255 West 34th Street’s Superstructure Rises in Midtown, Manhattan

Construction is growing on 255 West 34th Avenue, a 33-tale lodge tower in Midtown. Designed by Stonehill & Taylor Architects and designed by The Chetrit Group, the 155,594-sq.-foot growth will yield 330 resort rooms instantly across from One Penn Plaza, on the southern edge of the Garment District between Seventh and Eighth Avenues. Flintlock Building Providers, LLC is the basic contractor for the venture.

Excavation was underway at the time of our last update in Oct 2019, but the site sat quiet by means of 2020. Progress has picked up over the past couple of months, and the reinforced concrete superstructure now stands nine stories high.

The leading section is laden with steel rebar and formwork as new ranges are poured. The initial 3 tales have extremely significant ceilings and must probably maintain the lodge features and mechanical units. The lodge floors seem to get started on the fourth story, the place the ceiling peak is decreased.

The most important rendering depicts a cantilever and blank wall on the western elevation of the edifice. It will acquire a little bit far more time prior to development personnel achieve this protruding part of the tower. The stage that includes the cantilever is clad with tall darkish metal grilles, most likely indicating a mechanical ground. The relaxation of the stories above will be lined in a grid of flooring-to-ceiling glass and warm-colored panels that experience south toward Just one Penn Plaza, Madison Square Backyard garden, and the James A. Farley Developing that retains the new Moynihan Train Hall.

An original completion date for 255 West 34th Street was slated for this summer. YIMBY predicts the hotel to be done sometime in close proximity to the finish of 2022.
