LUXURY HOTEL TO RISE ON 57TH ST.



December 2, 2008

"Carnegie 57"

A 1,000 foot-tall hotel and condo tower is coming to Extell's West 57th Street development site that's now a giant hole in the ground.

That's according to the company hired to provide "physical and electronic security" for Gary Barnett's project. Aren't security firms supposed to keep secrets secure?

Louisville, Ky.-based Aegis Security Design claims the tower diagonally across from Carnegie Hall will house a "5-star" Park Hyatt Hotel, stores and luxury condos.

Extell hired Aegis to provide security-related services for the project that will run from 151-161 W. 57th St., on a site that extends all the way through to 58th Street.

Extell spokesman George Arzt said yesterday: "No details have been finalized or resolved. Aegis is only a consultant on the project."

But Aegis says it's "contracted with Extell to provide risk assessment, security programming, system design and construction administration services" on 57th Street.

Its Web site says Extell's tower will be LEED-certified and rise to as many as 80 stories. The hotel, stores and a garage will take up 356,467 square feet of a total 882,141 square feet, with condos above the hotel.

The hotel will boast a "spa, pool area, ballroom and meeting rooms," and "the lobby may contain an atrium."


Ever since Barnett started gobbling up land on West 57th and 58th streets between Sixth and Seventh avenues a few years ago, what he'll build has transfixed Midtown-watchers.

The vast site - directly across from Metropolitan Tower and the Russian Tea Room - has been a crater since old buildings were demolished. Last winter, Barnett told us he'd probably do a "5-star" hotel of some sort rising up to 50 stories.

Extell later fell silent. But now, Aegis appears to have let the cat out of the crater.

Sources said Extell is conferring with city agencies - possibly for zoning variances related to air rights purchases, and for landmarks-related approvals. The site is next door to two designated landmarks: the former CAMI Hall at 163-165 W. 57th St. and Alwyn Court on West 58th.

We don't usually reveal how we get our scoops, but this one started with our item last week reporting that Extell had filed with the Buildings De partment to study surrounding foun dations in prep aration for a new building.

Curbed.com picked up the item and ran it with an aerial photo of the pit, which drew an anonymous comment stating that the project would include a Park Hyatt. It didn't take Watergate-style sleuthing to check it out. Aegis officials did not return our calls.

One57 Combats Slow Sales With a $20M Move-In Ready Pad

Sales at Extell's supertall One57 launched in 2011, but to date the building has yet to sell out—a quick perusal of StreetEasy shows that 22 units remain available, with some of those even marketed as rentals. To try and mitigate that dreaded sluggishness, the developer is taking a new tactic: According to the Wall Street Journal, Extell spent approximately $1 million to have interior designer Jennifer Post create a turnkey apartment. Every single detail—from the furniture to the linens to the soap in the bathroom—is already in place, so all a prospective tenant has to do is show up.

After handling sales in-house for much of the past few years, the developer tapped Douglas Elliman and Sotheby's to market some of its apartments, including a $30 million, three-bedroom unit.

But as the luxury condo market softens, it makes sense that developers would try new things to offload their outstanding units—in One57's case, the building is only 80 percent sold, despite its apartments being on the market for four years. But Extell honcho Gary Barnett seems confident that this experiment will pay off, and said that the developer is considering creating more turnkey units in the building. "We think this is really going to spur sales," he told the WSJ.

Not only is the market softening, but the appeal of One57 is waning as taller, better-designed towers are being built along 57th street...

What ever happened to the lighting on the north facing "fan" at the top of the building? Has the idea been scotched?
Looks like it hasn't. This was posted by user "chused" on YimbyForums yesterday:

Did anyone else see this?

Edit: Lol I didn't realize the person asking this question is very much likely the same person who posted to Yimby. So you probably already know the answer :)

Flexible Materials Skyscraper.

Nowadays, the construction of the building needs a lot of time, manpower, and working procedure. A variety of buildings are formed through being assembled with different materials. However, the changeless rigid material has not been able to meet the people’s pursuit of the architectural form, and the complex construction process also limits the development of the building. So we hope to explore a new architectural model to meet people’s pursuit of architectural form while reducing the tedious construction process. Draping – just like putting on clothes for a building, which are tailor made from inside to outside. We hope to find out a new material which can be arbitrarily folded, cut, enclosed, sewed, turned over, and falls into a pattern. Tower just shows such a concept and form. Most of its exterior spread like vertically carpet from its top floor, the local contraction showing a part of the internal details. In addition, its interior is assembled with more detailed small units. This method not only makes the construction of the building more convenient and simple, makes the building repaired easily, but also makes the material easily reused and recycled after the demolition.
As a result, the building will be able to developed more possibilities, the burden that formed for modeling reduced in the aspect of structure, so the method is more convenient for the construction process and for recycling to reuse, which solves the problem that the vast majority of construction waste, and also brings people a new space experience.

It is interesting that that some apartments in this building become cheaper and cheaper. Just look at Apartment 40 F for example:

https://streeteasy.com/building/one57-condominium/40f

You can see that it was listed for $12,500,000 in early 2016
In late 2016 the asking price was $10,995,000.
Than the price dropped further and further to now $7,995,000.

For this price it is already on the market for 11 weeks and still no sale. So it might drop even further.
