Construction Update: One West End

Southeast corner of the tower.

Construction is wrapping up at One West End, the Elad Group and Silverstein Properties' 42-story tower within the Riverside Center development. Designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects, the project is composed of an eight-story podium for the retail and 116 affordable rental units and a tower for the 246 residential condo units. The podium features a limestone façade with punched windows and ornamental metal grilles covering the PTAC units. A faceted glass curtain wall with vertical striped frit pattern clads the condo tower.

Amenities for the condo owners include a 12,000 square foot terrace with cabanas, a demonstration kitchen, a communal living room, gaming and children rooms, and a pool at the base of the tower that cantilevers out towards 11th Avenue.

One West End

Superstructure continues to rise and curtain wall installation is ongoing at Riverside Center's One West End tower from Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects.

Superstructure is close to topping out at One West End, the Elad Group and Silverstein Properties' 42-story tower within the Riverside Center development. With only a few floors left to pour, the Pelli Clarke Pelli tower has started to reveal its final appearance as the limestone facade of the podium wraps up and the glass curtain wall of the tower reaches the lower seven floors. Also starting to take shape is the steel structure for the cantilevered atrium that protrudes out of the podium onto 11th Avenue. A pool for the residents will be housed inside the completed structure. The project is the first residential condo tower of the Riverside Center development and will offer 246 units, as well as an attached affordable building with separate entrance that has been widely discussed in the press as the "poor door." 

Completion is slated for some time in 20147.
