NEW YORK | 1100 6th Ave | FT | FLOORS (Recladding)
A redevelopment of the HBO headquarters building...
http://rew-online.com/2017/03/07/bro...-the-americas/ Brookfield, Swig plan 386,000 s/f office, retail tower at 1100 Ave. of the Americas BY CHRISTIAN BRAZIL BAUTISTA MARCH 7, 2017 Quote:

Good riddance. The current building is awful, especially considering its location. I would love to see a tear down, but I imagine that's unlikely.

With Brookfield making big inroads into the Manhattan market I am sure they will build something impressive. Bryant Park is after all becoming very sought after real estate. |
Unless I'm mistaken this only has an additional 60k s/f of development rights, which is crazy given its location.
|
There's also the issue of the plaza on 43rd Street. I imagine those air rights were used up.

Space is already spoken for before the renovation...

Too bad it couldn't be redeveloped into a proper tower - it's in too good a location to be a boring, low rise box.

We'll see what this "redesign" brings us. |
i could understand remaking the inside, but unless they rebuild it as a tower, any redesign of the outside is worrisome. its just fine as it is and a rather pleasant sight from bryant park. it unobtrusively rings itself with shops rather well.
|
It's air rights are all used up. But this one could use an update. A stronger embrace of the Grace building plaza would be nice.

I already know what they’ll do and it will be similar to what was done on the Hippodrome building on the next block up. They’ll remove the reflective 80’s style glass and put on the more contemporary clearer glass. The ground floor will also be updated but that’ll be about it. |
It’s interesting how BOA had a chance to take all the space in OBP when it was being built but elected not to and now they run out of space there and have to rent more space in another building across the street.
|
Oh and because it will be a bank occupying the new space, expect to see bollards go up around this building as well to prevent terror attacks.

For years after the deal, the bulk of Merrill operations were still based in the WFC … they've been gradually migrating headcount up to Bryant Park. |

See REX's Design for Overhaul of 1100 Sixth Avenue
|
Well hot damn. Based on the WR Grace building next door (which is 630 feet) this looks to be about 650. Nice
|
The design sucks.
|
Huge improvement for this site. I always disliked the HBO HQ bldg.
|
For a sec I thought they were talking about 1095 that MdeAS just reskinned like 10 years ago. I was like whaaaaat?
