Smile NEW YORK | 305 East 51 St | 360 FT | 32 FLOORS

HFZ Capital is reviving a stalled project located at 303 E 51st Street on 2nd Ave.

An image of the tower's lower half can be seen on its website, http://www.hfzcap.com. The tower was designed by SLCE.

I remember this one. Its the tower that was stopped after the infamous crance accident. It has been lowered from its original height.

There are actually two towers going up here.

One is at the crane collapse site. They're going to use the shell of that structure to build one of the towers (the tower under discussion in this thread). They're currently negotiating with the city how to safety remove parts of the structure.

Then there were some damaged buildings when the crane collapsed. Those buildings were demolished, and there's another tower going up there. There's a thread on it at the Wired New York site.

East 51st Street's Halcyon Unleashes New Renderings, Units
Friday, August 30, 2013

With the crane collapse on the old construction site a fading memory, Turtle Bay's glassy tower o' condos at 305 East 51st Street, dubbed Halcyon, is progressing nicely. We got a peek at some of the (pretty sweet) amenities last month, and now it's on to the apartments themselves. A slew of new units, floorplans included, just listed (h/t BuzzBuzz), starting from a one-bed, one-bath unit on the 10th floor for $1.285 million and topping out at three-bed, 3.5-bath with a study for $4.71 million. That means that while four are already in contract, more than 20 apartments are on the market, with more to come, since the HFZ Capital-developed project has 123 units total. Interiors are designed by S. Russell Groves, and apartments have floor-to-ceiling windows, Poliform kitchens, marble countertops, and brushed bronze fixtures. Two penthouses will sit at the top the 32-story tower, whose community spaces include a library, playroom, golf room, 50-foot heated pool, gym (with sauna, juice bar, and private massage room), an "Aqua Spa," and an outdoor lounge with a landscaped terrace and fire pit.
Another left-for-dead tower springs to life.

Also, this needs to be moved to something other than "on hold".

There's also a 400-foot building that was just permitted at 52nd & 1st, as well as another building permitted at 50th & 2nd, so this one will have some upcoming company in the above pic.
