The Multi-Employer Property Trust announced plans to develop a 35-story, 165-unit apartment building in Manhattan. MEPT has committed over $100 million in equity to build the project. Bentall Kennedy LP, on behalf of MEPT, will work with an experienced project team, including Urban Development Partners as Developer, Lend Lease as General Contractor and SLCE Architects as Project Architect. Located at 309 Fifth Avenue, on the east side of Fifth Avenue between E. 31st and 32nd Streets, the project has a modern, functional and innovative design intended to provide a wide variety of amenities and features for residents. The building will total 122,000 square-feet, including 10,400 square feet of retail space on the street and basement levels. The building will provide 24-hour doorman/concierge services, a well-equipped fitness center, bike storage, a rooftop landscaped terrace, and convenient access to four subway stations and Penn Station. The residential units will feature stainless steel appliances, in-unit stacked washer-dryers, hardwood floors, individually controlled heating and cooling units, and nine-foot ceilings. In addition, many units will have cityscape views, including views of the Empire State Building. In keeping with MEPT's commitment to Responsible Property Investing, 309 Fifth Avenue is designed to achieve U.S. Green Building Council Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design (LEED) Certification. The project will create more than 1,000 green jobs and it will generate over $265 million in economic activity for New York City.
