First Hudson Yards Tower Opens on Manhattan’s Far West Side
New York City, United States – 03 June 2016

The first completed tower in the massive Hudson Yards development in New York has opened its doors, giving fashion brand Coach a new global headquarters at 10 Hudson Yards. Kohn Pederson Fox Associates (KPF) designed the 52-story skyscraper to straddle the top end of the popular High Line on Manhattan's far West Side.

I think Hotel Penn will host the future tallest in time. Will probably be a decade or so, but that location, with its accessibility, location, and current price/sq ft could be a monolith. I don't think 15 Penn Plaza will be built in its current form. Its a vision for now, but Vornado should make that site the future tallest. An office tower that takes the spot light from 1WTC, and breaches the coveted mega tall range. The New ESB of the 21st Century.

I'd rather see space there than in Midtown East. Ideally, the West Side should continue to fill up, the demand will be allocated to the current surplus coming online in the next 5-10 years, and after, as the appetite grows again, make that spot the ideal launching pad for the next boom cycle.



Hotel Penn's time is finite. In time, something will rise there. Question is, on what magnitude? Hopefully Vornado can make it happen. At least that's the dream.

Project: 681 Lexington Avenue

When executives from real-estate investment trust Welltower Inc. and developer Hines began discussing a project to build a senior-housing development, they didn’t imagine the traditional leafy location outside the city. They wanted to build in Manhattan.

Welltower and Hines are targeting an affluent sector of a growing urban aging population, as have other players in the niche development sector. They said they are aiming to fill the gap between the strong demand and limited supply of facilities that offer assisted-living services and care for memory-impaired, particularly in Manhattan.

The joint venture plans a 15-story building at the northeast corner of East 56th Street and Lexington Avenue. The developers, who didn’t disclose total costs for the project, paid $115 million for the parcels that make up the site.

The building will have private apartments, landscaped terraces and an overall design inspired by classic Park Avenue apartment houses. It will be targeted at those with private means to pay.

“This is a place where these people can be reminded of things in their past, potentially by the design of the building and by the location of the building and have a significantly better quality of life,” said Thomas DeRosa, chief executive of Welltower, which has 72 senior housing properties in the tri-state area.

Project: 334 West 36th Street

Holy historic preservation!

Developer Sam Chang has saved my cherished, long-ago, church-office window after all.

Maybe it was divine intervention because Chang, who’s put up dozens of characterless mid-market hotels in Manhattan and has around $1 billion more in new projects in the works, isn’t known to be sentimental about the city’s past.

Yet, he surprisingly spared some of the facade of 344 W. 36th St. — a former Presbyterian church that was the site of my bizarre first city job more than four decades ago.

Although the parish house tower attached to the church has been leveled, it’s coming back — with my precious window.

The brick-faced building was an exquisitely funky performing arts center (think of dancers attempting to pirouette on top of a scaffold) in 1972, where I was an incompetent but ambitious administrative aide.

In a Post column on Jan. 18, 2015, I lamented the planned demolition of the “haunted house” where I’d enjoyed my first dramatic, big-city romance, suffered painful hard knocks and caught century-old silt in my pores.

“Grimy stained glass windows on the third floor belonged to my office,” I wrote. “I look up whenever I go by… I’m going to miss my stained glass window.”

But after Chang’s McSam Hotel Group snatched up the property for $50.8 million, he bowed to pleas to save and restore the brick facade and most of the tower that once housed my grungy office.

A rendering recently unveiled at the construction site reveals the design for the first time. Fronting what Buildings Department filings show will be a 20-story hotel is the restored outer wall of what was originally the church nave.

Construction Update: LIC Skyline

Tallest one u/c (for now) is 42-12 28th Street on the far right.

Almost everything in the pic bar the crappy low rises in the foreground were not here a few years ago. This is like a mini Northern Miami springing up on the banks of the East River.

Project: 22 Chapel Street

Michael Shah’s Delshah Capital and John Carson’s OTL Enterprises plan to construct a 180-unit luxury rental building in Downtown Brooklyn, replacing a longtime drug treatment facility with a new mixed-use building.

Plans call for the construction of a 20-story building at 22 Chapel Street between Jay Street and Flatbush Avenue Extension, according to documents filed Wednesday with the city’s Department of Buildings. The existing two-story brick building is home to the START Treatment & Recovery Centers Inc.

The new building will span 150,431 square feet with more than 15,200 square feet earmarked for a community facility, according to filings. It will also have nearly 2,000 square feet of ground floor retail and 87 parking spots.

According to the filing, the community facility will occupy parts of the cellar, first and second floors. The second floor will also house a lounge, party room, offices, children’s room and gym.

Apartments will occupy floors three through 20, with a pool and lounge on the 15th floor and rooftop terrace.
