35 Hudson Yards in November compared to Today

35 Hudson Yards Becomes Manhattan’s Third New Residential Supertall of 2018

8:00 am on May 2, 2018 By Andrew Nelson

The fast-paced construction of the SOM-designed 35 Hudson Yards is about to reach the roof. A year and a half ago, YIMBY reported on the building reaching the fourth floor. Now, the tower is tantalizingly close to its final, 71^st story. The structure appears to have reached supertall heights, thanks to a two-story steel girder installed this week. Related Companies and Oxford Properties Group are responsible for the development, which is Manhattan’s third new residential supertall of 2018.

7:30 am on May 1, 2018 By Andrew Nelson

Yet another new development by Related Companies is nearing completion. Construction is underway at 507 West 27th Street, a snug single-story structure in Chelsea that is literally built under the High Line Park. While it’s not as glitzy or city-altering as what Related is building nearby, the 14-foot tall commercial structure is of interest because it showcases the possibility for small-scale development filling in underutilized plots of land.

Central Park Tower, Country’s Tallest Building Under Construction, Officially Reaches Supertall Territory

8:00 am on April 30, 2018 By Andrew Nelson

Central Park Tower is finally starting to stick out in Manhattan’s skyline.

New Petition As Public Support Broadens for 80 Flatbush Avenue, Downtown Brooklyn

7:30 am on April 30, 2018 By Andrew Nelson

The debate regarding 80 Flatbush Avenue continues. While the project would rise across the street from what had long been Brooklyn’s tallest tower at One Hanson Place, its opponents’ attacks have escalated following YIMBY’s report on a poll showing a 3:1 margin of support, with the NIMBY group behind its creation and deletion accusing “foreign bots” of meddling in the outcome. Today, however, comes another marker of broad community support, as we have word that the Arab American Family Support Center (AAFSC) has officially endorsed the mixed-use development.
