RFR Realty’s 63-story, 94-unit luxury residential tower at 100 East 53rd Street has been rising since early last year, with in-depth renderings of it being revealed later that fall. The tower has since topped out at 711 feet above street level, according to Curbed. Units will come in one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom configurations, and one of the two four-bedroom duplexes will be a 6,517 square-foot penthouse. The first two floors will house a food court and a restaurant, and floors three and four will host amenities. Hines and Vanke are partnered with RFR, and Foster + Partners is the design architect. William T. Georgis is designing the interiors and SLCE Architects is serving as the architect of record. Completion is expected in early 2017.

The Bauhouse Group’s planned 900-foot-tall residential development near the East Side’s Sutton Place has been in the works for months and now tangible progress is about to happen. The developer has obtained demolition permits for the assemblage at 428-432 East 58th Street, it announced Monday. 426 East 58th Street will remain, though air rights were purchased from it. In addition to the demolition permit announcement, a new rendering of the tower has been made public, and can be seen above. The tower, which evokes both the Rafael Viñoly-designed 432 Park Avenue and the Herzog & de Meuron-designed 56 Leonard Street, has been designed by London-based architect Norman Foster of Foster + Partners.
