Construction Tour: 368 Third Avenue - VU

Southeast corner from Third Avenue.

Facade installation is nearing completion at Minrav Development’s 36-story residential condo tower the VU at 368 Third Avenue in the Kips Bay neighborhood of Manhattan. Designed by SLCE Architects, the tower’s facade features a glass window wall with a grid of faceted metal panel slab and pier caps. Bronze colored metal panel accents complement the tower’s mullion color.

When completed, the tower will offer residential units ranging in size from studio-to-three-bedrooms with interiors designed by Paris Forino. There will be a pair of duplex penthouse apartments at the top of the tower. On the second floor, residents will have access to a full floor of amenities that include a fitness center, party room, and a media room.
