NEW YORK | 570 5th Ave (Extell) | 858 - 1,060 FT | 47 - 78 FLOORS

[NYguy]

Now I can see what’s going on with the floor count. The 78 floors is for hotel/ residential, and 47 floors for office. Also, the office could be 870 ft according to this graphic.

Could be something in error, they’ve since pulled these documents from the public for now.

Extell's Plans For 5th Avenue Skyscraper Are Revealed
After spending years demolishing the buildings that once lined a Midtown block, the developer has unveiled its plans: a 1,100-foot tower.

After spending years demolishing nearly a dozen buildings that once lined a Midtown block, the developer Extell has revealed what it plans to construct there: an 1,100-foot-tall skyscraper containing either offices or a hotel with apartments.

The documents describe two possible uses for the enormous tower. In one scenario, it would house 1.5 million square feet of offices, including an event venue and a huge below-ground retail space. Alternatively, it could serve as a 1,520-room hotel, along with 468 regular apartments.

Before starting construction, however, Extell must get the city to approve a number of zoning changes in order to build taller. To sweeten the deal, Extell says it will fund improvements to the Fifth Avenue-53rd Street subway station, taking advantage of the new city program that gives developers square-footage bonuses in exchange for transit fixes.

The work will make the station ADA-accessible, including a new street entrance on East 53rd Street east of Fifth Avenue, two new stairways within the station, two new elevators, two new escalators and a brand-new mezzanine area under East 53rd Street, according to the planning document.

As far back as 2016, Extell began demolishing the series of low-rise buildings that stood along West 46th Street west of Fifth Avenue. Those teardowns were soon followed by the 12-story corner building at 562 Fifth Ave. and the distinctive Tudor-style building next door known as "Finchley's Castle."

The company secured $440 million in financing for the project in 2019 as it prepared to break ground. By spring of this year, the entire site was empty.

Rumors have swirled for years about what Extell — who kicked off the "Billionaire's Row" of supertall skyscrapers a few blocks north — would build on the site. Possibilities included a shopping mall topped by a hotel or apartments.

According to Extell's planning documents, the office building would have its main entrance on Fifth Avenue, with retail entryways on Fifth as well as 46th and 47th streets. The hotel tower, meanwhile, would have its main entrance on West 47th Street, while apartment dwellers would enter on 46th.

Assuming the city approves the tower, construction would begin in 2023 and last four and a half years before wrapping up in 2028.

KPF will be designing this tower, so between this one, 520 Fifth Avenue, and 343 Madison Avenue, they're working on basically 3 supertall towers within a short radius of each other, and a fourth would include the recently completed One Vanderbilt.

Glad to here this level of significant improvements will be coming to this station.

Yeah, that's the unseen beauty of these transit bonuses. Most people won't notice, but there are a lot of improvements coming by way of skyscraper.

Seems like the design isn't final yet and will depend on whether this is office or residential then?

The massing is final. What you see is what you get. The height could differ. But those documents have since been pulled.

The corner building is beautiful. I hope that it gets restored. The ground level has been ruined but could easily be fixed.

[NYguy]

Because Extell is seeking approval for both an office and a hotel/residential tower, we likely won’t know which they have decided on until after approval. Extell tends to lean more towards hotel/residential (they currently have about 4 hotels in the works), but this could also be a prime Fifth Avenue location for a headquarters.

Extell Files Permits For 1,100-Foot Supertall At 570 Fifth Avenue In Midtown, Manhattan



570 Fifth Avenue, developed by Extell.
BY: MICHAEL YOUNG 8:00 AM ON DECEMBER 27, 2021

At number five on our year-end countdown is 570 Fifth Avenue, a mixed-use skyscraper in Midtown. Last week it was revealed that Extell filed permits to develop a ground-up structure with a maximum architectural height of 1,100 feet and 78 floors, making it a potential supertall structure standing on a 43,011-square-foot corner plot bound by Fifth Avenue and West 46th Street. The parcel itself has been sitting cleared and vacant for quite some time, but that will soon change as plans for this latest skyscraper get underway. No architect has been revealed for the project, or what interior functions will be housed inside, though a series of zoning and massing diagrams and ground-floor plans give us an idea about the scale of this mammoth edifice.

Renderings below show two angled views of 570 Fifth Avenue, where a number of setbacks are clustered together roughly 200 to 225 feet above street level, then another at around 700 feet up, a third set at 888 feet high, and finally reaching a height of 1,110 feet tall. The Proposed Actions permit the development of a building with a base of up to 197 feet on Fifth Avenue and 225 feet along 47th Street.

570 Fifth Avenue.

The table below shows a breakdown of each scenario. The architectural height of 1,110 feet and floor count of 78 stories is only applicable to 570 Fifth Avenue being a residential and hotel development.

