Looks like they'll start in the fall as the subway extension might open later during the year. A blogger had lots of pics of the unfinished station.

As NYguy states earlier, the Moinan Group's director development has strong words

Quote:

“It will be tenanted by the end of 2014,” he said. “I’m convinced of that.”

IF that happens and they start in 2H2014, I think the MTA's Site P (the secondary entrance for the #7) will be essentially finished in Apr 2016, with an uncompleted tower above it.

But it does sound like we're entering the home stretch for building a tower on this site, so here's a look back:

I think the surface level of the Girasole site looks essentially as it did in November 2008 when it was the access shaft to construct the station's cavern. The excavation debris & it's holding bin is gone and the cranes are different, but it probably looks very similar to this photo looking NW:

November 2008 MTA photo: "Access shaft constructed at 35th Street and 11th Avenue for excavation of the 34th Street Station cavern."
Note that NYguy used this photo in his Nov 20, '08 post: and that this was during the opening phase of the Troubled Asset Relief program (TARP): The worlds economy had beenn melting down '08...

But what's below the Girasole site is mostly done compared to this March '07 MTA presentation to the HYDC. I don't know who the developer was in '07:

It's very exciting to hear these bullish comments.

Just a concept, but a look at a further redeveloping of the Javits site...

Seems like they've secured a tenant! I'm guessing that this will be U/C quite soon.

Moinian to construct LEED Platinum, 1.8 million s/f tower; Designed by FXFOWLE

Quote:

The Moinian Group unveiled four new renderings for its 1.8 million s/f LEED Platinum tower, located on 11th Ave. between West 34th and West 35th Sts., which is designed by architect Dan Kaplan FAIA of FXFOWLE.The tower will exceed LEED Platinum sustainability standards. Tishman Construction is the lead construction partner on the project.

This new high-performance building will occupy the location in the Far West Side, anchoring the new tree-lined Hudson Blvd. Park. 3 Hudson Blvd. will also provide access to the No. 7 Subway via the MTA's new 34th St. subway station at the building's entrance.

"We are set to deliver a truly spectacular building at 3 Hudson Boulevard — the pinnacle of the new Far West Side," said Joseph Moinian, founder of Moinian. "These new renderings wonderfully present the elegance and sophistication we are bringing to our tenants and the neighborhood."

Excellent! This is a very good looking office building.

Submariner · #**447** Posted **Jan 28, 2014, 11:42 PM**

Great news!

Yes! another supertall!

I wouldn't pop any champagne bottles just yet as this article doesn't say anything that we don't already know. Nowhere in the full article does it indicate a tenant has been signed, though only that there's continued interest by prospects.

Nonetheless, I'm optimistic a tenant will materialize soon.

NYguy · #**450** Posted **Jan 29, 2014, 12:41 PM**

Well, there is no tenant signed yet. It's a rehashing of an earlier release with the renderings.

I'd move this to the "Under Construction" thread!!

I almost hate to see Javitz go, especially now that it's getting a subway stop.

I have to go to a lot of conventions, and this is one of the nicer convention centers since you get so much sunlight in the main hall. The side halls are pretty dank, but that's pretty par for the course in these things.

It's not, and won't be until a tenant is signed.

Don't forget the twitter page either...

Where is the Javitz Center going?

Javits Center expansion revisited

It was nearly two years ago that the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center's future was dangling on the end of a wrecking ball. Now supporters of the facility are floating new plans to expand the 27-year-old building and finally turn it into the destination convention center that the city sorely needs.

The fact that the largest city in the country operates just the 12th-largest convention center is partly the reason Gov. Andrew Cuomo in early 2012 introduced a plan to tear down the cramped facility in favor of a sprawling new center adjacent to a casino in South Ozone Park, Queens. The proposal was quickly abandoned, however, after negotiations broke down with the casino operator, Genting Americas, which would have covered development costs.
