Façade installation is progressing on 525 Sixth Avenue, a 13-story residential building in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village. Designed by BKSK Architects and developed by Izaki Group under the 525 6th Ave LLC, the 145-foot-tall structure will span 123,000 square feet and yield 71 condominium units and ground-floor commercial space. The property is alternately addressed as 100-106 West 14th Street and located at the corner of West 14th Street and Sixth Avenue, just below the border with Chelsea.
Window installation has begun within the voids of the envelope framework, which was just beginning to be formed with metal studs and yellow insulation boards at the time of our last update in late October. Recent photos show almost the entire reinforced concrete superstructure framed out, and large sections of the exterior are covered in scaffolding to aid in the assembly of the fenestration. The lower levels of the eastern and northern elevation are shrouded in white plastic sheets, behind which crews are likely working to lay the brick façade.

525 Sixth Avenue will feature a distinctive multifaceted massing with the bulk of the structure rising on the northern side of the lot along Sixth Avenue. The design incorporates a series of recessed and protruding volumes with numerous rounded corners, and multiple stepped setbacks topped with terraces on the upper levels. The main entrance will sit below a sidewalk canopy and a tall arched window near the southern corner of the property, and much of the first level will be enclosed in expansive floor-to-ceiling glass for the retail frontage. Above, the brick façade is shown with a mix of bond patterns, as well as sections of darker masonry on the upper levels and within the recessed void above the entrance. In addition, portions of the exterior are shown clad in what appears to be rusted copper paneling, adding contrast to the building’s appearance.
A list of residential amenities has yet to be announced. The 14th Street subway station is located at the foot of the development, providing convenient access to the F, L, and M trains.
525 Sixth Avenue’s anticipated completion date is slated for spring 2026, as noted on site.

A hint of H.H. Richardson in this structure makes it distinctive. Three out of 4 corners of 14th Street and 6th Ave. have changed making for a complete makeover of this once seedy intersection.
agree.
but. the street denizens have not gotten the memo though…
this one looks great – why didnt the neighbor sell the nothing buildings on 6th ave side? he wanted to keep his precious porn and pot tenants?
Those will bite it soon enough, and when they do hopefully the new development will feature a nice little detail to not obscure that lovely curved corner.
Fantastic!!
Like it!
This is a nice building! Kudos for putting some aesthetic value in the look of this one. Great look!
Very nice!
These new buildings on 3 corners of 14/6 are just way way way pricey for what you get. Guess the Serhants and Corcorans are happy with the way way way high commission checks can pocket.
Very nice building design. Sadly the intersection of 14th & 6th is still quite seedy and unsavory.
Exciting design!
Should be great
This intersection is becoming one of the more architecturally diverse corners in the city with a completely different style on each corner. It can be very nice when not every building looks the same.
Other than the curved corners, I don’t see much architectural value in this brick building (not ugly, but I don’t think it’s excellent or aesthetically pleasing) but ofc this website is full of brick lovers.
Did brick hurt you?
No. I loves tone (granite or some special cement like RAMSA’s) or certain pre-war brick buildings with interesting details, but I really cannot understand this website users’ obsession with bricks
meant “stone”
Wasn’t this the location of the infamous bar Barbary Coast??
The beautiful rounded corners can be at odds, with the angular skyline of most skyscrapers: Thanks to Michael Young.
David, you gotta up the game with Deepseek. Your AI comment was in a random place this time!
The Barbary Coast was at the NW Corner of 7th Ave and W14th Street in a former 19th century hotel now an apartment building with multiple small businesses in it. That structure has had issues with stability but has since been repaired.
The massing of this corner is hideous and now we have 2 western corners that should be failures. Not sure why anyone with money would what to live on at this intersection,
