262 FIFTH AVENUE · NEW YORK, UNITED STATES
NEW CONSTRUCTION
262 Fifth Avenue will become one of our most iconic projects worldwide. Standing almost 900 feet tall, this luxury condominium in Manhattan’s NoMad neighborhood is preparing for the installation of a 50,000 sqf photovoltaic glass façade, which will cover the entire core walls of the tower from top to bottom. In partnership with Gualini, this energy-generating façade system is Class A fire-rated and both UL and NFPA 285 approved.
Onyx Solar has already completed most of the PV glass fabrication, which will soon become an integral part of the building’s exterior.
Installations like this in NYC contribute threefold by facilitating compliance with Local Laws 92, 94, and 97, unlocking valuable tax credits, and adding a sustainable, innovative character to the building design.
With over 15 years of experience in the U.S. market, Onyx Solar is honored to lead this emblematic project in NYC’s complex construction landscape. We’re deeply grateful to Five Points Development, Front, Meganom, and SLCE for their vision of sustainability, and to CM&A, Gualini, and PGNY for their collaboration.
