As a potential NYC homebuyer, I'm very interested in this building. Does anyone know if there is a sales office for it, or when the developer might make one?

Also for those of you more in the know, when would you estimate this building will be completed by? Early 2010?

Lecom · #42 Posted **Sep 23, 2008, 8:17 PM**

Yea, early 2010 sounds just about right.

I envy you because you have the money to invest like that. Unless our economy straight up collapses, you're sure to make six figure profits if you choose to resell the place later. Not many regular New Yorkers know that this tower is rising in a development-ripe area where many projects are in the pipeline and plenty sites are developable, which will surely raise the real estate values once more projects are finished.

Jeez that just sounded like a developer pitch.

Work on the cladding begins at the base.

^Looks like they are using left-over material from the 101 Warren Street construction just completed this year downtown. Same type of pattern. Could still turn-out nice, but they lose points for lack of originality.

It's the Planet of the Apes highrise.

They've already put up some glass, which looks fairly decent so far.

839 is obviously the furthest along

855 6th Ave

I read somewhere that this site is in foreclosure so this might not be a stalled project, this might just be a dead project. Gone by way of the Remy which is dead and buried two blocks south

this is the way the site has been for about a year

add on
dead Remy

885 6th ave

foundations still being dug. Its being said on other sites that once the foundations are finished work is going to stop on this site. I dont know the validity of that

It would figure the one I least liked in the trio is the one that is shooting into the sky while the other two are pits in the ground (likely one won't even be built). Oh well, at least we have another addition to the NYC 600' club.

I like this building alot!

Scruffy · #54 Posted **Mar 3, 2009, 1:59 AM**

Honestly this was my least favorite of the 3 too. It has some weird identity crisis going on where the top half and the bottom half look like completely different buildings and have no relationship to one another

Construction Watch: Sixth Ave.'s Peek at its Towering Future

http://testofwill.blogspot.com/

Tuesday, April 14, 2009, by Joey

The rising 54-story hotel/condo at 835 Sixth Avenue that was to be but one in a trio of new towers in the area around West 30th Street—but for now is the only one showing visible signs of life—is putting on its face. As previously reported, the Perkins Eastman-designed tower will boast 292 guest rooms managed by Kimpton Hotels and 302 condos, an ambitious achievement for these troubled times. We had a tough time matching the building up with its renderings—kind of has a 25 Bond thing going on right now, no?—but the bank of south-facing windows a couple floors up (part of the multi-level restaurant/bar space from China Grill Management, perhaps) helped us identify the body.

Will the other Sixth Ave. skyscrapers join the party? Hopefully, because that construction pit next door doesn't look like the friendliest neighbor.

Kind of remind me of the facade treatment seen on the Toren in Brooklyn, or perhaps even parts of 101 Warren Street, but, with not nearly as successful results thusfar.

avngingandbright · #57 Posted **Apr 14, 2009, 10:30 PM**

That through-street plaza is sort of irritating and anti-urban; I thought we've learned from the 80s and 90s methods of building skyscrapers ringer with concrete. I guess the empty lot across the street makes it worse. I wonder how long that site can languish on an island where every piece of land is so incredibly valuable.

I just can't find anything I like about this building, other than its getting built. Still, I could have done without it.

antinimby · #59 Posted **Apr 15, 2009, 4:33 PM**

We have different tastes then because I kind of like it. I echo avngin's opinion of the plaza. Not too crazy about it.

However, I am glad we have this instead of the parking garage that was there before.

avngingandbright · #60 Posted **Apr 15, 2009, 4:46 PM**

The facade is definitely preferable to glass, in my opinion. Certainly better than the one floor black box that preceded it. It's funny, when you see new buildings going up that replaced crap, it gets hard to imagine how and why such crap existed on such prime real estate for so long!
