The gleaming glass façade of the 51-story Aloft Hotel at 450 Eleventh Avenue in Hudson Yards is approaching its final stages of construction. Designed by DSM Design Group and developed by Marx Development Group, this towering structure, rising to 642 feet, is set to become a 379-room hotel offering various amenities, including a business center, a ballroom, and a restaurant with an outdoor terrace on its fourth floor. The project's curtain wall is supplied by Custom Metalcrafters, and Atria Builders serves as the general contractor for this prime location at the corner of West 37th Street and Eleventh Avenue, just across from the Jacob K. Javits Center.
A Remarkable Progress Update
In our last update at the end of August, curtain wall installation was in its early stages, following a significant delay in construction. Since then, the glass façade has swiftly enveloped the building's jagged floor plates and reached near-completion. The construction crane has been dismantled, leaving only a few sections still awaiting their cladding. The most notable area yet to be finished is the western corner facing Eleventh Avenue, where the construction hoist remains in operation. The southern and eastern concrete walls will eventually be covered with EIFS panels. Although a revised completion date has not been officially announced, we anticipate that 450 Eleventh Avenue will wrap up construction in the latter half of 2024.
An Iconic Addition to Hudson Yards
The Aloft Hotel at 450 Eleventh Avenue is poised to be an iconic addition to the ever-evolving Hudson Yards neighborhood. Its sleek glass exterior and modern design will stand as a symbol of progress and innovation in Manhattan's western landscape. As the finishing touches come into place, it won't be long before guests can enjoy the hotel's unique offerings while taking in the stunning views of the city.
Impressive Design and Craftsmanship
With DSM Design Group's innovative design and Custom Metalcrafters' expertly crafted curtain wall, 450 Eleventh Avenue is a testament to exceptional design and craftsmanship. The blending of form and function in this project showcases the city's commitment to providing top-tier accommodations and amenities for visitors and locals alike. As construction advances and the glass façade nears completion, excitement builds for the grand opening of this remarkable structure in the heart of Hudson Yards.
Anticipating the Arrival
With each glass panel and piece of cladding put in place, the Aloft Hotel at 450 Eleventh Avenue gets closer to becoming a reality. Its strategic location, architectural excellence, and luxurious amenities promise to make it a notable landmark in Hudson Yards. As we look forward to the second half of 2024, the city can prepare to welcome this outstanding addition to its skyline, setting new standards for the hospitality industry in the area.
