Upper West Side

New renderings have been revealed for the planned campus upgrades to Lincoln Center on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Designed by Weiss/Manfredi and led by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) Lincoln Center West Initiative, the project will transform Damrosch Park on the Amsterdam Avenue side of the complex with a new outdoor theater and public recreation space. Moody Nolan is the architect of record and Hood Design Studio is the landscape architect for the development, which is located at the southwest corner of the Lincoln Center plan by the corner of Amsterdam Avenue and West 62nd Street.

Construction topped out on April 22 on the Tang Wing for American Democracy, a four-story expansion of the New York Historical at 170 Central Park West on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Designed by Robert A. M. Stern Architects, the 70,000-square-foot addition will yield new gallery spaces, classrooms, an outdoor courtyard, and a rooftop garden. The wing will house an expanded program for the Academy for American Democracy and also serve as the new home for the American LGBTQ+ Museum. It will also contain a compact storage facility for the Patricia D. Klingenstein Library collection. Turner Construction is the general contractor for the project, which is located on the southwest corner of the property along West 76th Street.
