Russian architecture studio Meganom<\/a> has released renderings showing an infinity pool on its near-completed skyscraper<\/a> in Manhattan’s NoMad neighbourhood.<\/p>\n

262 Fifth Avenue<\/a> will be “the tallest all-residential building on Fifth Avenue” according to Meganom<\/a>, and will be 860 feet (262 metres) tall with 52 storeys. It is just under the 985-foot (300-metre) supertall skyscraper<\/a> designation.<\/p>\n

Recently released, updated renders show a closer look at the building’s illuminated crown, which features a rooftop deck and pool contained underneath an open archway.<\/p>\n

The building was designed by Meganom<\/a>, with interiors by Danish studio Norm Architects<\/a>, while the project is developed by Five Points Development Group<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was first announced in 2017, and at the time, was proposed to be the first supertall skyscraper in its neighbourhood<\/a> at 1,001 feet tall. According to reports<\/a>, the building was scaled down in 2023.<\/p>\n

\"Meganom262 Fifth Avenue is nearing completion in New York City<\/p>\n

The skyscraper’s body is made up of a thin glass-and-aluminium<\/a> volume affixed to a superstructure. Dusk-time renderings illuminate the 26 residences inside the tower, which will be full-floor and duplex units.<\/p>\n

“The building is designed to maximise space, light and privacy,” said Meganom. “Each home features column-free interiors and sweeping, uninterrupted views of the Manhattan skyline, creating a sense of openness that is rarely found in the city.”<\/p>\n

Along with a scale-down, the project has faced starts and stops over the years<\/a>,\u00a0although sales have officially begun for the tower.<\/p>\n

As of early April, the building has topped out and cladding and windows are being installed along the facade.<\/p>\n

The project has also faced criticism<\/a> for impairing the view corridor on Fifth Avenue between the Flatiron Building and the Empire State Building.<\/p>\n

It was the first US project for Meganom when it was unveiled in 2017<\/a>. At the time, Dezeen spoke with Meganom co-founder Yury Grigoryan on Russia’s contemporary architecture<\/a> and the challenges of building there, which have certainly changed with Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The skyscraper will join several skinny skyscrapers in New York City<\/a>, including 111 West 57th by SHoP, which is the thinnest in the world.<\/p>\n
