Demolition Underway at the Future Site of 1865 Broadway


Quote:
Currently shrouded in black, as if mourning its own impending demise, the former headquarters of the American Bible Society is set to come down in the coming months to make way for Avalonbay Communities' 1865 Broadway. The original 12-storey Brutalist tower — designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) and built in 1965 — is set to be replaced by a 32-storey tower from the same firm. Set to rise at the corner of Broadway and West 61st Street in Midtown Manhattan, the new tower is expected to be completed by 2018.
