Permits have been filed for a 34-story building at 600 West 125th Street in Manhattanville. Located on the corner of Broadway and West 125th Street, the lot is steps away from the 125th Street subway station, serviced by the 1 train. The Trustees of Columbia University is listed as the owner behind the applications.
The proposed 391-foot-tall development will yield 175,044 square feet, with 141,565 square feet designated for community facility space and 5,000 square feet for commercial space. The building will have 142 residences for graduate students and faculty with an average unit scope of 996 square feet. The concrete-based structure will also have a cellar and a McDonald’s currently on the site will return in the ground-floor commercial space.
CetraRuddy Architecture is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits were filed last month. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

Hello New York YIMBY: What is God? God is a 34-story building. When I looking through the project via Google Maps.
Columbia U. and McDonald’s..more alike than you might think.
You need only go there, be there, to see that this is not a place for a 34 story building.
There is already the 34 Story Vandewater at 122nd St. already built, and the 42 story Union Theological building going up each a block away. This will be shorter than both and on a commercial street.
Columbia University should have to pay taxes like everyone else. They are ds\estroys commerces for the in dependent ow er who pays taxes and drowns in them. There should be a percentage of property that stay available to the people. Too much of this are has been on hold for RE agents landlords and the people to live a be respected as human not animals caged until the city decided to move on
This building will look nice on a total desolate underutilized corner.
