Construction Update: 260 W 78

South facade from West End Avenue.

Superstructure is close to topping out at Alchemy Properties’ 18-story residential condo tower at 260 West 78th Street on the Upper West Side. Designed by COOKFOX Architects, the tower replaces a former Collegiate School building from the 1960’s. The adjacent 12-story building at 378 West End Avenue by Schwartz & Gross is undergoing a restoration and will be combined with the tower to create 66 condominium residences.
