Developers Magnum Real Estate Group and CIM Group have led the conversion of the upper floors of the landmark building, renamed 100 Barclay, into 158 residential condos and amenities.

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.

Superstructure has topped out at 1 South First (formerly 260 Kent), the second residential tower of the Domino Sugar master plan.
