With work on the Zaha Hadid-designed condo at 520 West 28th Street now finished, the Related Companies is starting construction on an even bigger residential development overlooking the High Line. As we previously covered, the Stephen Ross-owned real estate firm purchased the prime, two-parcel lot at 501 and 525 West 18th Street for $205 million in 2014. The site is bisected by the High Line and is directly across 18th Street from “The Eleventh,” HFZ Capital’s torquing mixed-use project designed by the Bjarke Ingels Group.
With the demolition of a two-story warehouse now finished, the first construction vehicles have moved on-site ready to prepare the foundations. Building permits list SLCE as the architects of records, but it is likely that a more celebrated firm will be helming the design. The approved zoning diagram shows the taller Tenth Avenue-facing wing will rise 21-floors, 250 feet tall and hold 185 units. The shorter midblock wing will rise 10 stories and hold 63 apartments. Amenities are to include a 115-car garage.

Recently posted along the construction fence is a drawing showing the massing of the buildings. Like 520 West 28th, the building will have curving corners and fluid lines. Could New York be getting another building by the firm of the late Pritzker Prize-winning dame? We’ll likely find out very soon.
