Seems to be somewhere in West Chelsea.

Actually, that's the now defunct 415 Eighth project.

Your right. It doesn't look so bad now we can see the entire building. It's still too small for a site that's across from Penn Station.

Fifth Avenue Residences
New York, New York

Prismatically defined against the backdrop of city and sky, this proposed fifteen-story residential tower located on a prominent Fifth Avenue site was commissioned in 2006 by a New York developer. Its slender, crystalline form rises like an exposed vertical seam of rock crystal from within the block of masonry buildings. Above the three-story retail podium, ten full-floor, 4,000-square-foot residences embody a contemporary urban identity. These three- and four-bedroom spaces are composed to take full advantage of the three natural exposures, while a cantilevered volume of five penthouse levels hovers above. The penthouse interiors are defined by open plans, interconnected living areas, and light-filled, glass-enclosed bathing suites. The blending of filtered natural and warm artificial light around the perimeter softens the perceived boundary between inside and outside. Living space becomes optical and sensory space. On the building's two roof levels, open-air gardens provide residents with a gravity pool, outdoor dining spaces, morning sun deck, and panoramic evening terrace.

A 'Nifty looking' new building (on paper at least) that will be one to follow. If/when it breaks ground this will be a thread-worthy project. Thanks for the great posts Derek2k3.

This would suck schlong! This appears be the site that housed Fortunoff. That's a beautiful building that just needs to repair the schlocky damage that Fortunoff imposed on the facade. Where all of the the phoney a_holes who want to fight NY "development"?

Propose something really tall and they will instantly come out of the woodwork.

Otherwise, forget it. They won't care about what gets razed.

That's the sad truth. There are so many sites on 5th below 48th Street that contain feces. They should be redeveloped. Not this gem.

[Derek2k3]

Nothing is happening here.
I doubt this project even got past the concept stage.

[londonlawyer]

That's good news.
