What Could Have Been: Norman Foster & Rogers Stirk Harbour’s Submissions for Nordstrom Tower, 217 West 57th Street

With formwork about to rise above ground level at Nordstrom Tower, the Smith + Gill-designed supertall’s plans seem to be finalized, pending possible adjustments at the very top. But other renderings for Extell’s site were created by several firms during the RFP process, and we now have images of proposals by Foster + Partners and Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners. While they will remain unbuilt, both versions of the building offer fantastical takes on the future of Midtown in their own right.

Developer To Build 202-Unit Rental Building At Rivertowns Square, Mixed-Use Project In Dobbs Ferry

Dallas-based Lincoln Property Company has paid $9.6 million for a lease to build the residential portion of Rivertowns Square, a mixed-use development located off the Saw Mill River Parkway, in Westchester’s Dobbs Ferry. According to Westfair, a 202-unit, 277,000 square-foot rental building is planned on Danforth Avenue. Dobbs Ferry Capital Partners and Saber Real Estate Advisors are developing the overall project, which will include an 138-key hotel on Livingstone Avenue, and 112,000 square feet of commercial space, which is now 80% leased. An office campus has already been demolished to make way for the new construction, and opening of the first commercial building is expected next summer.

Eight-Story Residential & Hotel Building Filed At 21-16 44th Drive, Long Island City

Early last year, crews demolished the single-story warehouse building at 21-16 44th Drive, in Long Island City, and then posted a mysterious rendering, but later removed it. It appears the site has changed hands now that The Court Square Blog spotted pre-filings for an eight-story mixed-use building by the developer Amsterdam Hospitality. Retail space will be located in the cellar and ground floors, and a 70-key hotel will span the building’s four lower stories. Above, there will be 29 apartments topped by a roof deck.

The building will feature retail space on the ground floor and a portion of the basement level, followed by 116 below-market rate apartments on the second through seventh floors. Up top, there will be 246 condominiums, with the first renderings surfacing for those back in June.
