The building was first proposed in 2012, with designs released to the public then.[4] Plans were later approved in 2014.[5] Construction began in 2017 Advanced by Cauldwell Wingate Company[6][7] and the project received $120 million in construction financing fromBank OZK in September 2017.[8] The building topped out in early 2018[9] and was completed in late 2018, with the first tenants expected to move in to the building in March 2019.[1]

40 Tenth Avenue is Studio Gang's first commission in New York. The building features a chiseled, diamond-shaped curtain wall that was engineered to eliminate shadows cast onto the adjacentHigh Line park.[1] Additionally, the facade allegedly minimized heat gain, reduced glare for drivers on theWest Side Highway, and discouraged migratory birds strikes.[12] The 12-story building includes 20,000 square feet (1,900 m2) of outdoor space and 16 feet (4.9 m) high ceilings.[13]
