NEW YORK | 546 West 44th Street | FT | 13 FLOORS
Project: 546 West 44th Street
Quote:
DHA Capital is developing while CetraRuddy is the architect.
The new plans paint a much prettier picture than the old renderings, though the form of the building appears unchanged. The buildings will be faced in brick, and will also enhance the block’s street-wall, pressing up against the sidewalk. Metal-clad nodules begin at the ninth floor, extending above the tenth floor setback, adding a touch of creativity to an otherwise simple massing envelope that tops-out 14 floors above street level.
546 West 44th Street will have 280 rental apartments spanning 263,300 square feet of space, and 20% of the units will be affordable. Despite that, DHA Capital appears to have forgone environmentally-unfriendly and aesthetically-unpleasing PTAC units, which pockmark the facades of most new rental developments in New York City.
In the meantime, permits for 546 West 44th Street were issued last October, meaning construction should soon be underway.
