    Renderings Revealed For SHoP Architects-Designed Skyscraper at 2 Hudson Square, in Lower Manhattan

    Looking east towards not only at Skidmore Owings & Looking east towards not only at Skidmore Owings & Merrill's Project Commodore, but also Kohn Pedersen Fox's One Vanderbilt, William Van Alen's Chrysler Building, the new 270 Park Avenue, and Rafael Vinoly's 432 Park Avenue to the north. These five supertalls would collectively dominate this section of the Manhattan skyline, each encompassing five different and unique architectural designs and crowns made possible with a mix of old and new feats of engineering and construction technology.
    YIMBY has a new batch of renderings and diagrams t YIMBY has a new batch of renderings and diagrams that depict Skidmore Owings & Merrill‘s upcoming ground-up mixed-use supertall at 175 Park Avenue, aka Project Commodore. The 83-story Midtown East, Manhattan behemoth is slated to rise on the site of the Grand Hyatt between the 108-year old Beaux Arts style Grand Central Terminal and the 91-year-old Art Deco style Chrysler Building at the corner of East 42nd Street and Lexington Avenue. RXR Realty and TF Cornerstone are developing the massive structure, which also appears to have gotten a height reduction to 1,486 feet tall, as opposed to the 1,646-foot tall architectural height previously intended. Inside will be 500 Hyatt hotel rooms on the upper floors spanning 453,000 square feet; 10,000 square feet of retail space on the ground, cellar, and second levels; new elevated, publicly accessible plaza space overlooking the surrounding Midtown neighborhood; and 2.1 million square feet of Class A office space. The view we see here is looking south towards Lower Manhattan over Park Avenue.
    Curtain wall installation is progressing on 601 We Curtain wall installation is progressing on 601 West 29th Street, a 695-foot-tall residential skyscraper on the border of Hudson Yards and West Chelsea. Designed by FXCollaborative, developed by Douglaston Development, and constructed by Levine Builders, the 60-story structure is also known as “Tower A” in a two-building development along with the adjacent 606 West 30th Street, and will yield 703 market-rate and 235 affordable housing residences, 50,000 square feet of amenity space, and 15,000 square feet of retail space. The project site is bound by Eleventh Avenue to the east, West 29th Street to the south, and West 30th Street to the north. Recent photos show the tremendous progress on the skyscraper since our last update in December, when the reinforced concrete superstructure had just passed the halfway mark. Since topping out in late February, work has now shifted to the installation of the curtain wall, which has risen above the podium and is now making its way up the L-shaped massing. 601 West 29th Street is expected to be ready for occupancy by next summer.

All these supertall office and residential towers make a distinct and unique impression over the Midtown skyline and are well defined by their signature pinnacles and architectural building massing.

    Construction is continuing to rise on Two Manhatta Construction is continuing to rise on Two Manhattan West, a 935-foot-tall commercial skyscraper in Midtown West. Designed by Skidmore Owings & Merrill and developed by Brookfield, the 58-story office tower stands at the corner of West 31st Street and Ninth Avenue, directly to the south of One Manhattan West, its 996-foot-tall architecturally identical sibling. The building will yield 2 million square feet and is expected to cost $2 billion. Recent photos from along Ninth Avenue show the sunlight and blue sky reflecting off the sleek glass panels. The safety cocoon component was also recently put into place, and more sections of it were seen on West 31st Street waiting to be lifted upward and attached to the edges of the steel perimeter. Like One Manhattan West, the lower levels of Two Manhattan West will have the largest floor plates in terms of square footage and will gradually reduce in size as the skyscraper nears its pinnacle. It was last reported that Two Manhattan West is slated to be finished in 2023. See our article for the full set of photographs, taken by @mchlanglo793
    Looking at the 1,550-foot tall Central Park Tower, Looking at the 1,550-foot tall Central Park Tower, the 1,428-foot tall 111 West 57th Street, and the 1,396-foot tall 432 Park Avenue from the East River. The three distinct residential supertalls are the current tallest structures along 57th Street, aka Billioanire's Row, and dominate the two ends and middle of the coveted corridor between Park Avenue and Eighth Avenue. Meanwhile the Citigroup Center at 601 Lexington Avenue also makes a bold and iconic appearance over Midtown with its sloped southern roof and bands of wrap around glass windows.

    Façade installation is progressing on Foster + Pa Façade installation is progressing on Foster + Partners‘ 50 Hudson Yards, a 1,011-foot commercial supertall in Hudson Yards. Developed by Related Companies and Oxford Properties, the 58-story office skyscraper is the final structure in the first phase of Hudson Yards and is to be the largest structure by volume, yielding 2.9 million square feet. The site is bound by West 34th Street to the north, Tenth Avenue to the east, West 33rd Street to the south, and Hudson Boulevard to the west. Recent photos show the state of the glass and stone curtain wall since our last update in mid-February, when the tower had just finished topping out. The façade is now roughly three-quarters of the way to the flat parapet. The safety cocoon netting is being taken apart, while several portions of the metal-framed crown are being welded into place. The fireproofing of the columns, beams, and girders is rapidly taking shape and only several floors below the pinnacle remain to be enclosed in the envelope. It’s possible that the entire curtain wall could be completed by sometime this summer. 50 Hudson Yards is aiming for LEED certification and is expected to finish construction and open sometime next year. A finalized date has yet to be publicly disclosed. Photographs by @mchlanglo793
    Back in January 2021, JDS Development Group announ Back in January 2021, JDS Development Group announced a 2.5 million-square-foot project in the Brickell neighborhood of Miami now known as 1 Southside Park. Addressed as 1133 Southwest 2nd Avenue, the SHoP Architects-designed structure is anticipated to rise up to 60-stories and top out at 780-feet, serving as a mixed-use skyscraper. James Corner Field Operations is the landscape architect, O’Donell Dannwolf and Partners Architects is the architect of record, Vidaris is selected for the facade and waterproofing, and Rockwell Group is designing interiors. An updated state-of-the-art Fire Station No.4 will be built within the ground floor along Southwest 2nd Avenue and Southwest 12th Street, to replace the former station. 1 Southside Park will be a mixed-use skyscraper, adding over 1 million square feet within 1,175 residential units, 190,000 square feet of office space, a world-class Treehouse Hotel by Barry Sternlicht featuring 191 rooms, 111,000 combined square feet of commercial/retail/restaurant as well as healthcare/wellness facilities and hotel convention and event space, a 32,000-square-foot fire station and up to 1000 parking spaces .Work is in the pre-development demolition stages, with a scheduled completion date set for 2023.
    Exterior work is progressing on The Fifth Avenue H Exterior work is progressing on The Fifth Avenue Hotel at 250 Fifth Avenue in NoMad. Designed by Perkins Eastman, PBDW Architects, and Martin Brudnizki Design Studio and developed by Flaneur Hospitality, the project involves the construction a 230-foot-tall, 24-story tower and the renovation of the adjacent 116-year-old McKim, Mead & White-designed building. Recent photos show the finished look of the historic structure’s renovated façade at the corner of Fifth Avenue and West 28th Street. The scaffolding and black netting that obscured the building at the time of our last update in late October has been removed, revealing the elegantly restored fenestration that brings the low-rise bank structure back to its pristine state from the early 20th century. Meanwhile, façade work is making swift progress on the new reinforced concrete extension on the western end of the site. The Fifth Avenue hotel will contain 153 hotel rooms, with 129 in the new addition and the remaining 24 in the historic structure, which YIMBY last reported is being called “The Mansion.” Work should likely wrap up before the end of the year.
