Recommended Viewing Screen: Fullscreen *

* Due to the size of renderings sometimes

=========================================
=========================================

Purpose:

A new, updated thread for 2015 for high rises (13 floors or greater) for NYC and its satellites. NYC is currently experiencing the biggest boom in decades, and we need to document it.

What goes in the thread:

High Rises, generally 12 floors or greater. Structures 120 feet OR greater are high rises.

Format:

Every project should have the name on top, bold, and a rendering that is reasonable size. I know sometimes its difficult to find smaller ones, but something around 1024x768 or 800x600 is appropriate. For sake of neatness. Along with a brief description of the height, floors, features, etc. And in quotes if its from a source. Usually information from other sources without quotes makes it look very sloppy and hard to navigate. Along with proper citing of course.

Search Hints:

1) Use Control + F , then type keyword, and the thread title will appear in this front page.

2) For google, type "project title or key word" + skyscraperpage, and the first search result will be a thread.

1st post update:

1) Added a list from the CTBUH for every complete project, proposed, constriction and on hold in NYC. Range: [98m , 600 m ]

2) Added some extra references for other compilation threads in the nyc metro including jersey city, newark/elizabeth, transit news, supertall thread.

3) Added some more links. Finished with the nyc threads for proposed and approved. Will add contruction threads for non supertalls later on.

Other than that, updates on new projects or construction updates will use the same organization that I have on my mid/low thread.

Help is needed, so feel free to contribute with new updates!!

HIGHRISE SET 2014/15 PART #1:

Note: These are the lesser known highrises, independent of the SSP threads that we have for other skyscrapers/major highrises. All of these are 13 floors or greater. Many of them are unknown, but are rising or are in the pipeline. This will be the first of many highrise sets.

=================================
=================================
=================================

505 West 43rd Street

Quote:

Per the project’s EAS statement, the development will comprise “a new platform above the Amtrak railroad right-of-way and an approximately 181,000 gross square feet (gsf) development (the ‘proposed project’) containing 160,000 gsf of residential uses consisting of approximately 107 residential units (approximately 148,614 square feet of floor area), of which approximately 26 units (or 22,492 square feet) would be permanently affordable, located in two segments.”

In terms of form, “[the] southern segment would rise to a height of 15 stories (154 feet), and the northern segment would rise to heights of 14 and 15 stories (144 feet and 154 feet). The ground floor would contain lobby, accessory recreation space, bike rooms, mechanical space and an accessory parking area containing 23 spaces.”

NEW YORK | 1918 First Avenue | FT | 14 FLOORS

Quote:

Draper Hall, located at 1918 First Avenue, combines new construction with a substantial rehabilitation to provide affordable senior housing in East Harlem. Located between Metropolitan Hospital and the East River, the building is an excellent example of modern, mid-20th century architecture. The slender 14-story white-glazed brick tower, originally built for nurse dormitory residences, sits atop a two-story podium housing that once housed nurse training school. The tower is being expanded to allow for double loaded corridors and 201 gracious, well-lit one-bedroom apartments. A low, blue-glazed brick wall screens a beautiful private garden off First Avenue. Contributing to housing the city’s underserved, the facility will have a new senior center providing on-site services and amenities to residents of Draper Hall and to the surrounding community.

NEW YORK | 351-355 Broadway | FT | 19 FLOORS

Quote:

Toll Brothers City Living closed on an assemblage of two adjacent parcels in Tribeca this week, and is planning to bring 98 condominiums to the site, The Real Deal has learned. The 19-story building at 351-355 Broadway will span 193,000 square feet and sit between Franklin and Leonard Streets, on Tribeca’s eastern edge. The two parcels were purchased from separate owners, though Toll declined to disclose the total acquisition price.

538 West 58th Street

NEW YORK | 15 West 96th Street | FT | 22 FLOORS

Quote:

Sackman Enterprises is the developer, and the building’s total size measures 60,402 square feet. The community facility portion will fill 14,529 square feet while the remainder will be split between 16 condominiums, averaging nearly 3,000 square feet apiece.

That will make the units at 15 West 96th Street some of the largest amongst new developments in New York City, and given the dearth of new product on the Upper West Side, prices will likely be astronomical.
The Upper West Side/Central Park West Historic District stops on the southern side of 96th Street, meaning 15 West 96th Street can proceed as-of-right, another rarity for new projects on the Upper West Side, which has some of the strictest land use rules in Manhattan.

In terms of appearance, the building will be slightly taller than its neighbors, but its envelope and facade should match nicely. The current renderings lack detail on what materials will compose the exterior, but given the product, brick or limestone would seem likely. Balconies round out one corner of the tower component, and their metalwork is nicely complemented by the project’s gridded windows.

