Planning and development

The building was first proposed in 2012, with designs released to the public then. [4] Plans were later approved in 2014. [5] Construction began in 2017 Advanced by Cauldwell Wingate Company [6] [7] and the project received $120 million in construction financing from Bank OZK in September 2017. [8] The building topped out in early 2018 [9] and was completed in late 2018, with the first tenants expected to move in to the building in March 2019. [1]

Hyundai's luxury car brand Genesis signed a lease for all 40,000 square feet (3,700 m2) of retail space in the building in December 2017. [10] In March 2019, Starwood Capital Group signed a lease for the building's eighth floor. [11]

Design and reception

40 Tenth Avenue is Studio Gang's first commission in New York. The building features a chiseled, diamond-shaped curtain wall that was engineered to eliminate shadows cast onto the adjacent High Line park. [1] Additionally, the facade allegedly minimized heat gain, reduced glare for drivers on the West Side Highway, and discouraged migratory birds strikes. [12] The 12-story building includes 20,000 square feet (1,900 m2) of outdoor space and 16 feet (4.9 m) high ceilings. [13]

Justin Davidson, writing for New York , referred to the structure as "...one of the most exciting chapters in the future of the High Line." [14] Similarly, Architectural Digest named the building one of their "14 Most Anticipated Buildings of 2019". [15]
