North facade from East 23rd Street.
Construction is underway at 121 East 22nd Street, the two-tower residential development in the Flatiron District from Toll Brothers City Living and Gemdale Properties and Investment. OMA's New York office, led by partner Shohei Shigematsu, is responsible for the design of the 18-story residential tower, the firm's first in the city.

The larger tower will rise 18-stories at the corner of East 23rd Street and Lexington Avenue. Addressing the neighborhood's pre-war architectural context, the facade features a punched window design that transitions to a faceted northeast corner with glazing that frames views from multiple angles. The smaller tower is located mid-block on East 22nd Street and features a faceted facade similar to the larger tower's northeast corner.
Construction on the project is slated for some time in 2018.

45 East 22nd Street - Madison Square Park Tower
Superstructure has topped out at Bruce Eichner's tower in the Flatiron District.
Construction has topped out at the Flatiron District's high profile tower at 45 East 22nd Street. Developed by Bruce Eichner of The Continuum Company, the 65-story, 777-foot tower is designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox with construction overseen by Plaza Construction. Recently I was given a sneak peek of the panoramic views from the top.
Nestled mid block amongst the low-rise masonry and stone buildings typical of the Flatiron District, the tower's five-story base will be clad in granite. A quarry was found in China that produces a granite identical to that of Cass Gilbert's United States Custom House in Lower Manhattan from 1907. The granite coursing and bronze detailing of the entry doors and canopy will tie into the neighborhood context and welcome the tower's residents and guests.
From the 75-foot wide granite base, the glass tower rises towards its 777-foot apex, tapering outward on the western facade to a final width of 125 feet.

While superstructure has topped out, curtain wall installation continues on the remaining floors at the top. Completion of the tower is slated for late 2016.

Installation of the terracotta facade has begun at Morris Adjmi Architects' mixed use development in the Flatiron District.
Window installation is complete at Friedland Properties' two building mixed-use development that spans a mid-block site between West 21st and 22nd Streets in the Ladies Mile Historic District of the Flatiron. Designed by Morris Adjmi Architects, the 14-story, 239-unit development will feature terracotta cladding on its gridded tower facades. The first few pieces of the terracotta elements of the facade have been installed on the West 22nd Street elevation. Limestone and metal dominate the ground floor facades of the 8,211 square feet retail space. The design has been shaped by the rigors of the Landmarks Preservation Commission approval process, which unanimously approved the design on its second presentation. Completion is slated for 2016.

45 East 22nd Street - Madison Square Park Tower
Take an exclusive tour of the Flatiron's future tallest tower from developer Bruce Eichner and KPF.
Not to be outdone by the bevy of skyscraper construction underway throughout Manhattan, the Flatiron District is getting its own high profile tower at 45 East 22nd Street. Developer Bruce Eichner of The Continuum Company has returned to New York with his 65-story, 777-foot tower rising near Madison Square Park and the recent One Madison. The tower, designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox, will eclipse the 618-foot-tall One Madison when it tops out next year.
Nestled mid block amongst the low-rise masonry and stone buildings typical of the Flatiron District, the tower's five-story base will be clad in granite. A quarry was found in China that produces a granite identical to that of Cass Gilbert's United States Custom House in Lower Manhattan from 1907. The granite coursing and bronze detailing of the entry doors and canopy will tie into the neighborhood context and welcome the tower's residents and guests.
From the 75-foot wide granite base, the glass tower will rise towards its 777-foot apex, tapering outward on the western facade to a final width of 125 feet. The tower's floor-to-ceiling glass cladding will offer panoramic views of New York and New Jersey. Eighty-three residences will be offered in a variety of configurations from simplex, duplex, full-floor and penthouse homes. Interiors designed by Martin Brudnizki Design Studio will take inspiration from the Art Deco and Moderne precedents of the neighborhood.
Residents will have access to five floors of amenities in the granite-clad base, including a library, fitness center, children's playroom, living room, and billiard's room. The Upper Club at the 54th floor will offer an entertainment suite with catering and demonstration kitchens for all residents.
Currently, the concrete superstructure has reached the 28th floor, slightly under the half way mark. Curtain wall installation is following behind superstructure's progress, having reached the ninth floor. Completion of the tower is slated for late 2016.