NEW YORK | 100 Greenwich Street | 235 FT | 25 FLOORS

Quote:

A few blocks south of the World Trade Center, at 100 Greenwich Street, Sam Chang once had plans to build a 32-story hotel, designed by favorite architect Gene Kaufman.

But the hotelier decided to shift his focus to 99 Washington Street, around the corner, which has since been completed and wears the dubious crown as the world’s tallest Holiday Inn. He sold the 49-foot-wide parcel spanning 98-100 Greenwich in January 2013 for $19 million (a good deal for Chang, given that he picked it in 2006, near the height of the last market cycle, for $15.2 million).

The tower is set to rise 25 stories and 235 feet into the air, and is being developed by Bharat Patel’s Sun Moon New York LLC. It will contain 192 hotel rooms spread over nearly 68,000 square feet of usable commercial space, with eight units on each floor above the ground level (which will also have a restaurant) and an average room size of just over 350 square feet.

Per on-site signage, completion is targeted for spring 2016.

175 West 95th Street

Quote:

ESTIMATED COMPLETION: 2015
STATUS: Selling
SALES STARTED: December 2014

222 East 44th Street

Quote:

Per the DOB, the actual 222 East 44th Street will stand 41 stories and 449 feet tall, with 429 units, twenty percent of which will be affordable. Though no formal completion date has been announced, demolition permits for the existing structures (which also span 212-214 East 44th Street) were approved last July.

20 East End Avenue

Quote:

This new 17-story building, being developed by Corigin Real Estate Group and Florida East Coast Realty, will rise over the rubble of a research building purchased two years ago from the City University of New York for a reported $61.75 million. The prices for 43 units will range from $4.5 million for the smallest apartments, at 2,000 square feet, to $20 million for the penthouses, prices that now sound almost reasonable compared with those commanded by buildings on Central Park South and 57th Street.

NEW YORK | 7-13 West 76th Street | FT | 21 FLOORS

339 Fifth Avenue

Quote:

The nether-regions between Midtown and the booming NoMad corridor have been sprouting large apartment towers in recent years, defined by overtly glassy product like 170 Madison Avenue. But now, on the corner of 33rd Street and Fifth Avenue across from the Empire State Building, a more contextually-minded building may soon rise (full-size rendering at link).

Pi Capital Partners is planning a large residential tower with a formal address at 339 Fifth Avenue, and while no details have been finalized, renderings depict a 24-ish story building that has a decided resemblance to an icon on the edge of Central Park.

The development’s final appearance has not yet been decided, but the location merits design more attractive than the towers that will soon line two corners of the intersection at 33rd and Madison, just one block to the east. And although the current plan for 339 Fifth Avenue clearly draws heavily from 15 Central Park West, it is still far more attractive than nearby projects, which would look more at home in a Sunbelt metropolis.

339 Fifth Avenue would meet the sidewalk on all sides, with slight setbacks after the second floor, and the tower would be whittled further after the sixth level. Above, the massing resembles a scaled-down version of 15 Central Park West, though the crown may be slightly more austere.

Another development may soon rise around the corner at 4 East 34th Street, which has 100,000 square feet of extra air rights. As for Pi Capital’s project, their website describes the current building as “a prime corner, 5-story commercial building with 60,000 square feet buildable before FAR bonuses.”

542 Neptune Avenue

Quote:

Rubin Schron’s Cammeby’s International today filed plans with the city for a 40-story, 544-unit mixed use building on Coney Island.

T-Building

NEW YORK | 711 West End Avenue | FT | 16 FLOORS

Quote:

The owner of 711 West End Avenue, a six-story rental building at 95th Street, plans to build an eight-story, 65-unit addition atop the current structure, and a new website appeared, offering renderings and details about the development. At first read, it seems like the site was created by the developer in an attempt to assuage concerns of the current tenants, but West Side Rag reports that it was actually created by a tenant after a meeting with the developer "to provide a portal for information and updates from the developer." The site details how the new building will be constructed and what improvement current tenants can expect, and it makes a point to say that there will be no "poor door." Kaled Management currently runs the building, and they will be working with developer P2B Ventures. PBDW Architects will design the addition.

NEW YORK | 42-06 27th Street | FT | 18 FLOORS

Quote:

New York Lions Group’s Albert Shirian is planning an 18-story residential tower in Long Island City, according to a new permit application filed with the city today. Shirian’s plans for the site at 42-06 27th Street, right by the Queensboro Plaza subway stop, call for a roughly 90,000-square-foot tower that will house 110 units. The building will include a 8,645-square-foot commercial component, as well as a 55-car parking lot. The developer bought the property in 2005, together with an adjacent lot a year later, for a total of $8 million. NY Lions Group could not immediately be reached on Friday morning.

