Description

801 11th Avenue is a development site which consists of the blockfront between 55th and 56th Streets along the west side of 11th avenue and sits at the edge of the Special Clinton District. The lot size is 26,817 square feet with 200 feet along 11th avenue. 11th Avenue has historically been known as “Automobile Row” with showrooms and offerings from mini-cooper to Lamborghini. Recent development has maintained the showrooms while diversifying the neighborhood by creating space with taller buildings. 801 11th Avenue is currently under review to be rezoned which would allow for commercial or residential uses of between 350,000 and 500,000 square feet across up to 45 floors. The upper floors would enjoy unobstructed views of the Hudson River.

The immediate area includes five different car dealerships, a landmark theatre, seven schools, CBS television, Clinton Park, which includes various athletic fields, dog-friendly areas and playgrounds, proximity to the Westside Highway and 3,500 new residential units, including the Bjarke Ingles Group pyramid-shaped tower, the “tetrahedron”.
