Richard Bienenfeld Architects has revealed a collection of new renderings for 840 Lorimer Street, a ten-story development in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, now under review by the Department of City Planning. From local developer Shabsi Parnes, the proposed building would comprise a lower-level retail component, office space, 74 rental apartments, and a parking garage designed to accommodate 30 vehicles.
Work is underway on the re-cladding and renovation of 111 Wall Street, a 25-story commercial building in the Financial District. Designed by STUDIOS Architecture and developed by Wafra Capital Partners and The Nightingale Group, LLC, the project will also refresh the roughly 1.5-million-square-foot structure’s Class A office space, overhaul the infrastructure, expand its lobby, and add amenities designed by URBN Playground. Hunter Roberts Construction Group, LLC is the general contractor and JLL is handling leasing for the property, which is bound by Wall Street and Mannahatta Park to the northeast, Front Street to the northwest, Gouverneur Lane to the southwest, and South Street and the FDR Drive to the southeast. 111 Wall Street’s 21st century makeover is expected to cost $100 million.
Work is nearing completion on Zero Irving, a 21-story mixed-use building at 124 East 14th Street in Union Square. Designed by Davis Brody Bond and developed by RAL Development, as well as financial partners Junius Real Estate Partners and general contractor Suffolk Construction, the 176,000-square-foot edifice will house both affordable and market-rate office space for technology firms with a range of indoor and outdoor amenities. Zero Irving is located along East 14th Street between Broadway to the west and Third Avenue to the east. Leasing is now underway with JLL as the exclusive marketing agent for the property, which is a very short walk to Union Square and the 4, 5, 6, L, N, Q, R, and W trains.
An abstract sculpture from artist Frank Stella is now on display at 7 World Trade Center in the Financial District. Titled “Jasper’s Split Star,” the sculpture is located within the Silverstein Family Park between West Broadway and Greenwich Street, a location that was previously occupied by Jeff Koons’ signature “Balloon Flower (Red).”
Work is nearing completion on Google’s 1.3 million-square-foot headquarters at 550 Washington Street in Hudson Square. Designed by COOKFOX Architects and developed by Oxford Properties, the 232-foot-tall building is the centerpiece of the company’s “Googleplex” master plan that will encompass a grand total of 1.7 million square feet across three separate structures. The other two sites include 315 Hudson Street and 345 Hudson Street. Turner Construction is responsible for building the 12-story project over the brick-clad base that was historically known as St. John’s Terminal. 550 Washington Street spans two full city blocks between West Street, West Houston Street, Washington Street, and the New York Department of Sanitation building.