NEW YORK | 16 Brighton 1st Road | FT | FLOORS

Quote:

In Brooklyn Heights, the issue is a dilapidated, low-rise, 62,000-square-foot building on a prime lot at Cadman Plaza, combining a neighborhood branch and a somewhat orphaned business library. It would make way for a 38-story tower with 132 market-rate apartments

NEW YORK | 450-458 Fulton Street | FT | FLOORS

152 East 87th Street

Quote:

The plan from Allan Garage (a subsidiary of investment research and brokerage Gordon Haskett & Co.) to convert its 152 East 87th Street from a 515-space garage to a 150-space garage with 60 condominium units on top has been approved by the Board of Standards and Appeals, and there's also an initial rendering, via the Daily News. Those 60 units represent a significant decrease from the original permits, which called for 95 apartments. However, the height—19 stories—has remained the same

153 Remsen Street

11 Stone Street

41-20 27th Street | FT | 15 FLOORS

43-22 Queens Street

141 Willoughby Street

NEW YORK | 1050 Sixth Avenue | 283 FT | 24 FLOORS

Quote:

The filings indicate a total scope of 56,784 square feet, to be split between 61 units. That works out to an average of under 1,000 square feet per residence, likely indicating apartments, though with a roof height of 283 feet, average floor heights of 12 feet will yield lofty ceilings.

NEW YORK | 27-01 - 27-07 Jackson Ave | 160 FT | 15 FLOORS

Quote:

27-01 Jackson Avenue: Dutch Kills Associate has filed applications for a 15-story, 88-unit mixed-use building of 72,328 square feet at 27-01 Jackson Avenue, in Long Island City; commercial space will amount to 7,090 square feet. Raymond Chan is designing, and an existing gas station must first be removed.

NEW YORK | 1 Flatbush Avenue | FT | 19 FLOORS

1010 Park Avenue

NEW YORK | 20 South Second Avenue (Library Square) | FT | 17 + 19 FLOORS

Quote:

North of the Bronx, the city of Mount Vernon is in many ways more similar to New York City than to anything else in Westchester County, with its dense housing stock and diverse population of African-Americans, West Indians, West Africans, and Brazilians. And now it might soon be getting some New York-style density, in a new mixed-use development that would include a pair of 17- and 19-story apartment towers.

NEW YORK | 100 Vandam Street | FT | 24 FLOORS

4 West 37th Street

Quote:

A 22-story hotel is coming to the Garment District at West 37th Street. Plans filed with the Department of Buildings last month call for a 198,201-square-foot structure.

State Bank of Texas CEO Chan Patel and his sons, Sushil and Rajan Patel, are developing the site.

Yotel

Quote:

The 14-story hotel, a collaboration between Yotel and Synapse, will be located at 646 Lorimer Street, near Meeker Avenue and the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. The street level of the building will host retail, with a roof garden at the level of the BQE and the hotel rising above that. The top levels of the structure will house six to eight condos with views of the East River and Manhattan.

Quote:

There, Newman Design filed an application for a new 14-story affordable housing project, just west of where Prospect Avenue, Southern Boulevard, and East 149th Street converge, developed in conjunction with the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development. The 225,000-square foot building will be quite hefty, with the square footage of a small skyscraper, but will be arranged with squatter and bulkier massing, filling about half the lot but meeting the sidewalk without any apparent setbacks.

NEW YORK | 219-223 West 77th Street | 185 FT | 18 FLOORS

Quote:

The new property at 219-223 West 77th Street, between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue, is slated to hold 25 apartments and rise 185 feet.

1 Flatbush Avenue | 210 FT | 19 FLOORS

Quote:

It calls for a 19-story, 210-foot residential building of 160,000 square feet of total construction area, with a substantial retail component. The building would contain a bit more than 123,000 square feet of net residential space divided over 157 apartments, for a very rental-sized unit average of under 800 square feet. The developers will set aside 20 percent of its units as below-market housing in exchange for a slight density boost and tax breaks, as part of the city’s inclusionary housing program.

100 University Place’s design has not been revealed, but the 23-story tower will stand 309 feet tall, making an impact on the relatively short neighborhood skyline.

Architect Morris Adjmi has a penchant for charming the Landmarks Preservation Commission. So, while his proposal for two connected structures at West 21st and 22nd streets was not approved the first time it was presented to the Commission back in September, it would not be denied twice. Adjmi took the LPC's advice and narrowed the windows at the 22nd Street base in order to give it a more vertical look and also increased the ratio of metal to stone. "The applicant has [done] everything we asked," commented commissioner Joan Gerber. Commissioner Michael Devonshire remarked that it was "nice to see a building in the hands of a master." The plans were approved unanimously.

