225 East 39th Street is closing in on completion following last Friday's kick-off of its housing lottery. From now until September 27th, New Yorkers earning 60% or less of the area median income are welcome to apply for the lottery in the new, 36-story, curving glass tower. Located in Murray Hill on the cusp of Midtown East, the impressive tower topped out in May at a height of 295 feet and is rapidly nearing completion. Developed by Fisher Brothers and designed by Handel Architects, 225 East 29th Street features a reflective curtain wall, transparent base, and shallow plaza for a truly unique stature in the heart of Manhattan.
