The real miracle on 34th Street is its retail renaissance

Hudson Yards may be getting the spotlight, but its West 34th Street neighbors are basking in the glow.

“Thirty-fourth Street is well-positioned to be the link between Fifth Avenue, Midtown and Hudson Yards,” says Richard Hodos, vice chairman of CBRE.

Of course, 34th has been a shopping mecca since Macy’s opened at Sixth Avenue in 1902 and the Empire State Building opened on Fifth in 1931. But area megaprojects like Hudson Yards and Manhattan West have given the street a surge of 21st-century adrenaline.

.....Across Herald Square at Macy’s, Kenneth Horn of Alchemy Properties is advising the department store giant on the development of an office tower that could rise 800 feet above the store.

JEMB is reimagining 50 W. 34th St. to create 102,912 square feet of retailer-friendly space with larger store windows, a marquee for signage and 446 feet of frontage wrapping around Herald Square and West 33rd Street.
