Planning and development
editThe building was first proposed in 2012, with designs released to the public then.[4] Plans were later approved in 2014.[5] Construction began in 2017 Advanced by Cauldwell Wingate Company[6][7] and the project received $120 million in construction financing from Bank OZK in September 2017.[8] The building topped out in early 2018[9] and was completed in late 2018, with the first tenants expected to move in to the building in March 2019.[1]
Hyundai's luxury car brand Genesis signed a lease for all 40,000 square feet (3,700 m2) of retail space in the building in December 2017.[10] In March 2019, Starwood Capital Group signed a lease for the building's eighth floor.[11]
Design and reception
edit40 Tenth Avenue is Studio Gang's first commission in New York. The building features a chiseled, diamond-shaped curtain wall that was engineered to eliminate shadows cast onto the adjacent High Line park.[1] Additionally, the facade allegedly minimized heat gain, reduced glare for drivers on the West Side Highway, and discouraged migratory birds strikes.[12] The 12-story building includes 20,000 square feet (1,900 m2) of outdoor space and 16 feet (4.9 m) high ceilings.[13]
Justin Davidson, writing for New York, referred to the structure as "...one of the most exciting chapters in the future of the High Line."[14] Similarly, Architectural Digest named the building one of their "14 Most Anticipated Buildings of 2019".[15]
