    Besides the ornate and detailed crown, new additio Besides the ornate and detailed crown, new additional renderings depicting 175 Park Avenue's base have also been released in Tuesday's public hearing. The one above steps back from the site even further than previously seen and shows more of the lower floors of Project Commodore and their contextual relationship with Grand Central Terminal. The first few levels of the 83-story superstructure taper inwards and away from the property line in order to create more space between SOM's 1,600-foot mixed-use office and hotel supertall and the 108-year old Beaux Arts Midtown East train station. The steel columns that would elegantly fan out from the four corners of the edifice are to be anchored by massive subterranean supporting columns, and will be textually fluted as inspired by the stone columns found across the facades of Grand Central Terminal. These, along with the rest of the vertically expressive perimeter columns stretching to the roof parapet, will be encased with a painted matte finish in order to prevent excessively reflective glare. Stay tuned for YIMBY's article and complete overview that will cover even more critical architectural and engineering aspects of Project Commodore tomorrow at 8:00 AM.
    Close-up images of Project Commodore's 1,646-foot- Close-up images of Project Commodore's 1,646-foot-tall crown are now available thanks to a presentation from a public hearing on Tuesday February 23 that involved the Landmarks Preservation Commission voting and overwhelmingly approving the 1,600-foot supertall. With the pinnacle designed to have a dense network of interlaced steel columns and beams separated by diamond-shaped voids and windows, much of the attention at the hearing was focused on the voting of the project's following key aspects: an 8 - 2 vote on analyzing the now successfully acclaimed "harmonious relationship" between Skidmore Owings & Merrill's 83-story mixed-use hotel and office superstructure with the adjacent Grand Central Terminal; and a unanimous 10-0 vote on the now approved improvements to the outdoor viaduct sidewalks and the interior 42nd Street passage that would all collectively further enhance the circulation of commuters amongst the ground floor of the Midtown East complex. The full post will be up on YIMBY tomorrow at 8:00 AM.
    The finishing touches are going up on 11 Hoyt Stre The finishing touches are going up on 11 Hoyt Street, a 620-foot-tall residential skyscraper in Downtown Brooklyn with closings underway. Developed by Tishman Speyer and designed by Jeanne Gang of Studio Gang with Hill West Architects as the architect of record, the exterior of the 57-story project now appears complete, with all of its elegantly sculpted façade panels installed. Michaelis Boyd Associates is leading the interior design for the property’s 481 residential units, which will come in a total of 190 different layouts, and Edmund Hollander of Hollander Design is in charge of landscaping for the private outdoor green spaces. Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group is leading the sales and marketing for the Brooklyn residences. Work has also moved along on the motor courtyard on the western half of the property, and the landscaping and metal railings for the private outdoor green space are now complete. 11 Hoyt Street’s homes will range in price from $690,000 for studios to approximately $3,500,000 for a four-bedroom layout. Residents can choose between two Brooklyn-inspired palettes, called Heritage and Classic.
    Renderings have been revealed for a two-tower prop Renderings have been revealed for a two-tower proposed mixed-use development located at 601 W Monroe Street in downtown Chicago's West Loop Gate. Located on a rectangular lot, the site sits along W Monroe Street, spanning the entire width of the block from S Jefferson Street to S Desplaines Street. Currently a surface parking lot, the parcel is directly adjacent to Heritage Green Park. Pacific Reach Properties is the developer behind the proposal. Designed by Solomon Cordwell Buenz, the new construction will include two towers. The east tower will rise 47 stories with 537 apartments, 23,405 square feet of retail space, and 397 parking spaces. The west tower will rise 40 stories with 516 apartments, 6,904 square feet of retail space, and an additional 33 parking spaces within the parking garage. The west tower will become a backdrop to the 50,000-square-foot public park, Heritage Green Park. The developer added over 30,000 square feet of retail along the park and adjacent street frontages. The first and second floors of the west building directly adjacent to the park will be planned for a food and beverage tenant, placing an active use that will provide additional security to the park. An official timeline for the project has not been announced.
    Façade work is progressing quickly on 18 Sixth Av Façade work is progressing quickly on 18 Sixth Avenue, a 49-story residential skyscraper in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. Designed by Perkins Eastman for The Brodsky Organization and Greenland Forest City Partners, the 532-foot-tall, 740,000-square-foot building will yield 858 rental units, of which 258 will be dedicated to affordable housing. The property sits directly adjacent to Barclays Center and is bound by Atlantic Avenue to the north and the corner of Sixth Avenue and Pacific Street to the east. 18 Sixth Avenue is the tallest building in the 22-acre Pacific Park master plan and will eventually be joined by a corridor of future buildings running down Atlantic Avenue over the train tracks to the east. The skyscraper has reached its final height, the yellow safety cocoon has been removed, and the glass curtain wall has risen to around the midway point on the upper half of the structure. The flat and straight edges of the floor plates have made the assembly progress fairly rapid. The low-rise mechanical extension over the roof parapet looks like it will be enclosed in dark paneling as depicted in the main rendering. 18 Sixth Avenue is slated for completion in early 2022.

    Last week Governor Andrew Cuomo announced the boar Last week Governor Andrew Cuomo announced the board of directors of Empire State Development (ESD) had adopted the general project plan for the Empire Station Complex. The drafted plan, supported by a draft Environmental Impact Statement, is expected to create about 20 million square feet of Class A commercial office, retail, hotel, and residential space, and calls for five supertalls ranging from 1,018 to 1,300 feet in height, in addition to four other major skyscrapers. The area is bounded by Sixth and Ninth Avenues to the east and west, and by West 30th and West 34th Streets to the south and north in Midtown, Manhattan. Moynihan Station, the first step in the revitalization, opened at the end of 2020. Three of the eight proposed sites would accommodate an expansion of Penn Station south of the existing structure, which would allow for up to nine additional tracks and five new platforms, stairways, and station entrances, given the above-grade mixed-use developments accommodate that expansion. Next steps for the plan consist of a virtual public hearing on the draft Environmental Impact Statement and General Project Plan on Tuesday, March 23, 2021 from 5:00PM to 8:00PM, followed by a 30-day public comment period. The Empire State Complex project is expected to be completed by 2038.
    Construction has topped out on 550 Clinton Avenue, Construction has topped out on 550 Clinton Avenue, a 29-story residential tower in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. Designed by Morris Adjmi Architects and developed by Hope Street Capital, the structure rises from a four-story podium bound by Atlantic Avenue to the south, Clinton Avenue to the east, and Vanderbilt Avenue to the west. The 280,000-square-foot development will yield 284 apartments and about 60,000 square feet of retail area. New photographs show the façade climbing up along the flat and angled edges of the floor plates. The mechanical extension atop the roof was seen being finished with the last assembly of concrete form work creating the outer walls. Floor-to-ceiling glass panels on the wide eastern and western sides are being wedged between the concrete fenestration. It looks like 550 Clinton Avenue could be finished in the latter half of this year. See last week's article for more info and details about the upcoming amenities.
