JD Carlisle is moving ahead with its plans to build a new residential tower at 15 East 30th Street. Six months after filing permits with the city, the developer has purchased the site for $102 million.

According to the permits, the tower will include 310,000 square feet of residential space, divided into 188 apartments, and 4,090 square-feet of commercial retail space. The plans reveal that the 53-story building will tower 825 feet high, making it the tallest building in the neighborhood.

JD Carlisle’s purchase is yet another example of NoMad’s rapidly expanding residential market. The new building will be in good company, joining already popular buildings such as 400 Park South and Huys, along with the upcoming units at 10 Madison Square West, 281 Fifth Avenue and 212 Fifth Avenue. We are excited for the new residents that these projects will bring, as NoMad continues to grow and thrive as a uniquely balanced live/work neighborhood.
