Construction Tour: 505 W 43
Looking up at the West 43rd Street facade.
Construction is wrapping up at 505 West 43rd Street, a two tower residential condo development in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan. The project is co-developed by El Ad US Holding and Mi & Co Development with design by ODA New York.
West 43rd Street facade.
Spanning the full depth of the mid block site, each of the two towers front a side street and are connected at their rear yards by a 6,000 square foot courtyard garden and enclosed passageway. An active Amtrak rail line runs underneath the site, which necessitated building a platform to allow the project to straddle the tracks. The primary street facing and courtyard facing facades are clad in a hand laid limestone brick and large floor-to-ceiling windows, a contemporary nod to the historical context of the neighborhood.

The Sorting House
Take an exclusive look inside The Sorting House, a collection of condos under construction above a U.S. Postal Service facility in Hell's Kitchen.
In the heart of Hell's Kitchen at 318 West 52nd Street, work is underway by Howard Glatzer's Cadence to convert part of a three-story U.S. Postal Service sorting facility from 1926 into residential condos. The design by Architecture Outfit removes the existing third floor and adds 30 units on three new floors. While demolition has yet to finish on the third floor, The Sorting House has already reached 85% sold in its first three months on the market.

Once demolition completes, three new floors will house 30 loft style units, ranging from studios to three bedrooms, with some duplex and penthouse residences. Of the 30 units, 28 will feature private terraces or roof patios and all residents will have access to the 2,600 square foot common outdoor terrace at the roof. Other amenities include a fitness room, private storage, and bike storage.

At the ground floor, the USPS will retain its Radio City Station post office and a new residential entry with a custom steel entrance canopy will be added at the eastern end of the West 52nd Street facade. In keeping with the current red brick exterior, the three new floors will also be clad in brick with decorative metal accents to mitigate the merging of the old and new facades.
