Exterior work is continuing on 450 Eleventh Avenue, a 51-story Aloft Hotel in Hudson Yards. Designed by DSM Design Group and developed by Marx Development Group, the 642-foot-tall skyscraper will yield 379 guest rooms and amenities including a business center, a ballroom, and a fourth-floor restaurant with a bar and outdoor terrace. The property is located at the corner of West 37th Street and Eleventh Avenue, directly across from the Jacob K. Javits Center.

Work has shifted to the blank concrete walls on the southern and eastern elevations since our last update in late December, when installation of the glass panels on the opposite faces had recently concluded, with the exception of the gap where the construction hoist still remains attached. Recent photos show the sheer walls in the process of being painted and covered in white insulation boards in preparation for the final layer of EIFS paneling. Crews were seen working from scaffolding rigs suspended from the rooftop mechanical davits.

The below photos show the current state of the intricate glass envelope, with only the western corner left to finish once the hoist is dismantled following the completion of the bulk of the interior work.

Part of the below-grade infrastructure’s walls are being formed within the footprint of the sidewalks being redone along West 37th Street.

The nearest subway from the development is the 7 train at the 34th Street-Hudson Yards station to the south at Bella Abzug Park, along Hudson Boulevard East between West 34th and West 35th Streets.

A revised completion date has not been announced, though YIMBY anticipates 450 Eleventh Avenue will finish construction sometime in early 2025.
