seaport at 161 Maiden Lane in the Financial District. Designed by Hill West Architects and developed by Fortis Property Group LLC with Ray Builders serving as the contractor, work has been on hold for the 670-foot-tall tower, which as planned would bring 200,000 square feet of residential space to the South Street Seaport District. Groves & Co is the interior designer for the 80 units, which are being managed by Douglas Elliman Development Marketing.

The floor-to-ceiling glass panels are partially installed across multiple sections of the edifice in varying stages of progress. The sliver of balconies that curve up the eastern façade have yet to receive their glass railings.

Seaport Residences has endured a number of legal and construction issues, most notably allegations that the structure is leaning three inches to the north. YIMBY also last reported that sections of the glass curtain wall have been removed since earlier in the year, though the reason is unclear.

Despite the project’s woes, we hope to see work wrap up on the waterfront property in the coming year. Though it doesn’t approach supertall status, the structure features an interesting design and its slender profile faces the East River accentuating its impression of height. As shown in the rendering, the entirety of the skyscraper will eventually be clad in glass, including the blank concrete wall of the northern elevation.

I feel that there should be a clause within city zoning laws that requires developers to sell their stakes in projects that sit untouched for more than a year.

It's less common in Manhattan, but one often finds derelict shells of buildings in Brooklyn that lost their financing and just molder on the street.

Have they covered the blank side up with glass I hope?

Might be a while at this rate.

Looks nothing like the plans. Typical value engineering. Disgraceful.

Seeing this while going over the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges is really cringe-worthy. But I suppose we need to embrace our very own Ryugyong, if only someone could finish the glazing I'd be happy leaving it to urban explorers to base jump off of.

‘Leaning’ Seaport Tower Developer, Lender Negotiating Over Condo’s Future'

The key players in the saga of the South Street Seaport's most infamous tower are heading to mediation, with the developer and lender agreeing to try to find a resolution to their legal disputes...Fortis sued its lenders in a separate lawsuit last year, alleging they weren't meeting their loan payment requirements. The bank claimed at the time that not a single condominium at the 99-unit property had closed — and it wanted the property sold...Construction had stopped last year, but in June, a court signed off on the hiring of a construction company to secure the site and make an assessment of its status.

Denial isn't just a river in Egypt folks... https://seaportresidencesnyc.com/

Somebody is still hosting and paying the bills on this fancy sales site for the place, it's actually quite funny to read through it knowing what we know now! The hubris to keep this up without a single mention of the debacle unfolding in plain view of the entire city is ballsy, and not in a good way.

I hope this thing never succeeds as condos for rich people, instead let's make it a combo homeless encampment, urban camping experience and live art installation. That emaciated DJ above this post should be IN the tower, not in front of it, spinning on an unglazed floor at a rave in the "spa experience"

I got one more DJ that should be IN the tower. I do agree with the spa experience, especially with both of them.