Quote:

Now, ODA Architects has revealed a trio of new renderings for the mixed-use, 15-story project it has planned for the Greenwich Village site. Like the rendering that appeared in November, the new renderings are a touch on the tiny side and one appears to be a freshened up version of the one released in the fall.

NEW YORK | 320 West 36th St | 246 FT | 28 FLOORS

Quote:

According to a DOB permit filed on March 14th, 2014, the developer is looking to build a 28-story hotel at 320 West 36th Street. The architect listed in the permit is Stonehill & Taylor, a firm that’s designed several hotels in the past, including The NoMad, the Ace Hotel and the Crosby Street Hotel.

The first permits have been filed for a new 16-story building at 203 West 79th Street; the architect of record is Morris Adjmi, and the project’s developer is Anbau Enterprises.

203 West 79th Street will stand 174 feet to its pinnacle, and the filings indicate the structure will be mixed-use, with an emphasis on ultra-high-end residential. The building will measure 67,265 square feet in total, with 5,088 square feet to be dedicated to retail space; the remainder of the site will be residential.

NEW YORK | 350 West 40th St | 315 FT | 35 FLOORS

Quote:

Per the DOB filings, 350 West 40th Street will stand 35 stories tall, but ceiling heights will be incredibly low, as the tower will only rise 315 feet to its pinnacle. That does make sense given its scale and the size of rooms, which will be tiny; the 177,729 square foot development will be divided between 594 ‘dwelling units,’ aka cabins.

NEW YORK | 405 East 60th St | 162 FT | 16 FLOORS

Quote:

Renderings of the new Ronald McDonald House depict a 16-story structure that will be fairly simple, with aesthetics characterized by large, floor-to-ceiling windows. 405 East 60th Street traversed ULURP early last decade, and the site has all the allowances needed for the new development, though DOB permits were disapproved in 2008. Nevertheless, those documents revealed the new RMH will have slightly over 90,000 square feet of space, with 74 units.

NEW YORK | 81 Fleet Place | 156 FT | 15 FLOORS

An on-site rendering of the project reveals a fairly typical design, and the facade will be a mix of brick and glass. Permits indicate the development’s first floor will be dedicated to retail, with 13,000 square feet of space; after a setback, the residential portion rises above, and 81 Fleet Place will have a total of 205 units, spanning 159,785 square feet.

Quote:

Fresh permits are up for a 20-story building at 221 West 29th Street, revealing a change of plans; the latest round of filings indicate that the tower will stand 20 floors. Previously, BuzzBuzzHome reported that the project would only rise 15 stories, per a plan exam from January. The architect of record is Goldstein Hill & West, while Ironstate is developing the site.

NEW YORK | 25 West 38th St | 254 FT | 26 FLOORS

The 27-story Aloft New York Midtown Hotel at 25 W. 38th St., by Starwood Hotels, will open in the fall of 2016 and will also include a restaurant and lounge, officials announced this week while releasing new renderings of the project.

NEW YORK | 68 Charlton St | FT | 22 FLOORS

Quote:

Extell Development's plans for 68 Charlton Street have changed once again. The development, which was originally supposed to be a 35-story hotel, was later changed to a 13-story condo tower. Now Extell has announced that they will instead build a 22-story residential building with 116 total units—91 market-rate co-ops and 25 affordable apartments, the Villager reports.

ummm wow... What a herculean effort on your part!.. Thank you so much for this!

The amount of projects within just the city limits is just absolutely insane! So much so that no one person can truly keep track of them all. Many here that I'm seeing for the first time.

chris08876 · #15 Posted **Mar 9, 2015, 1:26 PM**

Thread Update:

1) For the 2014/15 cycle, the highrise sets (1-5) covered most of the unknown highrises.

These sets, along with the SSP projects in the first post account for a bulk of the highrise/skyscraper projects for 2014-15.

2) The thread will now shift to a similar fashion as the mid rise thread with updates on new developments and news.

3) Still need to add the construction project links. But I'd say the front page or 1st post directory is about 90% complete. Remember to use it as its way quicker than searching for a thread the old fashion way. Control + F, keyword, enter, and it will appear.

Contributions:

Feel free now that the sets are complete to post new projects or general highrise news. For new projects, please include a title for it with the address. If the feet or floors are not known, leave it as FT or FLOORS but an address helps immensely. Its what makes these highrise sets or individual projects easy to organize as its easy to search for.

