I like this building but also don't like the fact that there are 5 or so others right next to it of identical height.

I mean, they can probably wait as long as they want. I don't know of anyone pressuring them, is there?

Also I don't see a problem with the buildings of identical height.

There is no deadline, but construction permits often have to be renewed. I’m sure they would like a paying tenant as soon as possible.

It also looks like certification for the railyards transfer isn’t complete. That’s likely why we only have the diagram for a 14-story building.

I guess the term would be "negative contrast".

JMKeynes · #**1044** Posted **Apr 26, 2022, 1:44 PM**

I think that this is a pretty nice tower.

NYguy · #**1045** Posted **Apr 26, 2022, 1:57 PM**

That’s not the best rendering, but of course midtown renderings always showcase the ESB. You don’t get more NY than that. The Statue of Liberty woyld be in there if it made sense.

But a better sense of the tower comes with the model.

It's an attractive tower. Elegant and restrained.

Boston Properties has extremely deep pockets. Would be nice if they just finished this on spec.

I like this tower. However, I'd rather not see this compete for tenants with 175 Park and 350 Park, which I hope that crazy Steve Roth will build despite his delusion that the world wants to flock to the Penn Station area.

The foundation was actually built by the MTA over the 34th Street – Hudson Yards subway station as part of the 7 Subway extension project. A Moinian spokesman stated last year they would build on spec but still haven't touched the site.

When back in the City I'll take pics of that area when going to the Javits Center for a convention and a possible investment opportunity.

*The NYguy posted that a violation may be in place or a certification issue.

Then there's the Affirmation Tower directly next door that everyone is gathered around a table pondering what is it and should we give it the go ahead.

All is quiet. I wonder which will get back to action sooner, this one or 2 WTC...

chris08876 · #**1050** Posted **Mar 28, 2023, 4:37 PM**

Hopefully interest rates go down. Probably what's delaying or shelving a lot of projects at the moment, the tight lending and risk.

That, and I also don’t believe this one will start without a tenant signing. I wonder if the delay will cause them to revert to the mixed-use tower.

What in the world? They built the whole core first without adding floor plates? Is that common in NYC? Never really seen that done before I dont think.

That's a weird angle. It's a weird building. The floorplates have been built out on it but the facade has been slow or stalled. The concrete you see is the back of the building. The rest of the floorplates are facing the other direction.

colemonkee · #**1054** Posted **Mar 29, 2023, 5:57 AM**

The Barclays Headquarters building, or One Churchill Place, in Canary Wharf, London, was built like that, with two separate cores - one secondary core being pencil-thin - rising 32 floors before the steel rose around them. Was quite a sight to watch go up.

There’s a thread for that building.

Developers are betting on the future of NYC with huge new office towers

By Lois Weiss
Published Oct. 27, 2023

Quote:

...A joint project of Joseph Moinian and Boston Properties, 3 Hudson Blvd. is slated to have 1.85 million square feet spread over 56 stories.

The site, on West 34th Street, was held up for a decade as the MTA used it to stage construction of the 7 line extension, which now has entrances at its doorstep.

Trying to guess the market, Moinian was also ready to go with designs for either a residential or office tower. Now, the joint venture with Boston Properties has settled on the office design by FXCollaborative and Gensler.

Deals on office space lure big companies back into NYC’s best towers

.....the 500,000-square-foot-and-up, goliath-sized tenants need years of lead time, especially when considering towers that can’t start financing construction without their lease. “Large occupiers are taking a disciplined and mindful approach, and many will continue to be in the market as they explore strategies to bring people together,” said Savills’ David Goldstein.

One such large law firm, Davis Polk & Wardwell, spent years looking at options with broker Lewis Miller of CBRE, nearly anchoring the proposed 3 Hudson Blvd. in Hudson Yards.

In the end, Scott Rechler’s RXR retained the attorneys at 450 Lexington Ave. where they will expand by 30,000 square feet to occupy 710,000 square feet after a promise of $300 million in capital improvements.

Three Hudson Blvd. — a tower proposed by Joe Moinian and Boston Properties — is looking for an anchor tenant.

The law firm Davis Polk & Wardwell expanded to 710,000 square feet at 450 Lexington Ave.

Not too much of a loss, this tower got cut to 940' and is now a box if I'm not mistaken (last we heard).

Still a nice addition but I wonder if it'll ever happen. Must be a pain to hold onto the site that long and not build anything.

Three Hudson Boulevard Remains Stalled In Hudson Yards, Manhattan

Quote:

Continuing our Turkey Week rundown of on-hold projects in New York City is Three Hudson Boulevard, a planned 56-story office skyscraper in the Hudson Yards district. Designed by FXCollaborative and developed by Boston Properties and The Moinian Group, the $3 billion project was planned to rise 940 feet tall and yield 1.86 million square feet of office space, but has been stalled since early 2020. The property occupies a full city block bound by West 35th Street to the north, West 34th Street to the south, Bella Abzug Park to the east, and Eleventh Avenue to the west.

Recent photos show the reinforced concrete foundations built to street level, with the stunted core walls at the center of the lot enclosed beneath a protective layer of dark wooden boards. Construction fencing remains standing around the property’s perimeter, though all machinery has long since been removed.

No potential resumption date for Three Hudson Boulevard has been announced.
