Lloyd Goldman’s BLDG Management is developing a 41-story mixed-use rental tower in Midtown Manhattan. Located at 222 East 44th Street the building will rise 556 feet tall and hold 429 apartment units - 87 of them will be for residents earning 60% or less than the area median income. Goldman purchased the site in April 2014 for $32 million and is replacing a 10-story parking garage that once stood there.

The building’s amenities will include a swimming pool, basketball court, concierge, valet service, golf simulator, screening room, children’s playroom, fitness center, resident lounge, common sundeck with barbecue area, and a private penthouse roof deck. There will also be a multi-level parking garage for up to 230 cars.
In addition to being one of the tallest rental buildings on the east side, 222 East 44th is also the only pivoting building on the block. Instead of standing perpendicular to the city’s gridded streets the building is rotated and meets the sidewalk at a 45-degree angle, setting it apart from other buildings and allowing its residents more natural light. Handel Architects is designing and SLCE is the executive architect. Completion is expected in 2017.
