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

NoMad has been experiencing an incredible amount of construction over the last few years, especially for new hotels. Today, YIMBY has a look at 1225 Broadway, the future Virgin Hotel, which is being developed by the Lam Group. New images reveal that construction has now reached the tenth floor, surpassing the tower’s base, which will eventually create 100,000 square feet of retail space. The full footprint of the podium remains to be completed.

The worsening housing crisis within the Five Boroughs has been apparent to most residents for quite some time. And now, the Department of City Planning is taking notice. Today, YIMBY has the latest from an event held earlier this week for an Association for a Better New York (ABNY), where its first director affirmed the need to produce more housing, as both New York and its suburbs are failing in this capacity.

It’s been over five years since groundbreaking occurred for the Hudson Yards mega-development. Today, phase one appears all but complete, and is increasingly hard to miss on the overall Manhattan skyline. Stretching over 26 acres and costing $25 billion, the full site will become the largest planned development in the country’s history.

YIMBY Scopes 53 West 53rd Street’s Perspectives Above the Midtown Plateau

8:00 am on May 15, 2018 By Andrew Nelson

For the second day of 2018’s Skyline Week, YIMBY has photos from the top of 53 West 53^rd Street, aka 53W53, which has been talked about for longer than any other skyscraper currently under construction in New York City. The supertall has been eleven years and a controversial 200-foot height reduction in the making. The tower will yield condominiums, galleries, and a restaurant, and its kinetic dark façade matches the vibrant energy of the Midtown streets below, with crisscrossing diagrid lines careening from the base up toward the spearheaded peak. The structure is on its way to a 1,050-foot pinnacle, which will handily pierce the surrounding plateau of 700 to 800-foot rooftops.

Excavation at 50 Hudson Yards is nearing completion, and thanks to an aerial by Archartdescon, we can see that foundation work has also now commenced. Construction is advancing with incredible speed, and most of the site has been cleared since YIMBY’s last report in November.

Update on 507 West 27th Street’s Rise Beneath the High Line, Chelsea

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.
