Last July, Moinian Group filed plans to construct a 13-story mixed-use building at 572 Eleventh Avenue in Midtown West's Hell's Kitchen neighborhood. The full blockfront Eleventh Avenue site is situated between 43rd and 44th streets was formerly home to the 1960's-style Market Diner which has been recently cleared by the busy developer. According to The Real Deal, Moinian purchased the property for $5.9 million in 2004. Permit filings show that CetraRuddy will be the architects and the structure will encompass nearly 180,000 square feet of gross floor area. There will be 163 residential units spread across its 13 floors and more than 10,000 square feet of commercial retail along its lower levels.

A zoning diagram was filed last week, giving us our first glimpse of how the structure will be massed. The building will hold tightly to its three streetwalls and have a staggered setbacks beginning at the tenth floor. Amenities will include a fitness center, several outdoor communal spaces, a rooftop deck, lounge and bike storage. The Moinian Group has several projects in development on the west side that include Sky across the street at 605 West 42nd Street, 3 Hudson Boulevard and 220 Eleventh Avenue that was recently revealed to be designed by Zaha Hadid.
Two blocks north at Eleventh & West 45th Street, the building that houses the Pom Pom Diner may be razed to make way for another residential development. A rendering posted on SWA Architecture's website shows a glass covered building with balconies.
