Kohn Pedersen Fox’s 111 Murray Street Gets Its Glassy Crown, Tribeca

8:00 am on October 31, 2017 By Nikolai Fedak

YIMBY has been reporting on 111 Murray Street for several years at this point, and after breaking ground in July of 2015, it was at its fifteenth floor at this time last year. By August, it had topped-out, and glass had climbed over halfway up the exterior. Now, almost three months later, the crown is falling into place, and the 58-story and 800-foot-tall tower appears to be on track for an expected 2018 completion, as seen in the latest photographs from Tectonic.

6:30 am on August 5, 2016 By Reid Wilson

When YIMBY dove into the history of 101-111 Murray Street in TriBeCa earlier this summer, foundation work was underway for a planned 58-story, 157-unit residential tower.

The Phantom Of Times Square: A Century Of Radical Change At 701 Seventh Avenue

4:15 pm on February 12, 2016 By Vitali Ogorodnikov

The year 2015 marked the near-complete demolition of Times Square’s second oldest structure. The Columbia Amusement Co. Building, which opened at Times Square’s northeast corner on West 47th Street in January 1910. 701 7th Avenue was known by a variety of names during its century-long life span. Like the slightly older yet much more famous One Times Square at the opposite end of the square, the building engaged in the neighborhood’s classic disappearing act, where giant billboards seen by millions made their renovation-scarred hosts all but invisible. But behind the ads, standing on a 16,000-square-foot lot, was a building with a history as dramatic and diverse as that of the famous square on which it stood.

Developers Shelve Plans For Residential Tower At 36 Central Park South, Midtown

6:00 am on January 29, 2016 By Reid Wilson

Over the summer, YIMBY brought you new renderings and details on the planned 88-unit luxury residential tower at 36 Central Park South, dubbed 1 Park Lane, which would replace the 46-story, 628-key Park Lane Hotel. The project was in the pre-development stages and advertised in the EB-5 program, but its developers, Witkoff and Macklowe Properties, are shelving plans for now, Bloomberg Business reports. Due to uncertainty in EB-5’s congressional reform, a slowdown in the Chinese economy, and an over-saturation in the ultra-luxury residential market, the Park Lane will remain as a hotel for the foreseeable future. Its operations and management are in the process of being repositioned, and Witkoff is in talks to refinance debt on the property.
