    Exterior work is getting close to completion on 52 Exterior work is getting close to completion on 52-03 Center Boulevard, a 587-foot-tall skyscraper in Hunters Point, Queens, and its shorter 475-foot-tall sibling at 52-41 Center Boulevard. Designed by ODA Architecture with SLCE Architects as the architect of record, the 46- and 56-story towers are part of TF Cornerstone‘s Hunters Point South development, which is set to yield a grand total of 1,194 residential units. Of these, 719 will be designated for affordable housing. 52-03 and 52-41 Center Boulevard are situated along the waterfront esplanade of the East River and are bound by Center Boulevard to the west, Borden Avenue to the north, 2nd Street to the east, and 54th Avenue to the south. Photographs by @mchlanglo793 show almost all of the remaining façade panels have been installed on the taller 52-03 Center Boulevard. The exterior hoist is still attached to the northeastern corner, and the gap in the curtain wall behind it will need to be filled in following its disassembly. The development will also yield 8,000 square feet dedicated to community use with a separate lobby, 8,900 square feet of ground-floor retail space, a 7,950-square-foot daycare facility, and a 572-seat K-8 grade school on the lower floors. Residential living space will measure 374,100 square feet while the total built square footage for the entire project is 855,541 square feet. The two towers will be linked by a 22,000-square-foot park designed by Mathews Nielsen Landscape Architects. Full completion of the entire master plan is expected by winter 2022.
    Cladding and window installation is making rapid h Cladding and window installation is making rapid headway for Vista Property Group’s 15-story mixed-use development, located at 609 W Randolph Street in West Loop Gate. Antunovich Associates is responsible for the design, which includes a brick and metal panel facade. The base of the tower will also involve a series of metal trusses that will further exemplify the industrial-inspired aesthetic. ​Previously occupied by a parking lot, the new high rise will combine with an existing four-story masonry building from the late 19th century. Combined, the project will yield more than 100,000 square feet of ground-level retail, office, and tenant amenity space. Office amenities will provide building tenants with a 15th floor penthouse deck featuring a lounge, meeting rooms, a fitness center with locker rooms, and a north-facing outdoor terrace with expansive skyline views. Other in-building features include a 20-foot-high lobby and window-glazing along the large floor-to-ceiling office windows. Skender is the general contractor behind the construction, which will be LEED certified once complete. An anticipated opening date is expected for early next year.

    It looks like construction is coming to a close on It looks like construction is coming to a close on Sven, a 762-foot-tall skyscraper at 29-37 41st Avenue and the second-tallest building in Long Island City, Queens. Also known as Queens Plaza Park, the 67-story tower is designed by Handel Architects for The Durst Organization and will yield 958 rental units with interiors designed by Selldorf Architects, including 300 units set aside as affordable housing. Hunter Roberts is the general contractor and Jaros, Baum & Bolles Engineering administered the mechanical systems for the project, which is bound by Northern Boulevard to the east, Queens Plaza North and Dutch Kills Green to the south, and 41st Avenue to the west. Since our last update in April, the exterior hoist has been fully disassembled from the flat western elevation and the glass façade panels have filled in the exposed gap. Only some minor work remains to be completed around the ground level. Workers were seen entering and exiting the landmarked Art Deco-style Chase Manhattan Bank Building, aka the Queens Clock Tower, which is in the process of being restored and integrated into Sven, comprising part of the project’s 50,000 square feet of office and retail space. The ornamental façade of the original clock tower is restored and can be fully appreciated. Sven looks like it will be fully completed well before the end of 2021. Construction photographs by @mchlanglo793

    Construction is now fully complete on Skyline Towe Construction is now fully complete on Skyline Tower, the tallest skyscraper in Long Island City and all of Queens. Addressed as 23-15 44th Drive, the 68-story, 778-foot-tall edifice is designed by Hill West Architects and developed by United Construction & Development Group, FSA Capital, and Risland US Holdings LLC. Yielding 802 residences designed by Whitehall Interiors and marketed by Modern Spaces, residences range in price from $500,000 to $4 million. The site is located at the corner of 23rd Street to the west and 44th Drive to the south.Since our last update in December 2020, the remainder of the glass curtain wall has been installed, most prominently enclosing the gap left from the removal of the exterior hoist. Skyline Tower stands prominently over the rest of the structures in Long Island City, and could hold its title as the tallest tower in Queens for the foreseeable future. A new ground-floor subway entrance opened back in the beginning of March, providing access to the Court Square-23rd Street station that services the E and M trains that run into Manhattan. Station improvements provided by the project include a wide staircase, a new elevator, a ramp, ADA-accessible gates, and turnstiles at a cost of around $16 million. There will also be an additional elevator built in the near future that will connect the Manhattan-bound platform to the rest of the Court Square station servicing the nearby 7 and G trains.

    The Kobi Karp-designed Legacy Miami Worldcenter re The Kobi Karp-designed Legacy Miami Worldcenter received a height increase as per a recent determination by the Federal Aviation Administration. The developer has permission to build approximately 20-feet higher than the original approval, from 661-feet to 680-feet. When factoring in the elevation of the site, the total height above sea level increases from 671-feet to 691-feet. Addressed as 930 Northeast 1st Avenue, the tower will rise to become the second tallest structure at the mega development. Royal Palm Companies is the developer of the project, where units are 100% sold out. The approval for the height increase was requested in May of 2021, and only took slightly over two months, approved on July 26, 2021. The tower was originally supposed to span 50 stories, but now that we need to factor in the height increase, there is the possibility of additional stories being added. A 20-foot increase equals to roughly two more stories, on the basis that ceiling heights are around 10-feet or so. The renderings above are directly from the official site for Legacy Miami Worldcenter featuring interiors from ID & Design International. Legacy Miami Worldcenter will offer a mix of 260 MicroLuxe residential units, a 260 key hotel, a 50,000-square-foot Center for Health & Performance along with an additional 60,000 square feet of wellness space and lavish amenities. The site does not require demolition as it is vacant. Construction on the 680-foot tower is expected to reach completion some time in 2024.

    Glass façade installation is steadily progressing Glass façade installation is steadily progressing on the now topped-out Society Biscayne, a 49-story mixed-use skyscraper at 400 Biscayne Boulevard in Downtown Miami. Designed by Sieger Suarez Architects for Property Markets Group and Greybrook Realty Partners, the 571-foot-tall structure will bring a mixture of residential units, office spaces, a church, ground floor retail and a parking garage, while offering sweeping views of Biscayne Bay, Miami Beach and Downtown Miami. Photographs by @skyalign show the state of construction and exterior work at the site. The concrete parapet wall is seen crowning the edifice, confirming the tower is at the maximum height. Most of the glass windows are complete, with just the last residential level remaining, and about 11 more levels of balcony glass are left to be installed. Although the panels are mostly still protected by blue max film, they should be lightly tinted in grey or light blue when peeled off. Society Biscayne is expected to yield 884,114 square feet of residential space across 646 units perched atop 48,240 square feet of office space, a 329-seat church spanning 17,807 square feet across 10 stories, a 406-car parking garage and 3,006 square feet for ground-floor retail space. Construction is projected to wrap up by the end of 2021. Go to Florida YIMBY for the full set of renderings and photographs.
