The NOMA, 50 West 30th Street: Review and Ratings

Review of 50 West 30th Street by Carter Horsley

This attractive, 24-story residential condominium building at 50 West 30^th Street on the southeast corner at 6^th Avenue is scheduled for completion by Alchemy Properties in 2017.

It has 55 condominium apartments.

It is known as The NOMA and is also known as 846 Sixth Avenue.

FXFowle is the architect.

Bottom Line

An industrial aesthetic in the heart of NoMad, one of the city’s newest and hottest residential areas close to Madison Square Park and the Flatiron District, and its impressive brochure is confident enough to boast about its “vintage punching bag.” Pow!

Description

The building has an entrance marquee and a banded gray brick façade with multi-paned windows in what the architects describe as a “neo-Bauhaus” style.

The tower is setback at the 5^th floor and is slightly angled with balconies on its east façade.

The lobby has a 15-foot-high ceiling of reclaimed wood, leather-upholstered walls and a gun-metal chandelier.  

Amenities

The building has a full-time doorman, a gym with a vintage punching bag, a roof deck, bicycle storage, a library, and a landscaped terrace with grill.  The building allows pets.
