It was built in 1930–1 as a joint venture of the Starrett real-estate interests and the Lehigh Valley Railroad on a lot where the railroad had its previous freight terminal, and was designed by the firm of (Russell G.) Cory & (Walter M.) Cory, with Yasuo Matsui the associate architect and the firm of Purdy & Henderson the consulting, structural engineers.[2][3] DescriptionThe building features large setbacks, polygonal corners, and alternating bands of steel strip windows, brickwork and concrete floorplates,[2][3] creating a striking effect described by architectural critic Lewis Mumford in 1931: "the contrast between the long, continuous red-brick bands and the green-framed windows, with sapphire reflections or depths, is as sound a use of color as one can see about the city."[4] The modernity of the building's design made it one of the few American structures not designed by a major architect cited in the 1932 "Modern Architecture: International Exhibition" show of the Museum of Modern Art,[2][1] – whence derives the name of the International Style of architecture.[5] Like the Terminal Warehouse Central Stores Building on the next block uptown, trains could be driven directly into the ground floor of the building, which included not only a rail yard, but also loading and unloading facilities for trucks, warehouse areas for storage, repackaging, redistribution, and manufacturing facilities as well as areas to display goods.[6] The office section is above the north facade.[3] The structural requirements for the building, which has {{convert|26|e6cuft|m3}} of space, {{convert|1.8|e6sqft|m2}} of which is rentable, necessitated innovative interior engineering.[1] During construction, the geology of the site forced a change from the original plan of a uniform 15-story building to the current layout of a 19-story section in the middle, flanked by 9-story wing on the west, and an eastern one of 18 stories.[1] HistoryThe building was completed in 1931 by the Starrett Corporation and the Lehigh Valley Railroad, on the site of a former freight terminal for the latter. When William A. Starrett died in 1932, the Lehigh Valley Railroad bought the building outright, but by 1933 it was a losing proposition, with a net loss that year of $300,000.[4] A number of factors contributed to the building not being an immediate financial success. The city's construction boom of the 1920s came to a stop with the start of the Great Depression and there was less demand for the rentable space in the building; the cost of construction was more than expected, due to changes in the foundation necessitated by differing level of bedrock across the building's footprint; and competition from another terminal with considerably cheaper rates announced to be built by the Port Authority – 111 Eighth Avenue, built in 1932 – depressed the buyer's market further, as they waited for the new building instead of renting from Starrett–Lehigh.[1] The Lehigh Valley Railroad disassociated itself from the building in 1944,[7] and the rail lines were removed in 1966.[4] By 1998, it was owned by the Helmsley real estate concern.[4] The Starrett–Lehigh Building was named a New York City landmark in 1986,[8] and is part of the West Chelsea Historic District, designated in 2008.[7] In April 2011, Shorenstein Properties of San Francisco, who owned the building, sold it to RXR Realty for $900 million.[9] TenantsAmong the tenants in the building are the New York investigation arm of ICE, New York City's Premier Photography Studio Canoe Studios, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia,[9] Diller Scofidio + Renfro, the Mcgarrybowen advertising agency, Club Monaco US of Ralph Lauren Corporation and Tommy Hilfiger USA, the building's largest tenant,[10] Scholastic Corporation[11] and Vanessa Deleon.