The second floor plan is for a 1,462,174-square-foot hotel and residential scenario, which shows a single large space for the 55,894 square feet of ground-floor retail with 20,119 square feet of retail below grade, and an ancillary hotel entrance on West 46th Street. Approximately 1,520 guests rooms have the capacity to occupy 988,283 square feet, while 468 dwellings would be spread out over 397,878 square feet.

The gross square footage if this were to be an office building is 1,543,759 square feet, with 1,466,174 square feet allocated toward offices with 66,396 square feet below street level, 20,000 square feet for an event space that would be accessed through a separate lobby with a pair of elevators along West 47th Street, and 77,585 square feet for ground-floor retail space with an additional 62,637 square feet below grade. Also part of the plan is a pair of loading docks on West 46th Street.

Both cases incorporate an approximately 20-foot-wide porte cochere along the western half of the property spanning between West 46th and West 47th Streets with accessory parking space for 20 vehicles in the basement, as well as an expansion of up to 2,632 square feet of the existing hotel use on Lot 9, which is not part of the actual footprint, but is part of the same zoning lot as the Proposed Development Site.

Excavation and foundation work is planned to take about 12 months, followed by superstructure and exterior work taking 28 months with a three-month overlap with the initial below-grade work, then finally the interiors would follow suit and also last 28 months with an overlap of 11 months with the previous stage in construction.

Here we see the overall location of the project and its proximity to the surrounding Midtown, Manhattan neighborhood landmarks such as Grand Central Terminal and the Rockefeller Center complex.

570 Fifth Avenue is slated to begin construction in 2023 and is anticipated to be completed in 2028.

Just an idea of what Extell is seeking....first, the individual text amendment, that would be site specific (similar to what 270 and 175 Park got). Followed by the 3 special permits, for hotel use, mass transit bonus, and modifications to existing zoning (the biggest of which would probably be the base street wall height, and size of signage).








As for residential use, this graphic gives an idea of how little of it there is in the immediate area...

[rgarri4]

Lets hope for a good design. This could have a big impact if done right.

[NYguy]

^ Just what I wanted to see. It may not be as tall as the big boys in town, but it will have a major presence on Fifth Avenue. I have faith in KPF.

[colemonkee]

If all the towers in those models are built, you have a pretty sudden shift in the canopy height of this section of midtown to ~1,000 ft, which would match that of the Hudson Yards area. Not many - if any - cities in the world can boast two sections of skyline (3 if you could the WTC in lower Manhattan) with a canopy of around 1,000 ft. Maybe Dubai with the Marina cluster and Sheik Zayed Road?

[NYguy]

^ That’s why I say it’s shifted from a skyline with supertalls to a supertall skyline.

That looks great. I’d like to see the ground floor desecration of 390 Fifth be rectified.

Gary Barnett’s Extell Development is finally moving ahead with its third development in the Diamond District.

The developer filed plans last week for an 1,100-foot supertall at 570 Fifth Avenue. The project would join the firm’s other jewels in the block-long neighborhood: the International Gem Tower and a planned 534-key hotel along 48th Street.

Barnett’s plans offer two visions for the project, which would span a 13-lot assemblage on Fifth Avenue at 46th and 47th streets. The larger option is a 1.5 million-square-foot residential and hotel tower with 1,524 hotel rooms and 468 apartments. It would stand 1,100 feet tall and, in keeping with the neighborhood’s typical offerings, include 76,000 square feet of retail at the base.

A second option would ditch tourists for workers, rising 860 feet tall and offering 1.4 million gross square feet of office space. The plan would also include about 77,000 square feet of retail and a 20,000-square-foot event space.

Construction at 570 Fifth would start in 2023 and take five years, according to New York Yimby, which first reported the plans. The filings include few architectural particulars, but the project’s size alone would mark a stark departure from the brick walkups that characterize much of the Diamond District.

Barnett already shook up the neighborhood in 2013 when he finished the International Gem Tower, a 500-foot office building with state-of-the-art security and an eye-catching glass façade. This new tower could stand more than twice as tall.

Under current zoning, Extell’s tower would be limited to around 645,000 square feet. (The parcels are zoned C5-3, which allows for a commercial floor-area ratio of 15.) But few firms have shown more creativity in working around zoning restrictions as Extell, and even fewer such verve for a good rezoning battle.
ADVERTISEMENT

Barnett has spent over a decade assembling his holdings in the Diamond District. In 2016, Extell received demolition permits for a string of buildings at the development site, but only followed through on a handful along 46th Street.

Meanwhile, as the Diamond District has battled pandemic blues and an e-commerce revolution, Barnett-held storefronts from 2 through 10 West 47th Street have sat vacant. The one building on the corner he couldn’t nab, 576 Fifth Avenue, sold this summer for $101 million to an unknown buyer. Extell’s plans show a new tower wrapping around that corner lot. No architect has been revealed for the project, and Extell declined to comment.

Barnett spent years as a diamond dealer before entering real estate. Now, with much of the district in his hands, he stands to shape the arena he never truly left behind.
