New 24-Story Mixed Use Tower Coming To 1841 Broadway On Manhattan’s Upper West Side

Permits have been filed for a 24-story mixed-use building at 1841 Broadway on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Adjacent to Columbus Circle between Broadway and Columbus Avenue, the corner site is situated near major subway hub 59th Street – Columbus Circle, serviced by the 1, A, B, C and D trains. Global Holdings Management Company is developing the tower, and the firm also own 1845 Broadway and 1880 Broadway in the neighborhood.

The concrete building will yield 181,319 square feet, with 161,525 square feet dedicated to residential space. There will be 173 units created, averaging 934 square feet each, most likely condominiums. The 281-foot tall structure will also have 11,741 square feet allotted to commercial space.

Gloria Glas of SLCE Architects is listed as the architect of record.

No demolition permits have been filed as of yet for the 1920’s vintage office building currently on the site. The estimated completion date has not been announced.

I kind of like that building. Wish they would do a facadectomy, like Hearst Tower or several towers in Chicago, and add the additional stories above the original facade.

[JMKeynes]

I’d imagine that No. 1865, which the developer owns, will be incorporated into this project.

[jackster99]

Damnit I like this building. You are sitting eye level with it at the Porterhouse steakhouse in the Time Warner center.

I always thought it felt like classic New York, being in a brand new glass skyscraper with an old classic office building directly across the street from you

[JMKeynes]

I hope that the developer acquires this adjacent piece of junk. He’ll control the whole block!

Demo Permits Filed For 1841 And 1845 Broadway On The Upper West Side

Full demolition permits have been filed for a couple of buildings at 1841 and 1845 Broadway on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Both sites are owned by Global Holdings Management Group, which filed building permits for a 24-story mixed-use building at the 1841 Broadway address last December.

1841 Broadway is located at the corner of West 60th Street, was built in 1924, and has 114,022 square feet across its 12 stories. 1845 Broadway, a four-story commercial structure built in 1910, has 15,068 square feet adjacent to 1841 Broadway. The sites are located steps way from the 59th Street-Columbus Circle subway station, serviced by A, B, C, D, and 1 trains.

Ancora Engineering is listed as the applicant of record.

Demolition Underway At 1841 And 1845 Broadway On The Upper West Side

Demolition is continuing at 1841 and 1845 Broadway on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, where a 24-story mixed-use building is planned to rise. Scaffolding and black netting completely shroud 1841 Broadway, and it appears that the neighboring structure at 1845 Broadway has been partially razed. Both properties are owned by Global Holdings Management Group and Ancora Engineering is listed as the applicant of record on demolition permits, which were filed late last year.

New photographs show the current state of 1841 Broadway, which is located at the corner of West 60th Street and is being prepped for demolition. 1845 Broadway stands immediately to the north and has been dismantled down to the level of the sidewalk scaffolding. It is possible that both structures could reach street level by the end of the year given their relatively small size.

The structure at 1841 Broadway is 96 years old, stands 12 stories, and spans 114,022 square feet. 1845 Broadway is a 110-year-old, four-story commercial building yielding 15,068 square feet. The two sites are located steps to the north of the 59th Street-Columbus Circle subway station, which is serviced by A, B, C, D, and 1 trains. The two-tower Time Warner Center sits to the south, directly across West 60th Street.

It is unclear what the new design will look like or how it will fit into the context of the neighborhood. With a parapet nearly twice the height of the existing 1841 Broadway, the structure will provide occupants unobstructed view of Columbus Circle, Central Park South, and the residential supertalls of Billionaires’ Row.

No start or completion date has been announced for the new development at 1841-1845 Broadway.

Excavation Underway At 1841 Broadway On Manhattan’s Upper West Side

Excavation has begun at 1841 Broadway, the site of a 24-story residential building on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Designed by SLCE Architects and developed by Global Holdings Management Group, the 281-foot-tall building will span 181,319 square feet and yield 173 units as well as 11,741 square feet of commercial space. Pavarini McGovern, LLC is the general contractor for the project, which will rise from a corner site at the intersection of Broadway and West 60th Street, just north of Columbus Circle and the southwestern corner of Central Park.

At the time of our last update in early January, only a few floors of one of the existing structures on the plot remained to be torn down. Now both buildings have been fully razed and excavators are at work digging the foundations. The former 97-year-old 1841 Broadway stood 12 stories tall and measured 114,022 square feet, while the 111-year-old 1845 Broadway was a four-story commercial building totaling 15,068 square feet.


A new preliminary rendering has also been posted on the construction fence that shows a modestly tall superstructure. It’s assumed that the view is looking north at the southern elevation, with the multi-story podium positioned along Broadway. The ground floor seems to have tall glass frontage across the angled eastern profile, and an entrance sitting underneath a canopy along West 60th Street. The main building rises to the west with a uniform grid of square and rectangular windows. A couple setbacks near the parapet could likely make way for outdoor rooftop terrace space.

1841 Broadway is slated to be finished in the fall of 2023.

^that looks...ugly. Hopefully that is not showing some nice details. You would think/hope this would be a very high quality building given the location

Maybe I'm ignorant, but in what world would a developer not try to go really tall here to take advantage of the amazing Park-adjacent location? Does current zoning prevent a 40+ floor tower here?

I believe the developer is from the UK so it could be a matter of resources.

While the zoning is favorable and even take a parcel where there is a ton of potential, sometimes it just comes down to the resources and capabilities of the developer or just risk management on their part that makes it so a tower of "X" size rises. Sometimes "X" is underwhelming, sometimes not.

Financing and capital can be massive laggards or road blocks.

Such a weird place for such an unremarkable building. Bizarre.

[Barney Greengrass]

This is the same block where a deal was done with NYIT and Extell to purchase their "campus" (it's murky and embroiled in lawsuits I believe), that might have an effect on what is being built on this site since I understand Extell is still trying to assemble as much of the eastern end of the block as possible.

[JMKeynes]

I wonder if this piece of junk will come down soon.

Despite being literally across the street from Time Warner Center, this block is in the Special Lincoln Square District (the boundary runs through the center of 60th Street), and as such is subject to height and bulk rules that limit the ability to go tall. These are more commonly known as "bulk packing" where the building must use a certain percentage of its floor area below a certain height, reducing the available floor area to use in a tower. The way other buildings have gotten around this is by including very tall mechanical floors above the base to get more units up higher in the air, but I know there has been some recent movement (spurred by the Extell building and others) that could potentially limit this.

As others have said, some developers also have certain product types in mind or are more averse to the more "out of the box" ideas to get buildings higher. The AvalonBay project just north of here on Broadway is an example of the same zoning utilized for a simple, no gimmicks residential tower that is still beautifully executed.
