## **[Construction Update: 304 Fifth Avenue](https://www.newyorkyimby.com/2013/07/construction-update-304-fifth-avenue.html)** BY: NIKOLAI FEDAK ON JULY 18TH 2013 AT 8:00 AM _304 Fifth Avenue_ > Across the street from the almost-complete 309 Fifth Avenue – aka The Dylan – is yet another new building at 304 Fifth Avenue. According to filings with the Department of Buildings, the developer is The Development Corp of NYP, which has a fairly non-informational website that seems to list port properties rather than anything that would be in Manhattan. > Despite an apparent lack of information, architect Sung Ho Shin’s website has a rendering of a 15-story tower that seems to have been an old proposal for the site – the tight boundaries limit creativity given the project’s unworthy location for starchitecture. Still, the latest permits at the DOB indicate a downward adjustment in 304 Fifth Avenue’s height, which has been reduced to 13 stories and 163 feet. Bricolage is apparently the architect, but their site also lacks any designs. > Going on the information that is available, the original design looked straight out of the 1980s, and it seems unlikely that the new plan will deviate in a major way – though 304 Fifth Avenue’s planned use has also changed since the original plans, shifting from residential to commercial. > Construction is well underway, and the first floor is currently being fabricated – no formal completion date has been announced, but given the scope, 2014 would be a reasonable assumption. .
