In the bustling city of New York, at number 17 on our year-end countdown of the tallest buildings under construction, stands The Maybury. This 520-foot-tall residential skyscraper is gracefully wrapping up its work at 550 Tenth Avenue in Hell’s Kitchen. Designed by Handel Architects and developed by the joint venture of Gotham Organization and Goldman Sachs Asset Management, this 47-story structure spans an impressive 430,000 square feet and yields 453 rental units. Among them, 137 are reserved for affordable housing, along with 9,000 square feet of lower-level retail space, over 20,000 square feet of amenities, and 26,764 square feet of administrative office space for Covenant House. The property is owned by GO Covenant LLC and is located along Tenth Avenue between West 40th and 41st Streets.

Exterior Progress and Finishing Touches

Since our last update in early June, all the bronze-hued paneling and floor-to-ceiling windows have been meticulously installed across the exterior. At that time, the hoist was still attached to the western elevation along Tenth Avenue, and the sidewalk shed, construction barriers, and metal fencing were in place. Recent photographs reveal that crews are now in the process of dismantling the last of the sidewalk shed. They are also engaged in doing some final touch-ups around the front entrance and ground-floor frontage. Along West 40th Street, crates of scraps are being hauled away. The floor-to-ceiling windows have been expertly washed, and the glass railings are now in place along the setbacks and outdoor terraces above the podium and near the top of the building. Workers are working at a rapid pace to finish the last of the interiors.
