    Construction is now complete on 180 East 88th Stre Construction is now complete on 180 East 88th Street, a 50-story residential tower and the tallest building on the Upper East Side above 72nd Street. Designed and developed by DDG with HTO Architects as the architect of record, the 100,242-square-foot structure yields 48 half- and full-floor homes, averaging 2,088 square feet apiece that are marketed by Corcoran Sunshine.  Global Holdings Management is also part of the development team for the project, which is located along Third Avenue between East 88th and 89th Streets, directly across from a Whole Foods Market and a short walk from the 86th Street station, servicing the 4, 5, and 6 trains. Recent photos show the completed look of the Kolumba brick masonry walls, which are made by Denmark-based firm Petersen Tegl, and the pair of arches on the midway and upper portion of the edifice appearing finished. Check out our article from last week to see and read more about the residences and amenities. Photographs by @mchlanglo793
    Above is a golden hour rendering by @dboxcg that l Above is a golden hour rendering by @dboxcg that looks directly up the avenues of Midtown, Manhattan towards Vornado Realty Trust's proposed Penn District. Penn 15, located at 15 Penn Plaza is to be the tallest structure of the 7.4-million-square-foot complex and is slated to rise to 1,270 feet tall. Designed by Foster + Partners, this would place it amongst some of the tallest structures in New York City. Its architectural height would surpass  the coveted yet publicly inaccessible circular 103rd floor observatory of the Empire State Building, and The Edge at Hudson Yards that cantilevers 1,131 feet above the city. The rendering makes it clear that a majority of office floors will get abundant daylight exposure and expansive views of Lower Manhattan and the New York harbor to the south, the Hudson River and sunsets over New Jersey, and Billionaire's Row with Central Park to the north.@dboxcg
    Work has still yet to finish on the amorphous mirr Work has still yet to finish on the amorphous mirrored “bean” sculpture at the base of 56 Leonard Street, an 821-foot-tall residential skyscraper in Tribeca. The art piece, which sits partially complete between the sidewalk and the cantilevering ceiling of the ground floor by the intersection of Church and Leonard Streets, is the work of Anish Kapoor. Herzog & de Meuron and Hill West Architects are the designers of the tower, one of the tallest structures in Lower Manhattan. Recent photos show the back side of the bean facing 56 Leonard Street in place, while the inner hollow cutout has been boarded up with plywood until work resumes on the project. The chrome finish and joints between each of the panels we see so far appear smooth and seamless. The rest of the bean will bulge outward to the east and create a distorted reflection of the surrounding buildings. A completion date for Anish Kapoor’s sculpture is unclear, but it’s possible that work could resume once the weather gets warmer.
    The eastern profile of 53 West 53rd Street makes a The eastern profile of 53 West 53rd Street makes an architecturally  dramatic and contrasting appearance against the orthodox shaped skyscrapers that surround the stunning 1,050-foot tall mixed-use residence. The supertall is the work of French architect Jean Nouvel and sits directly adjacent to the Museum of Modern Art, which extends itself into the lower floors of the reinforced concrete edifice to create more space for some of the world's most famous artworks and sculptures. Above is a diagrid of columns that rest between a curtain wall of glass and metal panels that peak with three apexes of different heights. A tuned mass damper is hidden within the taller central pinnacle and keeps the slender structure and its 145 homes safely standing over Midtown, Manhattan, which are spread across 77 levels.

    Looking north from Hudson Square towards the clust Looking north from Hudson Square towards the cluster of glass and stone that wrap around the skyscrapers and supertalls in and around Hudson Yards. The shortest building under construction seen here is FXCollaborative's 601 West 29th Street, while the two tallest are Foster + Partner's 50 Hudson Yards and Bjarke Ingels Group's 66 Hudson Boulevard, aka The Spiral. All three structures are now topped out and have added to the growing Midtown skyline near the Hudson River. Photograph by @mchlanglo793
    Core work for Salesforce Tower Chicago, aka Wolf P Core work for Salesforce Tower Chicago, aka Wolf Point South, now stands at around 20 stories, with the main structural frame beginning to rise around it. Planned by Hines and located at 333 Wolf Point Plaza in the southwest corner of River North, the 60-story office tower serves as the tallest and final staple to the company’s three-tower development known as Wolf Point. Rising 813 feet with a total of 1.2 million square feet, the project will house primarily office space, divided into 24,500-square-foot floor plates. Additional programming includes 25,000 square feet of retail and dining at the base, a club-caliber fitness center, a state-of-the-art conference center, and a tenant lounge. The firm Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects is both the building architect and master planner for the overall Wolf Point scheme. Walsh Construction is serving as the general contractor, with an anticipated completion and opening date in 2023.

    Work is progressing on the residential conversion Work is progressing on the residential conversion and retail addition on the 90-year-old One Wall Street in the Financial District. Designed by SLCE Architects and developed by Macklowe Properties, the projected $1.5 billion undertaking is poised to be the largest office-to-condominium conversion in New York City history. When complete, the 654-foot-tall property will yield a total of 566 residential units with sales handled and marketed by Compass, as well as a 44,000-square-foot Whole Foods Market and a Life Time fitness center on the lower levels. The multi-story reinforced concrete addition atop the mid-century annex of One Wall Street has been topped out for a while and more of the façade has been steadily enclosing the outer edges of the expansion. The new panels feature sculpted Art Deco surfaces, and some of the narrow panels between the large windows are etched with thin vertical lines, emulating the look of the original fenestration. YIMBY last reported that One Wall Street’s residences and the Whole Foods Market are both scheduled to open in 2021, possibly toward the end of the year Check out our article for more info.
