![Rendering of the nearly completed Pier 97 at Clinton Cove Park in Hudson River Park (Melk!). Funding has been announced for future improvements to the heavily paved areas to the south.](https://thumbs.cityrealty.com/assets/smart/848x/webp/b/b1/b1bf507acbe1a0edd68d9b53158e0ab48273dadb/hells-kitchen-development.jpg)
In July 2024, the Hudson River Park Trust announced plans to develop a strip of the park from the West 30th Street heliport to the Intrepid Museum at West 46th Street. The area currently includes a compost dropoff, temporary pickleball courts, the Circle Line, and the soon-to-be-redeveloped Pier 76. The goal is to create a continuous park experience; to that end, they have hired Marvel, whose credentials include Gansevoort Streetscapes in the Meatpacking District, an extension of Mill Pond Park in the Bronx, and a vision for the Union Square Partnership.

In this article:
The news comes on the heels of Pier 97’s opening earlier this year. An extension of Clinton Cove Park at West 57th Street, features include a playground with water feature, an “all-ages slide” connecting the elevated belvedere to sun deck below, a blue turf sports field, and flexible gathering areas. Pier 97 hosted jazz concerts earlier this summer and is part of the Healthy on the Hudson outdoor workout lineup. Movie buffs will recognize the old Pier 97 terminal building from the opening sequence of Taxi Driver and marvel at how far the area has come since then.

Indeed, Hell’s Kitchen on the whole has come a long way from the unruly tenements and fetid industries (think slaughterhouses and factories) that once dominated the area. The West Side Association of Commerce tried to rebrand the neighborhood Clinton (derived from DeWitt Clinton Park) in the late 1950s, but it never took, and locals past and present embrace its notorious name.
Whatever one chooses to call it, there is no question that the 7 train’s extension to Hudson Yards has improved access to this part of New York, which in turn enjoys close proximity to the Theater District, Columbus Circle, and Hudson River Park. New bike lanes on Tenth and Eleventh Avenues have also improved accessibility as well as local quality of life.
The Hudson Yards mega-development has brought glitzy new recreation, retail, and restaurant opportunities to this stretch of the West Side, and is set to welcome a fourth Eataly outpost in spring 2025. Hell's Kitchen proper is still rich in independent restaurants, nightlife, and boutiques, but has attracted big-box retailers like Target, CVS, and Bond Vet. No luck with Trader Joe’s despite a February 2022 campaign, but a Whole Foods Market Daily Shop has been announced for the northwest corner of Eighth Avenue and 50th Street.

The residential scene has also changed over the years. At the beginning of the 21st century, a crop of glassy, amenity-rich rentals rose along Tenth and Eleventh Avenues and 40th through 42nd Streets. However, a new batch of low-rise boutique condominiums and more character-rich rentals has breathed more new life into the area and spoken to its desirability.
Below, we look at forthcoming projects poised to reshape the area from West 40th to 59th Streets, spanning Eighth Avenue to the Hudson River. While Hell’s Kitchen’s boundaries were once considered to extend as far south as 34th Street, the southernmost section has begun to rebrand itself as Hudson Yards; projects for this stretch may be seen here.

At the nexus of the Theater District and Hell’s Kitchen, work is underway on LightSquare, a new boutique condominium rising on the former site of two non-descript commercial buildings. Construction topped out in January 2024, and the light brick facade and floor-to-ceiling windows are evident behind construction netting.
Residential amenities include a lobby with package room, a fitness center with state-of-the-art equipment, a pet spa, and a rooftop terrace with outdoor kitchen and movie screening area. Sales launched in June 2024, and six of the 29 units have already entered contract.

A new Port Authority terminal will not be complete for years to come (see below), but another project promises to raise the tone of the area in the nearer future. The block-through building at 312 West 43rd Street calls for retail frontage on West 42nd Street, a residential lobby on West 43rd Street, and the entire project is distinguished by its soaring height, bronze-hued paneling, and West 42nd Street podium with narrow vertical fins.

The Ellery is home to over 40,000 square feet of retail space and 330 residential units on floors 5-30. Fourth-floor amenities include private gardens, a fitness center, a spa and sauna, and coworking areas. The crowning glory is a common roof terrace with a 40-foot lap pool and sun deck. An affordable lottery took place earlier this year; leasing launched a few months later, and the first residents are moving in.

In 2018, developer Gotham Organization bought a portion of the site housing the former headquarters of nonprofit Covenant House. Years later, it started construction on a new apartment building at 550 Tenth Avenue after its work on new Covenant House headquarters was complete. When it was still in the works, Community Board 4 specifically requested that it “avoid looking like a dystopian glass box”; to that end, a facade was designed by Handel Architects to feature rust-red panels.

The project attracted attention all over the city in July 2023, when a construction crane at the site caught fire and partially collapsed, but it does not appear to have significantly slowed progress. Construction topped out at the end of 2023, and exterior work is now winding down.
An affordable housing lottery is underway for 114 studio through two-bedroom units, and a market-rate launch is on the horizon. All units will feature oversized windows, energy-efficient appliances (including dishwashers), and central air conditioning. Residential amenities are set to include an attended lobby, a fitness center, a party room, private storage, bike storage, a central laundry room, and a 45th-story sky lounge.

