NYC Halts Construction at SL Green's 750 Third Ave Conversion Amid Citywide Sweep
SLG sits 55% above its 52-week low of $34.77.
Summary
City officials issued a partial stop-work order at SL Green's 750 Third Avenue office-to-residential conversion after inspectors found steel columns reinforced without approved plans. This is the third Manhattan conversion project halted since the Pfizer building near-collapse triggered a citywide investigation. SL Green says there are no structural issues and expects the 2029 completion timeline to hold, but the order adds regulatory risk and potential delays. The project is a key part of SL Green's portfolio repositioning, and any prolonged stoppage could impact its conversion pipeline and investor confidence. Watch for updates on the city's review and whether similar orders spread to other SL Green sites.
