<\/a><\/p>\nRendering: Cetra\/Ruddy<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n We spy new renderings of a 59-story mixed-use tower by Cetra\/Ruddy in the Theater District.<\/p>\n According to Cetra\/Ruddy’s site<\/a>, the development will measure about 468,300 square feet, with approximately 426 luxury studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. One lucky penthouse will boast four bedrooms and “uniquely expansive views over Central Park.”<\/p>\n The three-story base will contain luxury retail, and the two stories above that will have 30,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities for residents.<\/p>\n There will also be underground valet parking and a rooftop veranda with outdoor pool and lounge overlooking Central Park to the north and Midtown to the south. The building has a subtle ripply lattice effect going on; see more renderings in detail here<\/a>.<\/p>\n So where is this mystery building? We have a wild hunch that it could be the former Roseland Ballroom site at 239 West 52nd Street. Last November, the New York Post<\/a> reported that Larry Ginsberg’s Algin Management tapped CetraRuddy to design a “new 50-plus-story building of roughly 450,000 square feet, with retail at its base.”<\/p>\n The low-slung music venue closed with a performance by Lady Gaga in March. In 1999, the building’s owners planned to shutter the place and develop a 42-story building designed by Shuman Lichtenstein & Claman, but that proposal fell through.<\/p>\n
