Excavation begins for 2-tower project at 570 Washington Street in Manhattan

Excavation and pilings are underway at 570 Washington Street, the site of a two-tower residential project in Manhattan’s West Village. Developed by Zeckendorf Development, Atlas Capital and The Baupost Group, the $1.25 billion complex will consist of 19- and 36-story towers rising 400 and 450 feet, respectively, and will yield an undisclosed number of condominium units and commercial space, according to various media outlets

ACI VI Clarkson is the owner and AECOM Tishman is the general contractor for the property, which occupies a 1.3-acre block bound by Clarkson Street to the north, West Houston Street to the south, Washington Street to the east and West Street to the west. The developers acquired the plot for $340 million in early 2022 and have projected a $1 billion sellout on the homes.

The project is designed by COOKFOX Architects with SLCE Architects.
