529 Broadway

Facade installation is wrapping up at Aurora Capital Associates' 529 Broadway. Situated at the corner of Spring Street and Broadway in SoHo, the BKSK designed building will rise six stories and contain 34,000 square-feet of commercial space. The building replaces a recently demolished two-story warehouse structure from 1936. Landmarks approved the plans in September of 2013 with unusually positive remarks, due in part to the terracotta and glass façade design. Openings on the southern façade along Spring Street gradually increase in size from left to right, allowing for more glazing at the Broadway corner. Terracotta panels clad the vertical columns and the horizontal bands which will transition from deep spandrels to thin blades at the Broadway corner.

Completion is slated for late 2016.

Architect: BKSK Architects; Developer: Aurora Capital Associates; Program: Commercial; Location: SoHo, New York, NY; Completion: 2016.
