50 West Street’s Pedestrian Improvements Nearing Completion

8:00 am on November 13, 2017 By Michael Young

Among the new residential towers in Lower Manhattan, 50 West Street has been one of the longest in the making, with plans for the Helmut Jahn-designed project initially conceived prior to the Great Recession. YIMBY most recently featured renderings of an adjacent pedestrian bridge in August of 2016, as well as an update on the almost-complete tower in February of this year. While the interiors of the skyscraper have since been finished, progress continues on the adjacent ground-level work, including the West Thames Street Pedestrian Bridge and a public plaza, both of which will improve the area’s walkability tremendously.

Last week, YIMBY featured an update on 606 Broadway, on West Houston Street. A few blocks east, an even larger building is rising on a slightly less irregularly-shaped lot, at 300 Lafayette Street, for which we have the latest images courtesy of Tectonic.

125 Greenwich Street, Rendering by March

New Renderings Surface for 125 Greenwich Street’s Final Design

8:00 am on November 9, 2017 By Nikolai Fedak

Last week, YIMBY reported on construction accelerating at 125 Greenwich Street, located kitty-corner from the World Trade Center site, in the heart of the Financial District. Today, we have another set of fresh renderings for the imminently 912-foot-tall tower, thanks to Bizzi & Partners, one of its developers. While it won’t stand anywhere near heights that were initially expected, it will still make quite an impact on the Downtown skyline.

Morris Adjmi-Designed 363 Lafayette Street Tops Out, East Village, Manhattan

6:00 am on November 8, 2017 By Andrew Nelson

Construction of the ten-story-tall office building at 363 Lafayette Street has topped out, with façade installation and interior work remaining. Today, we have images of the progress by Tectonic, revealing the concrete frame. YIMBY’s last report on the site revealed a redesign pushed by the Landmarks Preservation Commission, removing double-height sectioning from the original plans, and increasing the visibility of the black crossbeams, which simplified the façade.

Distinctive New Commercial-Retail Building Tops Out at 606 Broadway, SoHo

7:30 am on November 7, 2017 By Andrew Nelson

Construction is moving along quickly on the triangular site at 606 Broadway, which is distinct for two reasons. The first is the unusual shape for a six-story commercial building. The second is that new non-residential buildings aren’t too common for Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood due to landmark restrictions and generally astronomical property values, and this building is going to be entirely commercial. Retail will populate the cellar, first floor, and second, while offices will occupy floors three through six.

Property Markets Group’s 111 Leroy Street Tops Out, West Village, Manhattan

7:30 am on November 6, 2017 By Andrew Nelson

At 111 Leroy Street, in the West Village, construction has been underway since YIMBY published images of the lot completely cleared, back in January. Now, Tectonic has fresh photos revealing significant progress. The project consists of the major ten-story, nine-unit building at 111 Leroy Street, with five single-family townhouses at 115, 117, 119, 121 Leroy Street, and 621 Greenwich Street.

Viñoly-Designed 125 Greenwich Street Begins Rapid Climb Towards 912-Foot Pinnacle, Financial District

8:00 am on November 3, 2017 By Nikolai Fedak

Earlier this week, Tectonic sent YIMBY the latest photos of progress at 111 Murray Street, where glass has now reached the tower’s crown. But as construction wraps on one skyscraper, it is accelerating rapidly at another to the southeast, at 125 Greenwich Street, where formwork is now climbing at over one floor per week. The Rafael Viñoly-designed building will eventually stand 72 floors and 912 feet to its rooftop.

Kohn Pedersen Fox’s 111 Murray Street Gets Its Glassy Crown, Tribeca

8:00 am on October 31, 2017 By Nikolai Fedak

YIMBY has been reporting on 111 Murray Street for several years at this point, and after breaking ground in July of 2015, it was at its fifteenth floor at this time last year. By August, it had topped-out, and glass had climbed over halfway up the exterior. Now, almost three months later, the crown is falling into place, and the 58-story and 800-foot-tall tower appears to be on track for an expected 2018 completion, as seen in the latest photographs from Tectonic.

Reveal for Robert A.M. Stern-Designed Tower Planned for 14 Fifth Avenue, Greenwich Village

8:00 am on October 27, 2017 By Nikolai Fedak

The blocks of Greenwich Village are perhaps the most difficult spot for new development in all of New York City, but according to a tipster, that hasn’t gotten in the way of Madison Realty Capital’s plans to put a new tower at 14 Fifth Avenue, between West 8th and West 9th Streets. Plans have been created for the site by Robert A.M. Stern Architects, and while they have yet to receive approval from the Landmarks Preservation Commission, the new building would be both prominent, and attractive.

Leasing Begins for Essex Crossing’s Commercial Space, Lower East Side

7:30 am on October 24, 2017 By Andrew Nelson

Delancey Street Associates has launched leasing for 350,000 square feet of office space in Essex Crossing. This will be the first significant block of Class-A office space to come to Manhattan’s Lower East Side, and the developers hope the quasi-historic surrounds and combination of new and existing retail will be enough to lure tenants.
