    Exterior work is nearing completion on 2505 Broadw Exterior work is nearing completion on 2505 Broadway, a 19-story residential building on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Designed by ODA for Adam America Real Estate, the 75,000-square-foot structure will yield 44 units near the corner of Broadway and West 93rd Street. Ariel Tirosh and Douglas Elliman Development Marketing are the exclusive sales and marketing agents for the residences, which range from one- to four-bedroom layouts, many of which feature private terraces. Photographs by @mchlanglo793 show the majority of the gray brick installed around the floor-to-ceiling windows and most of the scaffolding and construction netting disassembled from the upper floors. This reveals the numerous stepped setbacks on the main eastern elevation facing Broadway. On the mostly blank southern elevation is an irregular pattern of staggered, vertically-oriented rectangular outlines imprinted against the flat surface. The mechanical extension above the roof parapet is enclosed with bricks and black metal grilles. 2505 Broadway’s home inventory will also include two townhouse-like duplex residences and a four-bedroom penthouse with its own private rooftop terrace with 360-degree views of the Hudson River and George Washington Bridge. Each residential floor will yield one to two residences. YIMBY last reported that 2505 Broadway should likely be completed at the end of this year.
    Last Tuesday YIMBY got to go on an exclusive tour Last Tuesday YIMBY got to go on an exclusive tour of Summit One Vanderbilt, New York City's newest upcoming four-story indoor-outdoor observatory more than 1,000 feet above the streets of Midtown, Manhattan. Pictured here is one of the most awe-inspiring and breathtaking rooms within the space, called, "Transcendence," which was designed by Kenzo Digital as a two-story room with soaring ceilings and mirrors installed on nearly every single surface. The views looking out toward the city are infinitely reflected on every pane and create different visuals effects of camouflaging the borders and corners of the interior space, along with the physically solid portions of the supertall building with the clear floor-to-ceiling glass panels. Summit One Vanderbilt is slated to open next month to the public on October 21. Photograph by @mchlanglo793
    Exterior work is progressing on Era, a 20-story co Exterior work is progressing on Era, a 20-story condominium building at 251 West 91st Street on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Designed by ODA Architects and developed by Adam America Real Estate and Northlink Capital, the reinforced concrete edifice features a dramatic stepped cantilever and will yield 57 residences at the corner of 91st Street and Broadway. Reuveni Real Estate is exclusively handling the marketing and sales and Urban Atelier Group is the general contractor for the project. Photographs by @mchlanglo793 looking from Broadway show the limestone panels, some with an upward-pointing chevron pattern, being installed on the lower half of the superstructure. Window installation is also nearing the final set of floors. The mechanical extension at the very top remains covered in scaffolding and netting, and the exterior elevator hoist is attached to the southern side of the building. The most noteworthy architecturally feature of the project is the cantilevers hanging over the adjacent Equinox gym. Temporary platforms cover each section as crews put together the outside walls of the northern profile. These will be removed as the project nears completion. Homes at Era start at $2.625 million for a two-bedroom, 1,252-square-foot layout, and range up to $13.5 million for a five-bedroom, 3,524-square-foot unit. A select few will have their own private outdoor terraces. Also part of the inventory are two penthouses, each spanning approximately 3,500 square feet and featuring more than 1,000 square feet of private outdoor space. Era is expected to be finished in 2022. See our NY YIMBY article for the list of amenities and interior renderings.
    Plans were filed by the City of Los Angeles to red Plans were filed by the City of Los Angeles to redevelop a site at 6061 Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, Los Angeles. The project proposal includes the construction of a dome-shaped high-rise office building. Plans call for razing multiple small commercial structures. MAD Architects is responsible for the design concepts and construction. Local design studio SALT Landscape Architects is designing the landscape. Named The Star, the project will bring a new 500,000-square-foot new creative office development. The building facade will rise to a height of 22 stories. Renderings reveal an unconventional and impressive design inspired by the curvilinear forms of Griffith Observatory, Capitol Records Building, Hollywood Bowl, and the Cinerama Dome. The building design features green architecture and is landscaped from top to bottom. Multiple sky gardens, lush planning, and terraced green spaces are embedded in the building. Onsite amenities are inclusive of a domed rooftop deck, space for restaurants, and a funicular cable rail. The cost of developing the project is estimated at $500 million. The estimated construction time has not been revealed yet.

