Excavation work is proceeding at 611 Avenue of the Americas on the southwest corner at 18th Street where Gerald Brauser is building 10-story residential condominium apartment building with 41 units.
The building will have a 100 West 18th Street address and irridescent black brick facades.
Garrett Gourlay is the architect. He is also designing a 52-story condominium apartment building for Mr. Brauser at 111 Washington Street and recentrly designed Vesta 24, a 14-story, 22-unit residential condominium at 231 Tenth Avenue between 23rd and 24th Streets.
The building is being constructed "as-of-right," that is, within existing building and zoning regulations.
The building will have a two-story retail base and five setbacks above the base.
The 18th Street facade will have three angled setbacks and the third through the 9th floors will have large windows at the chamfered corner at the avenue and angled corner windows on the third through the seventh floors along the avenue.
The setback portions of the facades will also have asymmetrical fenestration patterns.
The site was formerly occupied by a three-story garage.
