New York City’s Sutton 58 Rises Past Cantilever

Sutton 58 will likely be finished in 2021.

06 August 2019 | New York City, United States

A yellow safety cocoon has been installed around the perimeter of the floor plates at Sutton 58 (also known as 3 Sutton Place and 426-432 East 58^th Street) as construction of the 847-foot-tall (258-meter-tall) skyscraper rises above Midtown East. Located between Sutton Place South and First Avenue, the formwork has surpassed the parapets of the adjacent buildings and is cantilevered out over the structure’s eastern neighbor. The project is being designed by Thomas Juul-Hansen and developed by Gamma Real Estate.

New photos show workers installing each piece of the perimeter cocoon. It appears that the main northern elevation will feature a grid of large square windows that could repeat to the top of the building.

“Sutton 58 will become one of the tallest structures in the neighborhood once it tops off.”

Sutton 58 will become one of the tallest structures in the neighborhood once it tops off, most likely in the second half of 2020. So far, the massing of the reinforced concrete structure appears to have a simple and orthodox design, one that deviates from the project’s outdated renderings by Foster + Partners.

The best viewpoint to see the rise and topping off of Sutton 58 will be from the southern section of the waterfront promenade of Roosevelt Island.

A completion date for Sutton 58 has not been announced, but it should likely be finished in 2021.
