301 E 50
There has been much progress on the façade of COOKFOX Architects' 301 E 50 since the previous update. Limestone panels have now been installed on two-thirds of the 29-story tower, with windows installed on the bottom third. Yet to be installed are the brise soleil sunshade elements on the windows, which will help to reduce solar heat gain.
When completed, the tower will bring 57 units to its Midtown East neighborhood.
