When completed this coming fall, Stephen B. Jacobs Group's 328 West 38th Street will offer 568 rental residential units, 120 of which will be set aside as affordable housing. The $400 million, 24-story project includes two separate towers that will each feature a 4700-square-foot green roof, as well as graywater collection systems.
What's particularly interesting is that the architect sought- and received- a zoning variance that allowed it to recess the 38th and 37th Street entrances from the rest of the building's frontage in order to incorporate natural landscaping. Those entrances include high-performance glazing which will, in part, support the project's application for a LEED Silver rating from USGBC. Each tower is constructed with poured-in-place concrete; limestone clads the street-level base, which will offer 11,000 square feet of retail space. The project team also includes Rosenwasser Grossman Consulting Engineers and interior designers Saladino Group and Stratford Design Group.
328 West 38th Street is located between Eighth and Ninth Avenues just a few blocks north of Penn Station and boasts a nearly 1.1 acre footprint (as well as a nearly 400-space underground parking garage). You may recall that Stephen B. Jacobs also designed the Edge condominium project in Williamsburg, which continues to pursue both tenants and its LEED Silver rating from USGBC.
