The Silver Towers are twin residential buildings in the Hell's Kitchen (formerly also known as Clinton) neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City.
[2][3] The project includes a 75-foot (23 m) pool, the largest in a New York City residential building, as well as a quarter-acre public park on the west side of the towers.
[4] Larry Silverstein, who developed the buildings, bought the block between 42nd and 41st Streets between 11th and 12th Avenues in 1984 for $20 million.
The block was rezoned in 1989, and One River Place, a 41-story residential high-rise, opened on the west end in 2000.
[6] A few years later, the site was considered as the location for a 1,500-room hotel as part of the plans to expand the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.
