You might as well ask, "What year?" Either way, it all depends on when - and if - the developers get the remainder of the funds they need to finish the structure.

I'm starting to think the complete-glass facade should have been used for the entire building, not certain walls. Still looks great though.

Hell's Kitchen's Clinton Park is Now Hell's Kitchen's Mercedes House
http://ny.curbed.com/archives/2011/0...edes_house.php

Quote:
'Tis the season of the exorbitantly priced rental tower, so hey, what's one more? In a naming rights deal that must have slipped under our radar, Clinton Park—the massive zig-zagging Eleventh Avenue rental complex designed by Enrique Norten for developer Two Trees—is now known as Mercedes House. Oh, and the leasing office opened today and move-ins start next month. The website doesn't have much info, and neither does the leasing office. We gave the Two Trees folks a buzz this morning, but they couldn't give us any information on prices just yet, so our MiMA vs. Mercedes showdown is postponed. But we ask: Is the neighborhood big enough for the both of them?

The Hell's Kitchen megabuilding has a space-age Mercedes-Benz dealership in its base, so people would have probably dubbed Clinton Park "the Mercedes building" anyway. Then again, it also has stables for the NYPD's Mounted Unit, so maybe locals would have just called it Smellyville? The website may not offer much right now, but it does sport the pretty cool Mercedes House logo and this very insightful tag line: "Designed For Life." Damn right! Read it and weep, Reaper! (If you have tear ducts.) At last check, Phase I of the project included 222 rental apartments, with 700 more to come once the credit market starts purring like a German-engineered motor.

Who in Manhattan has some more recent shots of this Clinton Park Mercedes-Benz of Manhattan development? Maybe some interior shots there, some from the outside as well. Thanks for the information there.

I like the mixture of the two materials but I think they should have just used one shade of grey panels or aligned the darker ones under the windows.

Is the old Mercedes dealership on 11th Ave and 40th St. completely empty now? That site must have A LOT of air rights.

That lot is zoned C6-4, which gives it a base FAR of 10. That gives approximately 920,000 square feet of air rights. However, it might be tricky to build on given that it looks like there are some underground tracks there that branch off of the neighboring Amtrack cut.
