BIG’s Twisting Towers At 76 Eleventh Avenue Begin Making An Impact On The Chelsea Skyline
Quote:
Chelsea has long been a center of creativity in Manhattan. Recent developments have been strongly inspired by that history. Many of the city’s most notable projects with distinctive architecture style have popped along the new High Line Park, including the Frank Gehry-design IAC Building, and Zaha Hadid’s 520 West 28th Street. The neighborhood’s latest impending icon is 76 Eleventh Avenue, a pair of twisting mixed-use towers under development by HFZ Capital. Construction is moving quickly for all components, and thanks to photos by Tectonic, we can see the latest progress.
Construction on the western tower has now reached the tenth floor, out of a planned 35. Once finished, it will reach 402 feet above the ground. The structure is beginning to have a noticeable prominence, and will evidently be especially dominant when viewed from heavily trafficked 11th Avenue and adjacent Chelsea Piers.
The 25-story eastern tower will be of a nearly identical design, but won’t rise quite as high, measuring one hundred feet shorter. Foundation work for that part of the project is well underway, and it appears imminently ready to begin rising above the ground.
