Construction Update: 40 10th Avenue
Southwest corner.
Facade installation is wrapping up at Aurora Capital and William Gottlieb Real Estate's 40 Tenth Avenue, the 10-story, 140,000 square foot spec office building adjacent to the High Line at West 13th Street. Design of the tower is led by Jeanne Gang of Studio Gang and uses the firm's strategy of "solar carving" which, according to their website, "uses incident angles of the sun’s rays to sculpt a building’s form." The northwest and southeast corner of the rectangular tower massing is carved away by this principle to produce a faceted façade and allow more sunlight to reach the adjacent green space of the High Line and the street.
