    Construction is nearing completion on One Essex Cr Construction is nearing completion on One Essex Crossing, a 14-story full-block development at 202 Broome Street on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Designed by CetraRuddy for Delancey Street Associates, which is comprised of BFC Partners, L+M Development Partners, Taconic Partners, The Prusik Group, and Goldman Sachs Urban Investment Group, the mixed-use project will add a mix of residential and office space to the nine-building Essex Crossing master plan. Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group is handling sales for One Essex Crossing, with prices ranging from $890,000 for a studio to $6,689,000 for a duplex penthouse. Recent photos show the state of progress with the mechanical hoist remaining attached to the western elevation, but should be disassembled in the coming weeks. A few other signs of construction include sidewalk scaffolding on the main northern profile facing Delancey Street, metal gates and construction boards on the opposite side along Broome Street, and orange netting and temporary wooden railings around the perimeter of the setback where the landscaped terrace will be located. Work should soon wrap up and occupancy at One Essex Crossing is anticipated later this year. See our New York YIMBY article for details about the homes and numerous amenities.

    Construction has topped out for the 50-story, 727- Construction has topped out for the 50-story, 727-foot-tall office tower at 320 S Canal Street in Chicago's West Loop Gate. Also known as BMO Tower, the 1.5 million-square-foot edifice has been co-developed by Riverside Investment & Development and Convexity Properties. The building’s class A office spaces will feature 29,000- to 32,000-square-foot efficient floor plates, floor-to-ceiling windows, ceiling spans upwards of 12 feet, and private terraces on select floors. Goettsch Partners is the project architect, whose design reinterprets the modern office tower with several unique architectural features. Such features include a tapered massing with multiple setbacks, a set of V-shaped structural transfers anchored to the base, and a corrugated glass and metal facade. Clark Construction is behind the $900 million undertaking. With the core now topped out and the final beam lifted into place this past week, a full completion is anticipated for January 2022. Check out our Chicago YIMBY article to see what future amenities occupants will be able to have access to and for the full set of images. Construction photographs by @jckcrwfrd
    This week the New York State Court of Appeals shut This week the New York State Court of Appeals shut down a lawsuit opposing the development of four new skyscrapers in Lower Manhattan’s Two Bridges neighborhood. This legal move upheld the August ruling by Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court in favor of JDS Development Group, CIM Group, L+M Development Partners, and Starrett Corporation, who aim to build four more towers along the Two Bridges waterfront on the Lower East Side. In 2018, Manhattan Borough president Gale A. Brewer and the New York City Council challenged the proposal’s approval by the City Planning Commission on the basis that the new construction required special permits and had to undergo the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) process. A lower court decision in 2019 ruled in favor of Brewer. Now, according to the State Court of Appeals, plans for four new supertalls will face an easier review process and could add more than 2,700 residential units to the area. The buildings include a 730-foot-tall building at 259 Clinton Street by Starrett, a 1,008-foot-tall rental tower at 247 Cherry Street developed by JDS, and a two-tower development rising 798 feet at 260 South Street co-developed by CIM and L+M. Community additions include 690 affordable housing units, $15 million in local park improvements, $12.5 million to rehabilitate a neighborhood NYCHA complex, and a $40 million improvement project to the East Broadway subway station.
    Progress is being made on Cove, a massive mixed-us Progress is being made on Cove, a massive mixed-use project in Jersey City. Argent Ventures, which owns 12.4 acres of the development land, has joined forces with H&R Real Estate Investment Trust, to redevelop the property adjacent to Liberty State Park. Preliminary plans by Argent Ventures called for a mixed-use waterfront development with 1.6 million square feet of laboratory and office space and 1,544 residential units. Residents would have clear views of both downtown Jersey City and Manhattan. The first phase of development, recently completed, involved environmental remediation on the land that borders Aetna Street and Jersey Avenue. The second phase is expected to start this summer and comprises permitting and infrastructure improvement design. Construction on the two-tower mixed-use buildings would then begin in 2022. Check out our YIMBY article from yesterday to see more of the renderings and details about what will be built and included at the Cove.
    Construction has topped out on 555 West 38th Stree Construction has topped out on 555 West 38th Street, a 570-foot-tall residential skyscraper in Hudson Yards. Developed by Rockrose and designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects with SLCE as the architect of record, the 52-story structure will add 598 rental units to this growing section of Midtown. The site is located along Eleventh Avenue between West 38th Street and West 39th Street, directly across from the Jacob K. Javits Center. Recent photos show the significant progress on the project since our last update in December, when the reinforced concrete superstructure had passed the halfway mark. Now, the glass curtain wall has been installed up to a similar mark on the unconventional massing. Adding texture to the all-glass façade are thin blue panels forming an oversized rectangular grid that follows the slanted edges. 555 West 38th Street is planned to complete construction in the fall of 2022.

