Rising 347 feet above its mid-block site, 35XV is a unique, hybrid residential-academic building located in Manhattan?s vibrant Chelsea neighborhood. Utilizing excess development rights from the historic Xavier High School, the 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.
