    Construction is rising on 200 East 83rd Street, a Construction is rising on 200 East 83rd Street, a 449-foot-tall residential tower from Robert A.M. Stern on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Developed by Naftali Group and Rockefeller Group, the 243,128-square-foot development reinforced concrete structure will rise to a height of 35 stories and house 86 units spread over 205,877 square feet, for an average of 2,393 square feet apiece. SLCE Architects is the architect of record for the project, which is located at the corner of Third Avenue and East 83rd Street. Recent photos show the superstructure steadily climbing above the streets as the safety cocoon assembly follows the vertical progress with every completed floor. Work is past the multi-story podium and well above the adjacent neighboring low-rise buildings. Some facade panels have windows with fluted stone textures that resemble shutters, alongside a deep window sill and an adjoining apron. A symmetrical floral pattern with four petals within a square frame can be seen in the center line on the top of one of the window voids, while a protruding pair of cylindrical stone lips frame the sides. The construction poster lists the completion date for 200 East 83rd Street for the winter of 2022. Photographs by @mchlanglo793
    Construction has passed the 800-foot-tall mark for Construction has passed the 800-foot-tall mark for the east tower at One Chicago, a 2.2 million-square-foot development in the northeast corner of River North. Planned by JDL and Sterling Bay, the project involves a pair of 49- and 76-story skyscrapers rising 574 and 971 feet in height, respectively, the latter of which will be Chicago’s eighth tallest building upon its completion. Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture and Goettsch Partners are behind the design. Inside will be a mix of programming, including a Whole Foods, a Life Time Athletic Club, various event spaces, dining, and 55,000 square feet of offices. As for the residential portion, there will be 812 units, 735 of which will be apartments that will occupy the podium, the shorter tower and the lower floors of the taller sibling. The remaining 77 planned units are part of the One Chicago Residences collection, which come with their own private amenities and are housed in the taller tower 44th floor. Current listings range from 1,271-square-foot one-bedrooms to a 10,412-square-foot, five-bedroom duplex. Prices fall between $1.75 million to $28 million. Power Construction is the contractor behind the $850 million venture, with a full completion expected for mid next year. See our Chicago YIMBY article for more info. Photographs by @jckcrwfrd
    A new set of renderings has been released for Vorn A new set of renderings has been released for Vornado Realty Trust‘s 7.4-million-square-foot Penn District redevelopment in Midtown. Created by DBOX, the images highlight Penn 15, a 1,270-foot supertall designed by Foster + Partners at 15 Penn Plaza. The overall plan aims to transform and revitalize the cityscape between Sixth and Seventh Avenues and West 32nd and West 34th Streets with a total of eight new skyscrapers surrounding the 109-year-old James A. Farley Building and Skidmore Owings & Merrill‘s newly opened Moynihan Train Hall, as well as One and Two Penn Plaza and Madison Square Garden. Two thin parallel vertical columns near the northern and southern ends of each elevation wrap over the top of the roof parapet, giving the impression of binding the multi-story rectangular blocks. Floor-to-ceiling glass makes up the majority of the façade, while the crown appears to be covered in metal grilles hiding extended mechanical units. A final set of outdoor terraces rests behind a tall multi-story wall of glass. Check out our article from last week to see more info about building design and program and additional renderings, which were made by DBOX.
    Looking at the envisioned Penn District complex, a Looking at the envisioned Penn District complex, a massive 7.4-million-square-foot development by Vornado Realty Trust that calls for one of the biggest overhauls and transformations of Midtown, Manhattan. Among the glass and steel skyscrapers will be its centerpiece, a 1,270-foot supertall designed by Foster + Partners at 15 Penn Plaza, aka Penn 15. The sleek curtain wall is divided into a series of rectangular blocks with the ends of each top floor plate making room for landscaped outdoor terraces that overlook the Manhattan skyline. The architectural height would eclipse the Art Deco style Empire State Building by a mere 20 feet, which is only located two avenues to the east. Nonetheless, both structures would equally dominate the skyline and easily invite comparison and contrast between the old and new New York. Rendering by DBOX.
