Construction has started on 1600 Broadway, a 25-story, 136-unit condominium apartment that fronts on Broadway, 48th Street and Seventh Avenue, one block north of Times Square.
The developer is Sherwood Equities, which built the black-glass Renaissance Hotel that occupies the small block just to the south, at the north end of Times Square.
The new, 290-foot-high building will have a two-story retail base with a setback tower whose top five floors are angled outwards. The building will have a 9-story advertising sign in the middle of its southern facade.
Jorge Szendiuch of Einhorn Yafee Prescot is the design architect and Peter Claman of Schuman Lichtenstein Claman Efron is planning the interiors.
The building will have a club floor for residents with outdoor terraces and a health club. It will have apartments ranging from studios to three-bedrooms.
It replaced the handsome, 10-story, former Studebaker Brothers building that was erected in 1902.
