When we last checked in on Algin Management’s 62-story rental project, the 700-foot-tall high-rise was just emerging above street level. Now the curvaceous high-rise has rocketed some 35-stories into the Midtown West skyline, well past its halfway point. Now several of its lower floors are being enveloped by a sexy facade of curved glass and aluminum panels.
“Office buildings are our factories – whether for tech, creative or traditional industries we must continue to grow our modern factories to create new jobs,” said United States Senator Chuck Schumer.
I was hoping the facade cladding would be a more seamless, but the deep window recesses, curved glass and overall look is pretty sick. I'd give it an A-/B+

Concrete superstructure is close to topping out at Algin Management's 62-story, 426-unit mixed-use tower in Midtown's Theater District. Designed by CetraRuddy, the 674-foot tower features an organic massing tied to the distribution and size of units. Rental units will start on the fourth floor, with the lower floors split among 16,514 square feet of retail space and amenities for the residents.
Cladding of the tower, which features a glass window wall with metal panel slab covers and thickened screen, has surpassed the one third mark.
