Demolition has started for a new 17-story condominium apartment building on the northwest corner of Park Avenue South and 19th Street.
The project will contain 52 apartments and is being developed by Yitzchak Tessler of Linjan Associates, who was a co-developer with Max Capital of the recent conversion of two buildings formerly owned by the United Federation of Teachers at 260 Park Avenue South. Tessler is also involved in the current conversion of the former Helmsley Windsor Hotel on the southeast corner of 58th Street and the Avenue of the Americas.
The new building will replace four low-rise structures and it has been designed by Gwathmey-Siegel, the architects of the very impressive, curved tower now nearing completion at 445 Lafayette Street across from Cooper Union.
Gwathmey-Siegel are also the architects for the project at 100 West 58th Street where some double-height windows have been installed and a new large vaulted penthouse.
The 13-story base of the new building will have curved corner bay windows and a handsome rectilinear fa?ade grid of inset multi-pane windows.
