Construction is in full swing again on a Rafael Viñoly Architects-designed 88-story 125 Greenwich Street Manhattan residential project after resuming earlier this year following a four-year pause.
The news comes as the blog New York YIMBY reports scenes of added glass curtain panels and other facade elements amidst renewed construction at or near the crown of the 912-foot tower. The firm followed with an announcement this week stating the project will now be completed in 2024 and under the new monicker The Greenwich by Rafael Viñoly, honoring the legacy of their late founder, who passed away in March at the age of 78.
The restart was expected after February's announcement that developers had finally secured the $313 million needed to complete the project after it topped out in March of 2019.
Once complete, the parallelogram-shaped design will showcase his storied facility with structural engineering and what his son Román Viñoly describes in a press release as an “endless curiosity about how they live their lives and how the spaces he designed for them could contribute to their sense of well-being.”
The building program calls for a total of 272 high-end residences, 27,000 square feet worth of leisure space in four upper amenities floors, and luxury interiors designed by March & White (MAWD).
Bizzi & Partners, Bilgili, and the Fortress Investment Group are the client. The 2024 completion date is ten years after another tall building of Viñoly’s in New York, 432 Park Avenue, topped out on Midtown's "Billionaire's Row."

Vinoly has plenty of 'tall' buildings in Manhattan.
Also it's Rafael not Raphael.
