The development at 489-501 Ninth Avenue, situated on the border of Hudson Yards and the Garment District in Manhattan, involves the construction of two 12-story residential buildings. Designed by Archimaera Architecture, these structures are developed by ZD Jasper Realty under the entity ZDJ Hudson Yards LLC. The project includes a total of 220,000 square feet of space, housing 174 condominium units with an average size of 970 square feet per unit. Additionally, the complex will feature ground-floor commercial space, a cellar level, and a 30-foot-long rear yard for residents. The buildings are part of a significant development in the area, with construction advancing rapidly. By early 2025, both structures had been built to their parapets, with the façade of the northern building nearing completion. The design includes fluted paneling and floor-to-ceiling windows, with angled balconies on the upper floors and curved corner balconies along Ninth Avenue. A notable aspect of this development is its consideration as a large Passive House condominium project, although "first-of-its-kind" claims have been nuanced by existing similar developments across the city. The project involves the purchase of air rights from a neighboring holdout structure owned by Pinnacle Group, facilitating construction without fully integrating the holdout into the development. The area has seen substantial changes over recent decades, reflecting broader transformations in Midtown Manhattan and surrounding neighborhoods like Hell's Kitchen and Hudson Yards.