    Last week the Landmarks Preservation Commission ap Last week the Landmarks Preservation Commission approved Project Commodore, a proposed 1,646-foot supertall skyscraper in Midtown East, at a public hearing and vote on Tuesday, February 23, 2021. New renderings further illustrate the 83-story project, which would replace the Grand Hyatt at 175 Park Avenue and rise between the 108-year-old Beaux Arts Grand Central Terminal and the 91-year-old Art Deco Chrysler Building at the corner of East 42nd Street and Lexington Avenue. Skidmore Owings & Merrill is designing and RXR Realty and TF Cornerstone are developing the project, which is set to yield 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 rendering shows Project Commodore and its giant multi-story glass wall suspended between the two corners of steel. These fan outwards to form the intricate base of the supertall, which pay architectural respect with its dimensions, choice of materials, and appearance based on Grand Central Terminal's presence and architecture.
    Looking south at the intersection of Vesey and Gre Looking south at the intersection of Vesey and Greenwich Streets towards the base of Two World Trade Center and its artistic murals, the 110 steel ribs that make up Santiago Calatrava's train hub, Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners' Three World Trade Center, and Fumihiko Maki's Four World Trade Center. Norman Foster's revamped supertall office design has yet to be revealed and hopefully sees some signs of construction resuming in the coming years or so. Meanwhile down at the southern end along the edge of the 16-acre complex would be the rise of Kohn Pedersen Fox's Five World Trade Center, the only tower that will feature residential and affordable housing units amongst the World Trade Center complex, and is slated to be completed by 2028.

    Exterior work is progressing quickly on 1228 Madis Exterior work is progressing quickly on 1228 Madison Avenue, a 20-story residential building on the Upper East Side. Designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects and developed by CBSK Ironstate, a partnership of CB Developers, SK Development, and Ironstate, the property will yield 15 units with interiors by Kelly Behun Studio. The site is located along Madison Avenue between East 88th and 89th Streets, just behind Frank Lloyd Wright’s Guggenheim Museum. The main eastern profile facing Madison Avenue features varying neutral-toned bricks that are hand laid in a running bond closely matching a Flemish bond layout. Light- and dark-colored bricks are asymmetrically spaced out across the fenestration between the grid of windows and their stone window sills and aprons. The upper half of the building remains mostly covered in black netting and scaffolding, though some elements of the stepped back crown on the shorter northern side can be spotted. This includes a series of four interlocked circles carved in stone within a vertically oriented rectangular frame and a number of horizontal limestone lines breaking up the even brick surfaces. Most of the units will come with Juliet balconies and private outdoor spaces. Occupancy at 1228 Madison Avenue is estimated for fall 2021. Construction photographs by @mchlanglo793
    Construction is now complete on Beckford House and Construction is now complete on Beckford House and Beckford Tower, a pair of completed residential buildings in the Yorkville section of Manhattan’s Upper East Side. The 21-story, 215-foot-tall Beckford House at 301 East 81st Street (also addressed as 1562 Second Avenue) and the 31-story Beckford Tower at 301 East 80th Street are designed by Studio Sofield and SLCE Architects and developed by Icon Realty Management, with CM & Associates in charge of construction. The site is located along Second Avenue between East 80th and 81st Streets. New photographs show the completed look of the Brynne Brownstone and Indiana Limestone façades diffusing the light between the grid of windows, some of which feature ornate dark-colored railings. verall the architecture and design of each building contextually fits within the local neighborhood, evoking the classic and traditional New York residential style thanks to its setbacks, regard for detail, and choice of materials.
    Construction at 200 Amsterdam Avenue, the Upper We Construction at 200 Amsterdam Avenue, the Upper West Side’s current tallest skyscraper is approaching the finish line. Designed by Elkus Manfredi Architects and developed by SJP Properties and Mitsui Fudosan America, the topped out 668-foot-tall, 52-story reinforced concrete structure spans 283,000 square feet with the interior designs by CetraRuddy. The skyscraper made and achieved a significant leap towards completion today as New York State’s Appellate Division, First Department, issued its decision on 200 Amsterdam Avenue, ruling in favor of the building’s developers by unanimously overturning the lower court’s ruling that sought to retroactively apply a draft zoning interpretation to the already-constructed building. In this case, it would've proposed the removal of about 20 floors from the top of the edifice. The valid DOB permit for the address has remained in place since 2017 and work progressed unabated. 200 Amsterdam Avenue is expected to finish work in the first quarter of 2021 and open to residents later this summer. Stay tuned for YIMBY's upcoming post about the project and more information about the residence tomorrow at 8:00AM. Photograph by @mchlanglo793
