Dextall, a leading provider of prefabricated exterior wall systems, has announced the installation of NYC's first prefab bullnose façade at the 38 East 35th Street luxury residential condominium tower in Midtown Manhattan. The project features Dextall's custom aluminum bullnose extrusion system, which allows for seamless architectural continuity across panel-to-panel transitions and enhanced tolerance control for luxury-grade exterior detailing.

Why it matters

As New York and other high-density markets continue pushing for schedule certainty, quality assurance, and smarter construction delivery, 38 East 35th provides a clear signal that prefabrication can elevate design without compromising the architect's intent. This project showcases how prefabricated systems can help project teams enclose buildings faster with consistent quality and controlled execution.

The details

The bullnoses are engineered to align and run continuously across panel joints, creating a visually uninterrupted vertical rhythm—a detail that is traditionally difficult to execute at scale with conventional site-built methods. This project also marks Dextall's first integration of porcelain tile finishes within factory-assembled panels, selected for their durability, aesthetics, and performance.

  • Installation is now underway at 38 East 35th Street in Murray Hill, Midtown Manhattan.
