Excavation is in progress at 300 East 83rd Street, the site of a 22-story residential building in the Yorkville section of the Upper East Side. Designed by SLCE Architects and developed by Lalezarian Group, the 235-foot-tall (71.6-meter-tall) structure will yield 84,266 square feet (7,828 square meters) with 70 units, as well as a cellar and ground-floor retail space. The homes will average 1,203 square feet (111 square meters) each, which probably indicates that condominiums will be the unit type. Hudson 37 LLC is the general contractor for the property.
The rendering shows the façade composed of light-colored stone paneling surrounding a tight grid of floor-to-ceiling windows with gray spandrels. The massing features several setbacks lined with cornices around the midpoint and upper levels. The tower culminates in a stepped crown clad in pleated paneling. From the renderings, it looks like the main residential entrance will be at the northeastern corner along East 83rd Street, while retail will line Third Avenue.