The Gild is gearing up to launch sales in a busy section of Manhattan near the Theater District and Columbus Circle. But with no more than four units per floor, Japanese-inspired materials, and a courtyard with green wall, this new building is cultivating a serene atmosphere.
The project stands out at street level with its radiant facade, brass-colored louvers, and intriguingly patterned floor-to-ceiling windows. The 28 units are set to include three townhouses and three penthouses. Approximately half the units will have private outdoor space, and all residents will have access to amenities like a common roof terrace, bike room, gym, and an outdoor terrace with meditation room and children's play area. An offering plan with a $64.48 million sellout was accepted in November 2022, and lists prices starting at $1.395 million for one-bedrooms, $2.15 million for two-bedrooms, and $3.695 million for three-bedrooms.

Boutique condominiums have played a part in the revitalization of Hell’s Kitchen, but 410 West 49th Street takes that to a new level: Only two units – one measuring 2,180 square feet, the other measuring 3,223 square feet – will be housed in the building. Construction has recently topped out, and next to go up are the light-colored facade, floor-to-ceiling windows, and gold-colored window trims seen in the rendering.
With only on-site storage and a cellar-level lounge listed, 410 West 49th Street is not the most amenity-rich new building to come along. However, residents will benefit from convenient access to multiple subway lines and easy access to popular restaurants, nightlife, and retail. An offering plan has not yet been filed.

In May 2023, developer Cadence Property Group announced plans for a new building to rise on an empty lot and parking lot on the corner of Ninth Avenue and 52nd Street, up the street from The Sorting House, another of the developer's projects and a testament to the rise of Hell’s Kitchen. Official permits were filed in August 2023, and construction topped out earlier this summer. Details about the interiors and amenities are not yet available, but prices are expected to start at $1.4 million.
The site was vacant when permits were filed, but The Real Deal notes that it once housed the Hotalings News Agency, which carried daily newspapers and magazines from all over the world. It was indispensable for media outlets in its heyday, but went bust in the wake of the internet and closed in 1999.

In summer 2023, the first renderings were revealed for a new condominium for the site of a four-story brick building that first housed the Church of St. Ambrose and later Centro Maria, an all-women's apartment building that offered dorm-style living and meals cooked by the nuns who staffed the residence. According to The City, the Catholic Church put the building on the market to pay for sexual abuse lawsuits; the developer bought the site for $25 million in 2022. Demolition permits have been approved, but a project timeline is not yet available.

In addition to the publisher that gave it its name, the office building at 330 West 42nd Street has housed Marvel Comics and Group Health Insurance. More recently, it stands out as one of the early office-to-residential conversions that came out of the pandemic: Work is underway to turn floors 12 to 32 of the McGraw Hill building to residential apartments in a central location.
The residents will arrive to a separate entrance from the office workers, and there will be two floors of exclusive amenities on top. The project also includes a makeover for the office space, a redesign of the lobby space (to the chagrin of preservationists), and the restoration of McGraw-Hill name above the entrance.
In a 2023 interview with the New York Post, developer Gerard Nocera said, "We've cleared all the hurdles," and a mid-2024 completion date was anticipated. But in July 2024, a venture between Blackstone and Rialto Capital Advisors filed to foreclose on the building, claiming the owners defaulted on a mortgage.

Completion estimated for 2024
In its heyday as a hotel by Ian Schraeger and Phillippe Starck, the Hudson Hotel attracted the likes of Jon Bon Jovi, Taylor Swift, Debbie Harry, and Paul McCartney. However, that wasn’t enough to keep it from becoming a pandemic casualty. Developer CSC Coliving bought the building for $207 million in July 2022, and its conversion from an 878-key hotel to a 438-unit residential building is well underway. The co-living concept will offer private living quarters with an emphasis on community living, and the studio through three-beds will reportedly be priced 20% below market rate.
The residential conversion represents the latest chapter in the building’s rich history, which dates back to the late 1920s. Ann Morgan, a daughter of banker J.P., built it as the American Women’s Association to provide residences and a social club for young female professionals. In 1941, it became the Henry Hudson Hotel and offered coed living space. After World War II, it housed WNET-TV’s offices and studios. Messrs. Schraeger and Starck converted it to a luxury hotel in the late 1990s/early 2000s.

In July 2024, a groundbreaking ceremony took place for The Lirio, a new project set to contain 112 permanently affordable housing units. These are set to include 44 affordable housing units for families and 67 units for formerly homeless individuals – among these, 59 will be supportive housing units targeted for long-term HIV/AIDS survivors. The building’s name comes from the oldest living tree in New York City, a tulip tree also known as Liriodendron, as a symbol of surviving and thriving in a radically changed landscape.
In addition to the housing units, the building will house new MTA offices and over 9,000 square feet of retail space. The masonry-inspired design pays tribute to historic Hell's Kitchen architecture, but it will be constructed to Passive House standards with features like green roofs, solar panels (both of which can be seen in the newest rendering), a high-performance building envelope, and VRF HVAC.

