Soon enough.

Also at SSP it was leaked that a new DOB was filed stating 902' (275m) and 60 floors.

DOB filings don't often indicate the total height. The initial filings, as earlier posted, reported a height of 849'. The official web page of Manhattan West and the CTBUH list the height at 935', so that figure is the most substantiated.

Brookfield Properties is planning a $2 billion office tower in Hudson Yards without the requisite lease commitment from an office tenant.

The $7.2 billion public company and its financial partner in the development, the Qatari Investment Authority, are moving forward with 2 Manhattan West, a 62-story, 1.95 million square-foot glass tower designed by the architecture firm SOM, on speculation. The developer is betting that tenants will lease up a substantial portion—or all—of the spire before it is complete in 2022.

I hope this will halt construction over at 3 Hudson Boulevard and force them to rethink the redesign. Brookfield has been far more successful at baiting tenants.

Brookfield to build West Side tower without committed tenant

The tech giant has been in talks with owners of two shiny new skyscrapers located just one block west of Penn Station — the newly built One Manhattan West and its soon-to-be sister project, Two Manhattan West, sources tell The Post.

The online retailer is seeking “at least 100,000 square feet or much more” — just to start, one well-placed source said.

Amazon, which already has 5,000 workers in NYC, had been “seriously” looking at Two Manhattan West prior to choosing Long Island City in November, a second source said. “That interest has returned over the last few weeks,” the source added.

At Two Manhattan West, Amazon is eyeing space at the top of the tower, sources said. The only issue is that the building, to be located on 31st Street and 9th Avenue, won’t be ready for tenants until 2022.

One Manhattan West, by contrast, will be ready for tenants to move in this fall, including a 250,000-square-foot space in the middle of the 67-story tower. The 250,000-square-foot space won’t be available long-term, but could satisfy Amazon’s space needs until Two Manhattan is ready, sources said.

Amazon also is considering space in the US Post Office building across the street, known as the James A. Farley building — a Vornado development that will boast office space across five levels and will be ready for tenants next May, sources said

The developer is looking for a $1.4 billion construction loan to build Two Manhattan West.

After receiving interest from Amazon for a potential 100,000-square-foot space in the building, Brookfield is seeking nearly $80 million in real estate tax exemptions, The Real Deal reported Tuesday.
