This June, the foundation work was laid for TF Cornerstone’s west side mega-development at 606 West 57th Street and now, the building is officially beginning to rise. The unnamed project is being designed by Arquitectonica and will be among the largest apartment buildings in the city, standing 450 feet tall and 1.2 million square feet.
Looks like window wall and not curtain wall. Blech!

TF Cornerstone (TFC) recently topped off construction on their immense new rental development at 606 West 57th Street. Rising 450-feet-high from a lengthy site near the Hudson River waterfront, the building clumsily staggers skyward in large rectangular volumes. In its raw unclad glory, its form serves as a counterpoint to the pure geometry shown in Bjarke Ingels’ tetrahedron next door. In a press release the team says that it was crucial for the 42-story building to flow with the skyline, and connect to its context.
