    Looking at the base of SOM's 175 Park Avenue, aka Looking at the base of SOM's 175 Park Avenue, aka Project Commodore for RXR Realty and TF Cornerstone, which would rise on the current site of the existing Grand Hyatt and one day rise to the planned 1,486-foot tall roof parapet as a mixed-use office and hotel edifice. Located between Grand Central Terminal to the west and both the Chrysler Building and Lexington Avenue to the east, each corner of the massive 83-story supertall would feature a fan of massive steel columns that rise and connect to four hidden concrete mega columns, a wrap around skin of fluted panels that mimic the stone column textures of Grand Central Terminal, and architectural screens interspersed on the upper sections of the base. Meanwhile the central atrium space will have diagonal glass panels hung on a suspended frame, which appears to reach a height of over 100 feet high and align with the base of Grand Central Terminal's roof line where the iconic Tiffany clock rests upon. Many other architectural aspects for Project Commodores' base incorporate certain facade elements and proportions of the adjacent train station, such as the steel column spacing and warm color of the stone at ground level to pay homage to Grand Central Terminal's timeless presence.
    Royal Palm Companies and OneWorld Developers expec Royal Palm Companies and OneWorld Developers expect construction of their proposed Legacy Hotel & Residences at the multi-building Miami Worldcenter complex to occur soon. Designed by Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design Inc., the mixed-use skyscraper is anticipated to rise approximately 661-feet into the downtown Miami skyline with 50 stories. The site is addressed as 930 Northeast 1st Avenue and will have Legacy Miami Worldcenter operate the hotel, which will take up the lower half of the tower and offer up to 260 rooms of various configurations. Hotel guests would enter through the 40-foot tall lobby and will also be able to take advantage of a one-of-a-kind International Business Lounge, a grand ballroom, event spaces, a full-service cafe and a signature restaurant. The residences will be found in the upper half of the structure, offering up to 290 MicroLuxe-themed residences ranging from studios, 1 bedrooms, 2 bedrooms equipped with a terrace, and duplex two-bedrooms. Each vary between 362 square feet and 950 square feet and come fully furnished with pricing starting at $300,000. Groundbreaking is expected to occur this year, with completion around 2023. See our Florida YIMBY article for more extensive details about the project.
    Looking east towards not only at Skidmore Owings & Looking east towards not only at Skidmore Owings & Merrill's Project Commodore, but also Kohn Pedersen Fox's One Vanderbilt, William Van Alen's Chrysler Building, the new 270 Park Avenue, and Rafael Vinoly's 432 Park Avenue to the north. These five supertalls would collectively dominate this section of the Manhattan skyline, each encompassing five different and unique architectural designs and crowns made possible with a mix of old and new feats of engineering and construction technology.
    YIMBY has a new batch of renderings and diagrams t YIMBY has a new batch of renderings and diagrams that depict Skidmore Owings & Merrill‘s upcoming ground-up mixed-use supertall at 175 Park Avenue, aka Project Commodore. The 83-story Midtown East, Manhattan behemoth is slated to rise on the site of the Grand Hyatt between the 108-year old Beaux Arts style Grand Central Terminal and the 91-year-old Art Deco style Chrysler Building at the corner of East 42nd Street and Lexington Avenue. RXR Realty and TF Cornerstone are developing the massive structure, which also appears to have gotten a height reduction to 1,486 feet tall, as opposed to the 1,646-foot tall architectural height previously intended. Inside will be 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 view we see here is looking south towards Lower Manhattan over Park Avenue.
    Curtain wall installation is progressing on 601 We Curtain wall installation is progressing on 601 West 29th Street, a 695-foot-tall residential skyscraper on the border of Hudson Yards and West Chelsea. Designed by FXCollaborative, developed by Douglaston Development, and constructed by Levine Builders, the 60-story structure is also known as “Tower A” in a two-building development along with the adjacent 606 West 30th Street, and will yield 703 market-rate and 235 affordable housing residences, 50,000 square feet of amenity space, and 15,000 square feet of retail space. The project site is bound by Eleventh Avenue to the east, West 29th Street to the south, and West 30th Street to the north. Recent photos show the tremendous progress on the skyscraper since our last update in December, when the reinforced concrete superstructure had just passed the halfway mark. Since topping out in late February, work has now shifted to the installation of the curtain wall, which has risen above the podium and is now making its way up the L-shaped massing. 601 West 29th Street is expected to be ready for occupancy by next summer.

All these supertall office and residential towers make a distinct and unique impression over the Midtown skyline and are well defined by their signature pinnacles and architectural building massing.

    Construction is continuing to rise on Two Manhatta Construction is continuing to rise on Two Manhattan West, a 935-foot-tall commercial skyscraper in Midtown West. Designed by Skidmore Owings & Merrill and developed by Brookfield, the 58-story office tower stands at the corner of West 31st Street and Ninth Avenue, directly to the south of One Manhattan West, its 996-foot-tall architecturally identical sibling. The building will yield 2 million square feet and is expected to cost $2 billion. Recent photos from along Ninth Avenue show the sunlight and blue sky reflecting off the sleek glass panels. The safety cocoon component was also recently put into place, and more sections of it were seen on West 31st Street waiting to be lifted upward and attached to the edges of the steel perimeter. Like One Manhattan West, the lower levels of Two Manhattan West will have the largest floor plates in terms of square footage and will gradually reduce in size as the skyscraper nears its pinnacle. It was last reported that Two Manhattan West is slated to be finished in 2023. See our article for the full set of photographs, taken by @mchlanglo793

The three distinct residential supertalls are the current tallest structures along 57th Street, aka Billioanire's Row, and dominate the two ends and middle of the coveted corridor between Park Avenue and Eighth Avenue. Meanwhile the Citigroup Center at 601 Lexington Avenue also makes a bold and iconic appearance over Midtown with its sloped southern roof and bands of wrap around glass windows.

    Façade installation is progressing on Foster + Pa Façade installation is progressing on Foster + Partners‘ 50 Hudson Yards, a 1,011-foot commercial supertall in Hudson Yards. Developed by Related Companies and Oxford Properties, the 58-story office skyscraper is the final structure in the first phase of Hudson Yards and is to be the largest structure by volume, yielding 2.9 million square feet. The site is bound by West 34th Street to the north, Tenth Avenue to the east, West 33rd Street to the south, and Hudson Boulevard to the west. Recent photos show the state of the glass and stone curtain wall since our last update in mid-February, when the tower had just finished topping out. The façade is now roughly three-quarters of the way to the flat parapet. The safety cocoon netting is being taken apart, while several portions of the metal-framed crown are being welded into place. The fireproofing of the columns, beams, and girders is rapidly taking shape and only several floors below the pinnacle remain to be enclosed in the envelope. It’s possible that the entire curtain wall could be completed by sometime this summer. 50 Hudson Yards is aiming for LEED certification and is expected to finish construction and open sometime next year. A finalized date has yet to be publicly disclosed. Photographs by @mchlanglo793
