Carter's Review

The Dylan is a 34-story residential rental tower at 309 Fifth Avenue between 31st and 32nd Streets.

The glass-clad building has a low-rise base at the building line and a dramatic setback tower with two cantilevered and angled sections and "sawtooth" northwest and southwest corners with many balconies.

Ismael Leyva served as the architect. His other projects include Plaza 57, Post Toscana, 15 Renwick Street, One Carnegie Hill and 785 Eighth Avenue.

309 Fifth Owners LLC, of which Haskel Cohen is a partner, was the developer.

The mid-block building, which utilized development rights transferred from a qualified Inclusionary Housing site and air rights from 313 Fifth Avenue, is 452 feet high, according to documents on file with the Department of Buildings.

The area between 23rd and 33rd Street and Fifth and Madison avenues has recently witnessed substantial new residential activity.