Full Apartment Conversion: Millennium Point

Quote:

Two Lower Manhattan hotels are facing headwinds. At the March 3 meeting of the Battery Park City Committee of Community Board 1, committee member Tammy Meltzer said, "I've heard from one of the people on the board at the Ritz-Carlton that they are actively seeking votes to boot the hotel, and to turn the entire building into apartments." Committee member Jeff Mihok added, "they're trying to sell it for $790 million." Committee chair Anthony Notaro continued, "not only does the building want to sell, but the hotel operators want out."

The Ritz-Carlton building houses both residential condominiums (in the tower section of the building, which is called Millennium Point) and a hotel at the structure's base, which contains 298 guest rooms. The hotel was originally scheduled to open days after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, but did not launch until the following year. Although widely lauded for its high quality of accommodations and service, the hotel has struggled financially since the date it opened, with the 2008 real estate downtown and Hurricane Sandy further clouding its business prospects.

Elsewhere, the W Downtown Hotel, located at the corner of Washington and Albany Streets in the Financial District, is seeking to convert four floors of hotel rooms to apartments. Like the Ritz-Carlton, the W Downtown is an apartment tower with a hotel at its base.

Floors 23 through 26 of the hotel are currently used for extended-stay suites, but the Moinian Group (developer of the property) wants to sell the 32 units as apartments. A spokesman for the Moinian Group, which is trying to sell the four floors to a single purchaser, did not respond to requests for clarification about whether these units would be marketed as rentals or resold as condominium units. (The residential tower at the W Downtown contains both rentals and owner-occupied apartments.)

Project: Assemblage at 2401 Third Avenue and 101 Lincoln Avenue

Towers: 6 x 25 FLOORS

Quote:

Keith Rubenstein's Somerset Partners and the Chetrit Group have joined forces to buy up five acres of land along the Harlem River waterfront in Mott Haven, and plan to turn the industrial stretch of the South Bronx into a residential community with "as many as six 25-story towers with market-rate apartments and ground-floor retail space," according to the Journal. The assemblage, at 2401 Third Avenue and 101 Lincoln Avenue, cost the developers $58 million and is expected to spark a wave of development that will finally turn Mott Haven into the gentrified wonderland of real estate magnates' dreams. "Once the Somerset [Chetrit] project gets under way, I think you will see a total turnaround of this area," the director of special projects for the South Bronx Overall Economic Development Corp told the Journal. "I think you will find this area becomes Williamsburg meets Dumbo." (Guess that makes it the Next Next Next Next Next Williamsburg, or something like that.)

Elected officials, led by Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr., who calls the Somerset-Chetrit project a potential "catalyst," have been pushing for a large-scale redevelopment of the South Bronx, which would cost $500 million and necessitate a substantial investment in infrastructure improvements. Last month Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that the city would make a $200 million capital investment in the Lower Concourse, and the development appears to be following. In turn, Bronx residents have begun organizing and protesting the impending price hikes and displacement that are sure to follow.

Project: 75 Nassau Street

Quote:

Lexin Capital is riding the Financial District’s residential boom with permits filed today for a 197-unit tower at 75 Nassau Street.

The ODA Architecture-designed building will rise 40 stories and will have retail space on the first two floors, according to permits filed with the city’s Department of Buildings. There will be offices on the third and fourth floors.

According to the building permit, the high-rise will top out at 498 feet, nearly half the 800 feet that previously was reported. The residential portion will measure 189,780 square feet with another 39,203 square feet of commercial space. There will be eight apartments each on floors seven through 20, and three apartments on the 22nd floor. Floors 23 through 38 will have four or six apartments, according to plans filed with the city. Metin Negrin’s development company paid $63.4 million total for the land and air rights. It acquired 75-81 Nassau Street, where the building will rise, for $46 million from the Century 21 department store company, which is owned by the Gindi family. Lexin paid another $17.4 million for 83 Nassau and development rights at 85 Nassau.

Project: 357 West Street

Quote:

Developer Ian Schrager closed on the purchase of two development sites at 355 and 358 West Street for a combined total of $48.5 million, according to property records filed with the city today. Weinberg Properties sold the single-story retail building at 355 West Street for $37.2 million. The lot has a total of 41,000 buildable square feet. At 358 West Street, William Gottlieb Real Estate sold its three-story commercial building for $11.3 million. That property has 12,250 buildable square feet. Schrager is reportedly planning a 12-story, 88-unit residential building for the site, to be dubbed 357 West Street, on the Hudson River-facing lot in the West Village. The project will also encompass parcels at 156 Leroy Street and 359 West Streets, though it is unclear how much Schrager paid for those properties.
