Construction has topped out on Xadia Hotel, a 42-story hotel tower at 58 West 39th Street in Midtown, Manhattan. Designed by Marin Architects and developed by Wei Hong Hu under the H Hotel LLC, the 475-foot-tall structure will yield 173 guest rooms and amenities including a restaurant, an arcade, and a rooftop bar. The development is located on a narrow interior plot between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, one block south of Bryant Park.

Recent photos show the reinforced concrete superstructure built to its pinnacle since our last update in late April, when work was steadily rising above the dramatic midpoint cantilever. The tower culminates in two setbacks on the western and northern sides of the final stories, and will eventually be capped by a rectangular metal crown that renderings depict illuminating at night. The construction hoist is attached to the center of the northern face of the tower and the eastern wall is left blank. Installation of the glass curtain wall and metal paneling has yet to begin, but could commence in the coming weeks now that the building has topped out.

It remains to be seen whether the crown will retain the design previewed in the renderings, of if modifications have been made to the plans since these illustrations were released at the start of this year.

These renderings show the façade primarily composed of glass, with sections of metal paneling on the lower levels and on the underside of the cantilever.

The nearest subways from the site are the B, D, F, M, and 7 trains at the 42nd Street-Bryant Park station to the north.

58 West 39th Street is scheduled to complete construction around mid-2025.
