Extell Development and the Carlyle Group filed plans for the latest addition to Riverside Center: a 24-story residential property at 633 West 59th Street.

The building will have a total of 244 units, according to a permit application filed with the city’s Department of Buildings Wednesday. The filings show a pool on the cellar level, as well as ground-floor retail that will have a café. In all, the residential portion will span 326,189 square feet, with another 2,110 square feet to be used as a community facility and a 1,844-square-foot commercial space.

Extell did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

It is slated to include 2,500 residential units, 140,000 square feet of retail space, an elementary school, a 250-room Hotel And A Public Plaza.

The 59th Street building would be neighbors with Elad Group and Silverstein Properties’ 42-story 1 West End Avenue, which has 246 apartments.

In April, Extell and Carlyle filed plans for a 36-story, 288-unit residential tower at 10 Lincoln Square, at the corner of West 59th Street and 12th Avenue.

That month, Boston-based GID Development Group acquired a portion of the Riverside Center project for $410.8 million. GID purchased 40 Riverside Boulevard, one of five buildings in the project.
