YIMBY checked in on the progress of two residential projects underway on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. The mid-rise developments are part of the steady wave of construction transforming the neighborhood and are both located in close proximity to the 1, 2, and 3 trains at the 72nd and 79th Street stations along Broadway.
Construction is nearing completion on 362-372 Livingston Street, a complex of three abutting 22-story residential buildings in Downtown Brooklyn. Designed by NY Building Associates Inc. and developed by Yitzchok Katz of Goose Property Management, the 235-foot-tall structure will yield 297 condominium units in studio to two-bedroom layouts, as well as 5,000-square feet of ground-floor commercial space. The property is located at the intersection of Livingston Street and Flatbush Avenue.
Construction is complete on 50 West 66th Street, a 69-story residential skyscraper on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Designed by Snøhetta and developed by Extell and Tennor Holding, the 775-foot-tall tower stands as the tallest structure on the Upper West Side and yields 127 condominium units. SLCE Architects is the executive architect for the property, which is located on an interior lot between Columbus Avenue and Central Park West with frontage on both West 65th and West 66th Streets.
A new rendering has been revealed for 37 West 66th Street, a forthcoming 25-story mixed-use residential building on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Designed by Stephen B. Jacobs Group and developed by Extell Development, the 355-foot-tall structure will span 384,962 square feet and yield 158 condominium units with an average scope of 1,218 square feet. The project will also include 192,481 square feet of commercial space. The property is located between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue.
Work is moving along on the first phase of the redevelopment of the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Midtown, Manhattan. Designed by Lord Norman Foster of Foster + Partners and Epstein (A. Epstein and Sons International) as a joint venture for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ), the $10 billion project will replace the 74-year-old, 2.1-million-square-foot structure with a modern, higher capacity terminal to better serve its hundreds of thousands of daily commuters. The property spans two city blocks between Eighth and Ninth Avenues and West 40th and 42nd Streets.
