NEW YORK | 360 10th Avenue | 1,000 FT | 67 FLOORS

[NYguy]

Here's another one I'm calling, though not confirmed.

From the 111 W 57th thread...

SHoP is working on 4 towers of over 1,000 ft tall, (13:18) though he couldn't go into specifics at this time. He mentions them as:

- 111 w 57th

- the High Line

- Brooklyn

- Lower Manhattan

Hines is good. Not all of their towers are great. I haven't seen them do anything horrible, at least not in Manhattan. They are only advisers on 1 Vanderbilt. I'm more excited that SHoP is involved.

You're all getting to hung up on the costs for some reason. It could be $3B, it could be $1B. That just tells you that it would be a very expensive building. That fact that SHoP is involved should tell you more about potential height. As we discussed earlier, they are working on at least 3 supertall developments in Manhattan.

You also stated that the $3B was a reference to the investment in the Hudson Yards area

This makes me ask the question, what will be so special about this 61 floor Hudson Spire tower to cost $3.3bln or about as much as two 432 Park Ave towers or Hudson Yards two tower+mall complex? I just don't see it.

I would like to see what you have seen, because I haven't seen the tower, and would love to see even a preliminary rendering. But how do you even know how much all of those other towers costs? How are you so certain? The Goldman Sachs is a $2B building. The Freedom Tower at $4B, but that's basically a building within a building.

The only reason we know the cost of the "spire" tower in the first place is because costs had to be reported to the NYCIDA. If you go back and look at that thread, you'll see it was reported as such. As far as the breakdown, if it's not posted there, I'll post it.

l hope something like the GOTHAM GATEWAY SPIRE gets built there.

Brooklyn's getting a supertall? Maybe it's Citypoint 3.

With that price, I suspected it would be, even more when SHoP was brought on. Now it's all but confirmed.

It could be Citypoint 3, but SHoP is already working on nearby 340 Flatbush, so it could easily be that one. As far as the lower Manhattan tower goes, that seems obviously 80 South St since it's being weaved in with South St redevelopment which SHoP is overseeing. But we could be surprised there as well. It could be a while before we see some designs, but I'm interested in seeing how they follow up 111 W 57th, what kind of skyline inspiration they take.

Waiting for some SHoP magic...

Frank McCourt brings in Hines as partner on $3B Tenth Ave. project
SHoP Architects will design 733,000 sf mixed-use building in Hudson Yards area



I hope these guys can build a tower similar to 432 Park Avenue on this site.

^ Well ...

Frank McCourt’s MG Properties has brought in Hines as an equity and development partner on 360 10th Avenue, a $3 billion, 733,000-square-foot mixed-use project on the Far West Side. The developer also announced that SHoP Architects will design the project.

McCourt, the former owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, made his New York real estate debut with the acquisition of the site last year for $167 million, more than three times what seller Sherwood Equities and Long Wharf Real Estate Partners paid in 2011. The deal is one of the biggest bets yet on the Hudson Yards neighborhood.

“We are very pleased to have the world-class team at Hines join us on 360 Tenth,” Drew McCourt, president of MG Properties, said in a statement. “The addition of SHoP’s creativity and innovation is a significant enhancement to the project as we look to blend the residential, retail, and commercial elements into an architecturally-significant addition to the North Chelsea/Hudson Yards neighborhood.”

Vishaan Chakrabarti, a partner at SHoP, said in a statement that the firm hoped to “create a building that evokes the best of historic Chelsea while making a strong contemporary addition to the skyline.”

Hines’ executive Tommy Craig said that the firm welcomed “the opportunity to expand our development work into the heart of Manhattan’s fastest growing new neighborhood.” The Houston-based firm’s other notable projects in New York include a 471,000-square-foot office tower at 7 Bryant Park and the 1,050-foot-tall Jean-Nouvel designed 53W53.

$3 billion is nuts. Even One57 was a little over $1B.

[chris08876]

I think we will get a nice surprise with this one.

Yeah, I don't buy it. $3 billion would make it the most expensive tower in New York. (1WTC initial price was around $2 billion before it went over budget because of delays). Even cost of 30 HY including platform will be less than $3 billion. What makes this tower so special?

[Zapatan]

3 Billion dollars!? Yeesh!

How is it only 733,00 SF?

[Crawford]

Could this tower now be over 1,400 ft?

SHoP Architects report that they have four supertalls in development in Manhattan, with at least two over 1,400 ft. We know one is 111 W.57, and the downtown Brooklyn project is extremely unlikely to reach such heights, IMO.

So the options are either Lower Manhattan and/or Hudson Yards. If it's only one of these two locations above 1,400 ft., I would go with Hudson Yards. The fact that this is a $3 billion project is strongly hinting towards something extremely tall and lavish.

Yes, the price tag on this tower is just enormous. So my guess is this will be ~1,400' and 80 South St ~1,100'.

[NYguy]

^ Well, we've gonna over the various possibilities above, and this one has always seemed a supertall to me on just the price tag alone.

80 South St seems obvious, but if there were any surprises, it would be if it isn't that one Downtown.

The Brooklyn tower will most likely be the one they've been working on.

[Zapatan]

If it really is 733kSF it'll probably be insanely skinny!

[NYguy]

^ That doesn't meany anything. Goldman Sachs and a few others were or are in that range.

The excessive costs here probably have to do with design, which will likely be something extraordinary.

The footprint alone suggests a skinny skyscraper. But 3 quarters of a million sf is decent sized for these type skyscrapers. The Steinway addition (111 W 57) is between 100-200k sf and 432 Park is about 400k sf. They can do a lot with 733k sf.

MG Properties and Hines Team Up on 360 Tenth Avenue; SHoP Selected as Architect

[NYguy]

Used this photo from sky-surreality to mark potential locations of SHoP's 3 extra supertalls in the city...

[NYguy]

Combine one of the hottest firms in New York (SHoP) with two of the hottest development areas (the High Line and Hudson Yards), and what do we get?

I don't know, but can't wait so see.

This is where we will find out...

Olafur Eliasson Wants You to Create a Lego Utopia on the High Line

May 28, 2015

If you can't imagine a better way to spend a spring afternoon than playing with Legos on the High Line, you're in luck—Olafur Eliasson's new interactive installation is sure to unleash the inner child in everyone.

But The Collectivity Project is about more than just play. Eliasson conceived of the project as a way to bring people together and allow them to create a utopian society, if only in miniature form. The idea, which is up until September 30, is at home at the 10th Avenue and West 30th Street section of the High Line, where the sounds of construction buzz in the background.

To kick the project off, High Line Art invited 10 of the city's most prominent architecture firms, including Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Bjarke Ingels Group, Renzo Piano Building Workshop, and SHoP Architects to contribute structures to the model city, which include everything from intricate skyscrapers to a tiny, delicate tree.

The Collectivity Project will be on view on the High Line at 10th Avenue and West 30th Street from May 29–September 30, 2015.
