Hopefully 11th Ave's 6 lanes will be cut down to 4 with bike lanes and a center median lined with trees. I'm sure Related would chip in.

I agree. 10th and 11th need massive road diets. Three lanes should suffice.

They're not focused on anything like that. That stretch of 11th Avenue isn't a particularly heavily pedestrian circulated area. A bike lane, maybe. I don't see a median in the future here.







You can see the bike land on 10th here...

NY Guy (or any architects/engineers):

Could Related build this tower by 2032 for SG?

I'm sure they could. But options already further along like 15 Penn, 2 WTC, or even 3 Hudson should be better options in that short term. But they would probably like to stay in the Park Avenue area. Who knows.

Isn’t the HYII tower basically ready to go once there’s a tenant or do they have to excavate? I’m not sure how it works at that site.

It seems that BP’s site is the one that’s most ready to go, but if SG is the tenant, six years seems to be sufficient time.

They're waiting on final, official sign off on the financing for the deck. That's a formality, but hasn't happened yet, isn't schedule for this month, and they only meet every other month. What follows then is the ordinary mobilization of work and materials.

Thanks. I think you’ve said that the deck and residential towers will start regardless of when an office tenant is secured. Do you think that the deck will start this year?

Don't know.

11th ave will get calmed if and when the western yards deck ever goes up.

don’t hold your breath.

[ssh]

It will, I don't think you've been following recent developments.

i know the pilot tax funding plan for the deck was approved last summer, but devil is in the details, including the gateway construction.

Gateway is moving forward (to which NJ Transhit just shockingly disclosed that service will be reduced to HALF for a month starting mid-February!)

The plan for the western yards we already have. What we don't have are renderings and definitive height figures. Which itself is fine, considering the plan itself is new.

[ChiND]

More news about SG.

I hope that they anchor a new tower here.

Trump administration blocks funding for public broadcasting, rail projects

The Trump administration fended off last-minute Democratic efforts to include funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and to restart federal money for rail projects — including the Gateway Tunnel — in a four-bill spending package the House takes up this week, two senior administration officials told Semafor.

The administration also kept out restrictions on interior immigration enforcement and federal layoffs, slashed foreign aid and preserved the ability to reorganize the Education Department.

Democrats believe they got as good a deal as possible on accountability for ICE and research and health care funding. The spin war matters: If Congress is going to avoid a shutdown, each side needs to feel like they won something. The Trump officials insisted their rescissions and threats of spending impoundment motivated Congress to move, and it’s hard to argue with that.

Gateway Tunnel is already fully funded. Just noise from a toddler.

[NYguy]

Just more noise as usual. As long as work continues, that’s all that really matters.


https://www.njspotlightnews.org/2025...unnel-project/

…..an audit last week by the inspector general for Amtrak gave a generally clean bill for the multi-billion Hudson Tunnel project, even as President Donald Trump threatened to end its federal funding.

The audit described “notable progress” in the Hudson Tunnel Project, a $16 billion effort to build a new passenger rail tunnel beneath the Hudson River and repair a separate tunnel, despite Trump’s claim he “terminated” it.

”We found that Amtrak has made notable progress meeting its near-term obligations for the Hudson Tunnel Project, but the company could reduce its risks and help improve overall project performance by clarifying its role with external partners, engaging all relevant internal stakeholders, and strengthening its document management system,” the inspector general said in a statement.

The Hudson Tunnel Project specifically is a two-tube effort with two halves: a new tunnel, estimated to be done in 2035, and rehabilitation for an existing tunnel, expected by 2038.

The first of two mammoth boring machines – giant drills to dig the tunnels – is set to arrive in January. Drilling will commence in the Palisades, below which the machines — 28 feet wide, 500 feet long and 1,700 tons apiece — will gnaw through sub-surface rock and earth.

In either case, the implications have more to do with Penn Station than it does with the platform construction here.

Seeing Related (and others) opt for as much office space as they can build, I would expect that they would maximize the size of the office building here, which could be cut into with either a mixed-use or stand alone hotel component. It would stand just west of 35 Hudson Yards. Can't wait for the details.

Are there height limits to it though? I wouldn’t want an 1,100’ tall 3m sf tower.
