At number 21 on our year-end countdown of the tallest buildings under construction in New York is 1710 Broadway, a 633-foot-tall hotel skyscraper in Midtown, Manhattan. Designed by Moss Architects and developed by RIU Hotels and Resorts, the 54-story structure will yield 673 hotel rooms, as well as two 300-seat restaurants and a lounge bar. The 8,848-square-foot development site has 129 feet of frontage at the corner of Broadway and West 54th Street.
The reinforced concrete superstructure has begun to ascend since our last update in late September, when construction had just reached street level. The building has risen to the sixth story, aided in progress by a tower crane along Broadway and a concrete pump at the northern end of the site. YIMBY expects the structure to surpass the podium levels before the end of the year and potentially top out in late 2026.

Above, the tower rises with a series of shallow setbacks across the slender southern profile leading up to a flat roof, and features a contrasting envelope with darker gray paneling. Illuminated RIU signage is shown at the top of the skyscraper.

The property was formerly occupied by a six-story commercial building, as seen in the below Google Street View image from before its demolition in 2024. This structure once housed the offices of disgraced rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs’ company Bad Boy Entertainment.

The nearest subways from the development are the N, Q, R, and W trains at the 57th Street–7th Avenue station to the northeast and the B, D, and E trains at the 7th Avenue station to the south at West 53rd Street.
1710 Broadway’s anticipated completion date is slated for 2027, as noted on site.
