Façade installation is continuing on 606 West 30th Street, a 42-story residential skyscraper along the border of Hudson Yards and West Chelsea, Manhattan. Designed by Ismael Leyva Architects and developed by Lalezarian Properties, the 545-foot-tall structure will yield 312,350 square feet with 192,780 square feet of residential space and 14,240 square feet of commercial space on the lower levels. The project is referred to as Tower B in a two-skyscraper development along with the taller, completed 3ELEVEN at 601 West 29th Street from FXCollaborative and Douglaston Development. Hudson 37 LLC is the general contractor for the property, which is located on an interior lot between Eleventh Avenue and West Street, directly across from the third phase of the High Line.

The reflective glass curtain wall has enclosed the reinforced concrete superstructure to the upper setback since our last update in early April, and only a couple floors remain to be finished. The construction hoist remains attached to the narrow western wing of the building as interior work continues.

The curtain wall has also finished enclosing the midsection of 606 West 30th Street around the rectangular cutout where the amenities spaces will be located. This includes a pocketed outdoor area that will provide views of Hudson Yards, Hell’s Kitchen, and up the Hudson River and West Street.

Additional work has also been completed on the multi-story podium, which is clad in dark metal paneling and wide rectangular windows. The sidewalk canopy has been mounted above the ground floor and can be seen behind the sidewalk shed, and glass panes now surround the top of the podium for the outdoor terrace.