For many years, the vacant lot on the western side of Tenth Avenue between West 48th and 49th Streets has been known as "the DEP site" for the Department of Environmental Protection's use of it for the maintenance of water infrastructure. But in February 2024, construction began on Rialto West, an eight-story, mixed-use development that has been in the works since 2019.
Upon completion, the studio to three-bedroom units will include 15% of units for formerly homeless households, 25% for households earning 50% of the AMI, 20% for households earning 80% of the AMI, 30% for households earning 120% of the AMI, and 10% for households earning 130% of the AMI. Amenities are set to include a fitness room, on-site laundry room, and bike room.

In December 2021, shortly after the first renderings were revealed, the Manhattan Borough Board approved a project that would utterly transform the former site of a slaughterhouse just south of the Javits Center: Two towers measuring 56 and 57 stories are set to bring 350 affordable housing units (with 75 units as supportive housing for formerly homeless individuals and families), a hotel, office space, and supermarket to the Hell's Kitchen/Hudson Yards nexus. The project is aiming for LEED Gold certification.
As per The Real Deal, the headquarters of the New York Butchers’ Dressed Meat Company once stood on the site and stayed operational until the late 1950s. Decades later, in the 1980s, Community Board 4 sought to have it designated a New York City Landmark, but the building was demolished after being discovered to be structurally unsound.

The bid for a casino license in New York City has attracted some of the biggest names in real estate, and The Avenir represents Silverstein Group’s bid. In June 2023, the developer revealed a proposal for a two-building, 46-story, 1.8 million-square-foot project to take shape on an undeveloped site the developer already owns at Eleventh Avenue and West 41st Street. Renderings show a 45th-story sky bridge, and the project is to feature an eight-story casino by Greenwood Gaming and Entertainment in the base, a luxury hotel, a top-floor performance venue, and a 100% affordable residential component. Moreover, it is set to feature an all-electrical power system and renewable construction materials.
This would represent the developer’s latest project in the area – it was at the helm of River Place and Silver Towers, two entries in Hell’s Kitchen’s earlier residential renaissance. The project is said to be “shovel-ready upon approval,” but it is not clear on how much of this plan is contingent on Silverstein Group getting the casino license.

The bus terminal on Eighth Avenue and West 40th-42nd Streets has been described as “a commuter’s nightmare” (Port Authority Chairman Kevin O’Toole), “the worst infrastructure eyesore in the nation” (Port Authority Executive Director Rick Cotton), and “the single worst place on planet Earth” (comedian John Oliver), but that is set to change. In early February 2024, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey revealed a new design for a glittering, high-tech new terminal where construction could begin as soon as this year.
Renderings of the new Port Authority terminal depict a multi-story glass atrium to provide an airy atmosphere, and it will be underpinned by a state-of-the-art, environmentally friendly infrastructure that includes onsite renewable energy, zoned heating and cooling, and a sensor-based monitoring system that will allow for smoother movement of buses in and out of the terminal. It will also give three acres of green space back to the neighborhood.

The three-phase plan calls for a new storage and staging facility to be built first, so as to serve as a temporary terminal while the existing terminal is razed and rebuilt; other parts include a new main terminal and new ramps into the Lincoln Tunnel. In a move similar to the construction of Moynihan Train Hall down the street, the Port Authority wants to allow the private development of two high-rise office towers on Eighth Avenue on the corner of 40th and 42nd Streets to help pay for the construction of the new terminal, via payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT).
A public comment period is currently underway, and a final environmental impact statement by the Federal Transit Authority is expected by the end of the year. The temporary terminal and new ramps are estimated to be completed in 2028, and completion of the new main terminal is estimated for 2032.

At a time when a Robert De Niro-backed, Bjarke Ingels-designed studio is in the works in Astoria, and a new Steiner Studios campus has been announced for Sunset Park, Manhattan is not about to be left out: The forthcoming Sunset Pier 94 Studios is set to be the borough’s first purpose-built studio campus.
The 266,000-square-foot project is set to include six purpose-built soundstages with production control room facilities and 145,000 square feet of production support space and offices. It will also include improvements for the surrounding area that include new public restrooms for Hudson River Park, 25,000 square feet of waterfront open space and pier access, bikeway safety improvements, and a 1,850-square-foot community amenity space. Moreover, the project is aiming for LEED Gold and Fitwel certifications and 100% renewable energy, not to mention planning a program to support workforce training and development programs to connect local residents to jobs in film, television, and other media production.

Variety notes that the project comes at a time when generous tax incentives have made New York a popular filming destination, and this location will prove especially beneficial: In an August 2023 interview, Mackenzie Berman of Blackstone (a backer of Sunset Studios) cited the pier’s proximity to popular filming locations like Times Square, Central Park, and the New York Public Library; he also mentioned easy access to office hubs for content creators like HBO, Disney, and CBS.