    Levels are rising at 100 South Grand Avenue in Dow Levels are rising at 100 South Grand Avenue in Downtown Los Angeles. The 45-story, 479-foot tall, 949,206-square foot project is called “The Grand,” and includes plans for two highrise buildings as well as a park. The privately-owned real estate firm behind the project is Related Companies. One tower will be a 20 story Equinox hotel, which will contain 308 guest rooms. The other tower will be a 39 story apartment building, with 436 dwelling units, 89 of which will qualify as very low-income housing. Resting below each skyscraper is a multi-story podium with retail, 71,000 square feet of bars, cafes, and dining. There will also be 21,486 square feet of landscaping. Two levels of basement parking will be below the residential and commercial space with room for 309 compact, 37 disabled, and 411 standard parking spots. There will also be 126 long-term bicycle parking spaces. The project is designed by Frank Gehry of Gehry and residential leasing is planned to begin in 2022.

    Exterior work is taking another step toward comple Exterior work is taking another step toward completion on 111 West 57th Street, a 1,428-foot residential supertall on Midtown, Manhattan’s Billionaires’ Row, as the construction elevator has been disassembled from the northern elevation. Designed by SHoP Architects and developed by JDS Development, Property Markets Group, and Spruce Capital Partners, 111 West 57th Street is the world’s most slender building with a height-to-width ratio of 24:1, and features 60 units designed by Studio Sofield and marketed by Douglas Elliman Development Marketing. The crane has remained in relatively the same position since our last update in December during YIMBY’s construction countdown. A small segment of the mast was taken off in the final months of 2020, but it’s unclear when disassembly operations will resume. Meanwhile the nearly finished podium and restoration of the ornamental touches to the adjacent Steinway Building looks thoroughly executed. Check out the rest of the photographs in last week's NY YIMBY article. Photographs by @mchlanglo793
    Looking north towards Midtown and Billionaire’s Looking north towards Midtown and Billionaire’s Row from the top penthouse balcony at CetraRuddy’s Rose Hill. Located in NoMad at 30 East 29th Street as a topped out 639-foot-tall, 123-unit residence, the structure is being developed by Rockefeller Group and is being marketed by CORE Real Estate Group with only a handful of exterior finishes and interior rooms left to wrap up. Completion is expected later this summer. Current availabilities range from a one-bedroom, one-bathroom studio for $1.395 million to a three-bedroom, three-bathroom duplex penthouse for $18.75 million with a private balcony and terrace.
    Exterior work is progressing on The Spiral, a 66-s Exterior work is progressing on The Spiral, a 66-story, 1,041-foot-tall commercial supertall at 66 Hudson Boulevard in Hudson Yards. Designed by Bjarke Ingels Group and developed by Tishman Speyer, the is poised to yield a whopping 2.85 million square feet of office space. Turner Construction Company is serving as the construction manager, Banker Steel is in charge of manufacturing the steel, and Permasteelisa is the contractor for the glass enclosure for the project, which is expected to cost $3.7 billion. Recent photographs show the climbing assembly of glass panels continuing to distinguish the signature stepped terraces, which will serve as landscaped amenity spaces for every office floor. About two-thirds of The Spiral is now enclosed, while the upper portion is quickly undergoing the process of fireproofing. Parts of the safety cocoon netting remain around the perimeter of the flat roof parapet and should steadily be removed piece by piece as work progresses on the steel crown. It’s likely that the entire envelope will be fully in place in the coming months, probably by mid to late summer. It will also be a matter of time before we start to see the construction cranes being removed. Photographs by @mchlanglo793
