The building superstructure is emerging at 10 W. 17th Street, where 34 residential units are underway in a 18-story narrow building on the edge of Union Square and Chelsea. The project is being developed by Prosper Property Group, built by First Standard and designed by DXA Studio.
At 185 feet in height, the drape-like facade stands out as a key element of the design, an apparent nod to the neighborhood's history in textiles and garment manufacturing.
Per DXA's project page, "10W17 is a celebration of the inflection point of the worlds of fashion and architecture, with a layered building envelope that records the architectural traditions of the Ladies Mile beneath a fabric-like draping of high-performance concrete meant to evoke the spirit of modernity and the origins of the aesthetic movement."
The project is expected to be completed in the spring of 2027