    Structural work reached the 510-foot-tall roof hei Structural work reached the 510-foot-tall roof height of a new 47-story mixed-use skyscraper, located at 300 N Michigan Avenue in The Loop neighborhood of Chicago. The development is a joint-partnership between Sterling Bay and Magellan Development Group, whose plans entail a combination of retail in the base, a hotel on floors six through 15, and apartments on floors 17 through 45. The hotel will be a branded citizenM hotel with 280 keys, while the apartment portion will comprise of 289 dwellings. Hotel guests will have access to an amenity deck on the fourth floor, while apartment inhabitants will find a private rooftop deck with extensive city views on the 46th floor. The design by bKL Architecture is punctuated by a prominent series of trusses on the fourth and fifth floors, creating an open amenity deck area while supporting the overhanging tower above. The upper two floors are set back to allow for the aforementioned outdoor rooftop deck area. As far as the facade, the structure will be clad in a Vision glass curtain wall that changes subtly in its mullion patterning in order to reflect the interior functionality. The $175 million edifice has been built by Linn-Mathes Inc. as the general contractor and Adjustable Concrete Inc. as the concrete contractor. A full opening is expected for next spring.

    Last week, YIMBY once again took a look at the sc Last week, YIMBY once again took a look at the scope of the rebuildng effort at the sacred 16-acre World Trade Center site, which holds the two square footprints of the former Twin Towers that are part of the 9/11 Memorial and Museum. We focus on the active and ongoing construction of the Ronald O. Perelman Performing Arts Center, St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, and the current state of Two and Five World Trade Center. All of which are, or are around, the former trapezoidal superblock that held six of the original World Trade Center buildings bound by West, Vesey, Church, and Liberty Streets. It remains unclear as to when the entire rebuilding process of the World Trade Center will finally come to a much long-awaited conclusion. Numerous factors include many architecturally radical designs, economic and political shifts, technological innovations and interactions with people across the world, a global pandemic, and the concerning environmental and climate changes in recent years, will all continue to contribute to the final outcome of the master plan. YIMBY hopes to see this historically significant section of New York real estate complete its rebirth by the end of the 2020’s and fully fill in the final gaps of the iconic Lower Manhattan skyline. Check out our article published on the 20th anniversary of 9/11 from last Saturday. Photograph by @mchlanglo793
    10 South Van Ness Avenue, a proposed new skyscrape 10 South Van Ness Avenue, a proposed new skyscraper, is the 16th tallest building in the Bay Area planned or built. The 590-foot tower will add nearly a thousand new apartments to the city on top of a 1.2-acre lot in the Civic Center as part of San Francisco’s high-density planned neighborhood, The Hub. Crescent Heights is responsible for the development and Kohn Pedersen Fox is responsible for the design, which features a mix of curtain-wall glass, stone, concrete, and metal frames mixed with biophilic decoration. The integration of climate-specific energy and resource-efficient strategies, and greenery is part of the overall target of zero site emissions. The 55-story tower will contain 1.06 million square feet, with 910,970 square feet for residential use, 29,440 square feet for retail, and 123,090 square feet of parking over 250 cars. Parking will also be included for 382 bicycles. Crescent Heights will spread 31,060 square feet of usable open space across the project between various amenity levels. This includes the rooftop terrace and privately owned public open space. The Crescent Heights website reports the building will contain 984 units, though the recently approved Conditional Use Authorization application describes the structure as having 966 dwelling units, varying in size with 347 studios, 433 one-bedrooms, 165 two-bedrooms, and 21 three-bedroom units. The property, currently occupied by a two-story commercial structure, was purchased in 2014 for $58 million. In July of last year, the developer committed to hiring union labor contractors. According to project planning applications, construction is expected to last 36 months with an anticipated price tag of $300 million. Check out the rest of the news about this exciting reveal and story on SF YIMBY.
    The proposed two-skyscraper development River Ring The proposed two-skyscraper development River Ring, designed by Bjarke Ingels Group and developed by Two Trees Management, is closer to fruition after Community Board 1 approval. The 3.5-acre project would bring 1,050 homes with 263 affordable housing units, a six-acre circular waterfront park designed by James Corner Field Operations, a YMCA community facility, 2,000 construction jobs, and more than 500 permanent jobs to the Brooklyn waterfront in Williamsburg. The board voted 20-15 Tuesday to support River Ring, with the condition of increasing the affordable housing component from 25 to 50 percent. River Ring is proposed for a pair of vacant rectangular parcels bound by North First Street, North Third Street, and River Street. The waterfront park consists of three acres of public open space and three acres of protected in-river access, as well as the creation of two new beaches. The design of the waterfront park would protect the complex and other inland properties from future storm surges, reducing the possibility of flooding. Next in the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure process, the proposal will go to Eric Adams, the Brooklyn borough president and then the city’s Planning Commission. The borough president will hold a public meeting later in September to allow for community feedback. River Ring is estimated to be completed by 2030.
