New York Projects & Construction


NYC Midtown Skyline by Manish Reddy, on Flickr


Ok so I decided to do this NYC thread.

Unfortunately for NYC, a city of skyscrapers, a lots of zonings, construction costs and NIMBY's makes it impossible to built too tall in the city. But somehow something tall gets built. And that is all good. Keep in mind that most of the construction boom in the city are conversions from existing buildings like Offices, Hotels and Rental buildings to Condominiums apartments and there is alot of under 12 floors. So I wont post anything below 12 floors here. It is too much work to keep track. I also can't find a few renderings for somewhat tall buildings under construction yet.

If anybody thinks I got the hight in feet or the floors of a building wrong or if I missed a building please let me know. If you have a rendering for a building that I don't have please let me know. I will also try to store renderings in my photo service so I can have easy access for posting them. Hope nobody minds.

I also have not listed the proposing buldings and their renderings yet. But I will do that another time. This has been alot of work and time consuming.

I am posting based on number of floors as oppose to height. Much easier for me. But there are some towers with lesser floors but are much heigher in feet. So keep that in mind.


Hopefully I did this one right and I hope you enjoy it. ;)

More of the facade on the Walker Tower has slowly been revealed over the past few weeks. It really looks incredible, my photos don't do it justice.





Love to see that crappy red and white brick building in the foreground get developed. Nevertheless the Walker Tower is looking very Gotham in the background.

56 Leonard slowly progresses. Hopefully this building is worth the wait!



(poor photo by me)
this is very complicated tower from structural point of view, so it will some time.

Related Companies Commissions Zaha Hadid Architects To Design Boutique Residential Condominium On The High Line At 520 West 28th Street

Development Marks First Project in New York City for Internationally Acclaimed UK Architect

http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/related-companies-commissions-zaha-hadid-architects-to-design-boutique-residential-condominium-on-the-high-line-at-520-west-28th-street-215513441.html

-- Related Companies, New York's premier residential developer, today announced that it has commissioned world renowned Zaha Hadid Architects to design a boutique condominium adjacent to the High Line at 520 West 28th Street in Chelsea just south of Hudson Yards. The 11-story residential development will mark Hadid's first commission in New York City, leaving an indelible mark on the High Line's architecture map and continuing Related's storied history of partnering with world-class architects and designers.
The 11-story development will feature approximately 37 residences of up to 5,500 square feet, focusing on expansive, gracious layouts with 11-foot ceilings, thoughtful technological integration and state-of-the-art finishes and features. Designed with multiple elevator cores, a majority of the residences will have a private vestibule and entrance that adds to the intimacy of the building.

Residents of 520 West 28th Street can enjoy the High Line while maintaining privacy and exclusivity. The double-height entrance lobby offers glimpses beyond to the residents' communal spaces and an outdoor garden. The generous terraces and courtyard further enhance the residential experience and a substantial roof terrace, indoor pool and spa, entertainment space and playrooms give even greater opportunities to relax and entertain. These offerings will be part of a rich services and amenities program befitting the discerning luxury buyer to which the property will appeal.

In addition to the enchanting High Line park adjacent to the building, the property will benefit from exciting nearby additions, including Avenues: The World School, and numerous hot new restaurants. The site will also hold an important place within Related's footprint in this valuable neighborhood – the company is soon launching a new luxury rental property at 30th Street and 10th Avenue as well as the much anticipated Hudson Yards project. This dramatic 26-acre mixed-use development two blocks to the north will include residential, office, retail, parks, open space, culture and entertainment. The first tower, the South Tower, will open in 2015.
Related is currently developing several notable residential projects in New York City including: 205 East 92nd Street in collaboration with Handel Architects; 456 Washington Street in collaboration with BKSK Architects; 480 Main Street in collaboration with Handel Architects; 500 West 30th Street in collaboration with Robert A.M. Stern Architects; 555 West 30th Street in collaboration with Diller Scofidio + Renfro and Rockwell Group; Hunter's Point South in collaboration with SHoP Architects; and One Madison.

I wonder if there is an equivalent neighborhood in any city in the world that has as much new, high design as the High Line. Quite a remarkable development.

Zaha's building is so terrific. And I'm glad she went a slightly more subdued route than the carnival of curves she brings to some of her other projects (I understand that partly due to the constraints of the lot). It's unique enough to be unquestionably her, and yet not so space age that it's unrecognizable as a condo building.

Some strong influences of Streamline and even a bit of Googie; but the execution and the materials are all fresh. Modern (capital M) and modern (lower-case) in perfect harmony.

Amazing, this is so beautiful. I love all the buildings near highline, but this is the best :) :cheers: :nuts: :banana: :shocked:
I love it. The High Line area has some stunning structures, such as:

IA.C. HQ
Nouvell's 100 11th Ave
HL 23
The new torqued tower rising on Washington Ave
Jeanine Gang's new Solar Tower which will be built
Piano's new Whitney
New office tower at the Prince Lumber site.

Not to forget Chelsea Modern, Shigeru Ban masterpiece and not so talked about Metal Shutter House, the HL23 like building on 25th street (forgot the exact address). This is one of the most stunning places to walk around and see great architecture anywhere in the world. I'm glad Zaha Hadid is joining the fun. I was actually getting worried because of those few duds going up in the area lately (namingly Avalon Chelsea etc)
