A new rendering has been revealed for 360 Tenth Avenue, a proposed supertall commercial skyscraper in Midtown West, Manhattan. The structure will yield 1 million square feet of Class A office space. McCourt Global is the current owner of the property, which is situated between Brookfield Properties‘ Manhattan West complex and Related Companies‘ first phase of Hudson Yards, and bound by West 31st Street to the north, Dyer Avenue and West 30th Street to the south, and Tenth Avenue to the west.
The above rendering from McCourt Global’s website depicts the southern elevation of the slender tower, which is shown clad in a transparent glass curtain wall. The building rises from a square footprint with a pair of shallow setbacks below the midpoint. Near the two-thirds mark, the profile begins to step back successively, creating a wedge-like appearance reminiscent of SHoP Architects’ 111 West 57th Street. A centralized mechanical bulkhead is located within the tapering section, which culminates in a transparent crown.
McCourt purchased the property for $167 million in 2013 from Sherwood Equities and Long Wharf Real Estate, which had bought it from Barclays in 2011 after the company seized the parcel in 2009 from Extell, which had originally acquired the land for only $23 million in 2005. Today, the plot is currently home to multiple padel courts and has been used in the past for various pop-up events.
360 Tenth Avenue’s architectural height has yet to be finalized, but the rendering makes it appear higher than SOM’s 995-foot-tall One Manhattan West, and close to the height of The Edge observatory at Kohn Pedersen Fox‘s 1,268-foot-tall 30 Hudson Yards. The design firm is planning to engineer 360 Tenth Avenue to LEED platinum standards and incorporate the latest environmental, health, and safety components. The website also states that the property would offer a direct connection to the recently opened High Line – Moynihan Connector.
Construction is planned commence sometime next year, though an exact timeline has yet to be finalized.

Well this is unexpected… If nothing else, it’s great to see that developers are still optimistic about NYC.
Yes.
Betting on workers going back to offices in 2024.
At least by 2026-27 when this tower is likely to open.
Rothschild is requiring all employees back in the office 5 days a week after Labor Day.
I’m hoping other companies will follow.
That’s good news. But they’ve got to stick to it, with maybe only a few, genuine, exceptions. It appears most of the companies (including mine) in my multi-building complex are once-again filled with employees – its now a daily challenge to find a good parking space!
parking?????
Now that the admin is pushing the masks and new vaccines again the in the office work will probably be stopped before it even starts.
Very slender for an office building, nice taper at the top.
Looks nice.
Seriously? A bank is going to finance this as office space is being abandoned nationwide?
This is New York not Cleveland. New York gets a lot of companies from other companies wanting a prime US location. Companies also want to leave older buildings that no longer have the amenities they want or don’t have their offices in one contiguous location. Also with the current refining efforts, a lot of older buildings are going to be converted into residential use. Hudson Yards buildings are getting tenants whose company locations were in older buildings. My friends company moved to Hudson Yards. L’Oréal did as well
Creating tons of vacancies in any office building that’s not a brand new luxury building (many of which cannot be easily converted) seems like it will be bad for society
Also, the problem of bringing in many high income earners from other states during a housing crisis
Chris is correct. NY is not Cleveland. Certainly NOT dire San Francisco (which is committing suicide). The demand for new, well-located, state-of-art office space in NYC is rather healthy, as evidenced by the great leasings.
And Paul, real estate investors likely know things you do not. And they will not invest – knowingly – in a sure loser.
Say’s a lot doesn’t it. If Banks remain bullish on commercial office space in Manhattan it’s welcome news. Especially for small businesses that generate most of their revenue form office workers… Restaurants, bars, dry cleaners, hair salons, etc.
Welcome news, indeed!
lots of companies moving from old buildings in NYC to the modern buildings, one reason is they have lots of amenities for workers.
Just like you dump your old car every few years for a new one..
Tell that to my 2005 Pontiac Vibe my friend.
Companies moving into new office buildings also frees up older, less desirable office stock for residential conversion—which usually means the restoration of historical features that would otherwise be ripped out to bring the building up to modern office standards.
Have you seen what happened to the Flat Iron Building?
Who knows, it might suddenly become another much needed “luxury tower with 10 low income units”?! 🤔🤣
Great height and filing in the space between Hudson yards and Manhattan West 👍
This looks like a really great project. An attractive SOM design near Manhattan West is a perfect idea.
The glass version of Steinway Tower, and like twice the width. Still a good skyline addition!
Whaaaaat? Please explain this to me!
Sorry—retracted! I thought (foolishly) you meant Carnegie Hall Tower! Cheers!
That straight up confused me for a minute last night lol
IMHO the solution to RTO is fast easy commuting. The solution to fast easy commuting is affordable housing and public safety. The 15 minute city could be the answer.
Happy they are moving forward with developing that parcel. It’s always hosted a bunch of popup businesses that felt out of place.
While who knows how long this will take to develop, that whole area is starting to congeal into something coherent after being a construction hellhole for the last decade.
I think that the tower is somewhat not off-putting planned, nowhere to reprehensible because office tower should appearance on allowing light to pass through: Thanks to Michael Young.
Nice! perfectly fits in with the hudson yards skyline
Will it be blue?! Sure the blue glass factory is running out
I like this building – yeah of course looks a little bit like glass steinway tower but I wanna see that in NY skyline. Good proportions…
