Construction is wrapping up at HFZ Capital Group's rental to condo conversion at 88 and 90 Lexington Avenue, in the NoMad neighborhood. This two-building project consists of a 19-story pre-war building from 1927 and shorter, 13-story tower from 1958, both of which served as offices for Blue Cross and Blue Shield originally.

88 and 90 Lexington Avenue
Take an exclusive tour inside the residential conversion at 88 and 90 Lexington Avenue by Workshop/APD in NoMad.
Last week I took an exclusive tour of HFZ Capital Group's rental to condo conversion at 88 and 90 Lexington Avenue, in the NoMad neighborhood. This two-building project consists of a 19-story pre-war building from 1927 and shorter, 13-story tower from 1958, both of which served as offices for Blue Cross and Blue Shield originally. Workshop/APD has overseen the design of the project, which includes the interior renovation of the pre-war tower at 88 Lexington and a complete overhaul of the interior and exterior of the 1958 tower at 90 Lexington.

While the Art Deco limestone façade of 88 Lexington has been preserved, the bland façade of 90 Lexington has been removed and replaced with a glass and stone curtain wall that unifies the development by referencing the material and window heights of its neighbor.

70 Charlton
Construction is underway at 70 Charlton, the first luxury residential tower in the newly rezoned Hudson Square neighborhood in Manhattan. The 22-story development is led by the Extell Development Company with architecture by Beyer Blinder Belle. Situated mid-block, the development is composed of two towers, fronting Charlton and Vandam, connected by a breezeway at the ground floor. Currently, superstructure has reached the fifth floor on the Charlton Street tower, while work continues at the cellar level in preparation for the Vandam Street tower to start rising. As an acknowledgement of the historical character of the neighborhood's industrial past, the towers will be clad in brick, metal, and glass.

The project will also include 2,800 square feet of ground floor retail. Sustainability features on the project include participation in the "Zone Green" building code program and an expectation of LEED certification. Completion is expected in late Fall 2016.
