Setting new standards in the growing trend of air rights development, 35XV is an artful composition of program and form.
Rising 347 feet above its mid-block site, 35XV is a dynamic addition to Manhattan's vibrant Chelsea neighborhood. Utilizing excess development rights from the historic Xavier High School, the unique, residential-academic hybrid design artfully resolves the project's principal requirements: providing needed expansion space for Xavier; creating highly crafted residential units that take advantage of their elevated location; conforming to highly restrictive municipal bulk controls, including sloped sky exposure planes; and being a "good neighbor," relating to the both the Xavier campus and to the neighboring streetscape, despite the project's overall size. 35XV sets new standards in the growing trend of air rights development, meeting housing demands in a dense Manhattan neighborhood while providing needed support for a local non-profit institution, all within a contextually specific, sculptural design
