How 3Eleven Honors Manhattan’s Little-Known History<\/h1>\n\n\n

What better position is there to be in as a Manhattan renter than lazing about in a pool, watching boats cruise the Hudson River? For those empty nesters and young professionals who have nabbed an apartment at 3Eleven, a new 930-unit building named after its address in the \u201cfoothills\u201d of Hudson Yards near Chelsea, it\u2019s a summertime reality. The 58-story structure by FXCollaborative Architects<\/a> is industrial in affect, honoring the nearby High Line, with enormous pitted-concrete structural columns and LED ropes lassoed around the lobby. The latter is a reference to a little-known part of West Side history: From the 1850\u2019s to 1941, urban cowboys on horseback would ride in front of freight trains traveling down 10th Avenue\u2014at the time known as Death Avenue\u2014waving red flags by day and lanterns at night to warn pedestrians of oncoming locomotives. Historic photographs of this moment in time, which captured that peculiar interweaving of the industrial and pioneering ages, now grace 3Eleven\u2019s common areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of common areas, some 60,000 of the property\u2019s 950,000 square feet are devoted to indoor and outdoor amenity spaces, \u201cthe provision of which is a huge differentiator for developers that became even more important over the pandemic years,\u201d FXCollaborative senior partner Guy Geier notes. It was crucial that such spaces be multi-use, able to be activated during the day (for WFH tenants) and night (for mixology and cooking classes, pet-adoption events\u2014the building offers doggie daycare). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe had an attitude of using materials honestly in a straightforward way, without a lot of embellishment,\u201d Geier continues. Take the chef\u2019s kitchen in the party room, where the patinated-copper countertop and backsplash are a reference to the same aged metal forming the Statue of Liberty. Elsewhere are touches, many by local artists, that wouldn\u2019t look out of place in the neighborhood\u2019s many galleries. Gradient-hued steel frames in the mailroom channel Donald Judd work, sculptures in the lobby and co-working library provide small riots of color, and a black-and-white stairwell mural yields graphic punch. \u201cThe architecture,\u201d Geier says, \u201cis a clean-lined container for the furniture and art to shine within, enabling the shapes, colors, textures, and craftsmanship of both to elevate each other.\u201d Yeehaw!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
