    Below is a diagram that outlines the buildings alo Below is a diagram that outlines the buildings along 42nd Street between One Vanderbilt and the Chrysler Building and how the scale between each when compared with Skidmore Owings & Merrill's 175 Park Avenue, aka Project Commodore, is seen. This also gives a true sense of how Grand Central will be surrounded by two equally mammoth 21st century buildings. Also subtly included in the diagram is the faint building massing of J.P. Morgan's 1,425-foot tall 270 Park Avenue, which YIMBY covered earlier this week in Monday's article. Overall, SOM's 83-story, 1,486-foot tall behemoth and the rest of the supertalls in Midtown East will forever transform the verticality and skyline of Manhattan with a new set of glass and steel giants.  RXR Realty and TF Cornerstone are developing Project Commodore, which is slated 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.
    Exterior construction is now complete for Chicago' Exterior construction is now complete for Chicago's 800 W Fulton Market in the Fulton Market district. Rising 300 feet, the 19-story edifice is now one of the tallest buildings in the West Loop area. The full-block project is bound by W Fulton Market, N Green Street, W Wayman Street, and N Halsted street, and has replaced a series of low- and mid-rise masonry buildings. Marketed as “800 Fulton,” the roughly half-million square-foot structure has been developed by Thor Equities in collaboration with joint venture partner QuadReal. Programming consists of 431,000 square feet of Class A office space and 35,000 square feet of retail. Tenant amenities will offer a two-story open lobby, a fully equipped fitness center, a conference center, a penthouse lounge, a rooftop deck, and a total of nine private terrace spaces on select floors. Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill is the design architect, whose unique tapered massing is accentuated by six triangular terraced setbacks. Facade features include a red brick as the primary cladding material, with interspersed glass window-walls and dark metal accents. Additionally, the sides of the structure are lined with a teal metal X-bracing to reduce the need for interior columns, while bringing a contemporary spin on the neighborhood’s industrial context. See our Chicago YIMBY article for details about the office amenities. Photographs by @jckcrwfrd
    Sales recently launched for 378 West End Avenue, a Sales recently launched for 378 West End Avenue, and the brick exterior for COOKFOX’s topped out 18-story project is quickly rising. Alchemy Properties is developing the Upper West Side residential complex, which incorporates the adjacent restoration of a 1915 Palazzo-style building located at the corner of West End Avenue and West 78th Street, and sits to the north of the abutting Collegiate Church. Inside 378 West End Avenue will be 58 one- to six- bedroom residences, including a collection of penthouses with pricing upon request, pre-war proportions, high ceiling heights, and oversized windows. Prices for one-bedrooms start at $1,795,000, two-bedrooms for $3,525,000, three-bedrooms for $5,550,000, four-bedrooms for $6,995,000, and five-bedrooms for $9,895,000. Alchemy Properties and Compass are working together to market the condominiums. There will be a total of three distinct facades made with granite, limestone, and brick, alongside ornamental polychrome terracotta. See last Wednesday's article for more details about the interiors and the 11,000 square feet of amenities. Construction photographs by @mchlanglo793

Located in the Financial District, developed by Lightstone, and Hill West Architects as the architect of record, the topped out reinforced concrete skyscraper had almost all of its dark arched panels in place and only small portions along the base and mechanical extension above the top floors of the edifice are left to be finished. Corcoran Sunshine is handling sales and marketing of the homes, where prices are expected to range from around $1,300,000 for a one-bedroom apartment to $20,000,000 for a four-bedroom, full-floor penthouse. Work is expected to be completed later this year. Photograph by @mchlanglo793
    Construction is about to go vertical on 606 West 3 Construction is about to go vertical on 606 West 30th Street, a 545-foot-tall residential skyscraper in Hudson Yards. Designed by Ismael Leyva Architects and developed by Lalezarian Properties, the 42-story building will yield 312,350 square feet, of which 192,780 will be dedicated to residential space and 14,240 for commercial use. The property is located between Eleventh Avenue and West Street near the border of West Chelsea. Recent photos show the inner core walls, columns, and perimeter foundation walls reaching street level, while rebar protrudes upward in preparation for the start of construction on the ground floor. The last photograph is the adjacent 601 West 29th Street, an already topped-out, 695-foot-tall skyscraper by FXCollaborative for Douglaston Development. A completion date for 606 West 30th Street is unclear, but it may be finalized sometime within next year. Construction photographs by @mchlanglo793

    A new rendering has been revealed for 141 East 47t A new rendering has been revealed for 141 East 47th Street, a 35-story residential tower in Midtown East. Excavation is underway for the 183,310-square-foot project designed by Ismael Leyva Architects and developed by Silverback Development. The property will contain a mix of studios through two-bedroom units averaging around $1.5 million apiece, as well as 5,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. The new illustration features greater detail than the previous rendering from our last article, showcasing the illumination of the ornate Art Deco-inspired crown. Depicted at dusk, 141 East 47th Street is shown with numerous setbacks toward the top of its symmetrical massing, a design that pays homage to the classic style of New York’s earliest skyscrapers. The edifice is enclosed in a uniform façade of floor-to-ceiling glass and thin dark-colored metal panels that emphasize the verticality of the structure among the abutting low-rise neighbors. The perimeter columns that span the ground level and first several stories feature lighting similar to the crown components, adding to the building’s cohesiveness. 141 East 47th Street is estimated to be completed sometime next year.

    A new rendering reveals what appears to be a 12-st A new rendering reveals what appears to be a 12-story glass commercial tower at 278 8th Avenue in Chelsea, Manhattan. The 40,000-square-foot property extends from West 23rd Street to West 24th Street and is owned by JJ Operating, who purchased 258-278 8th Avenue for $107 million in 2017. The site is currently occupied by a two-story, 25-foot-tall commercial structure with 198 feet of frontage. It houses a Gap retail store, New York Sports Club facility, and a CVS pharmacy store. It is also steps from 23rd Street subway station, serviced by the C and E trains. Although the architect is unknown for the rendering, the image depicts an interesting design with a variety of large glass windows, some double-height, and light and dark cementitious material. The structure towers over the lower rise edifices that line the busy intersection of 8th Avenue and West 23rd Street. It’s unclear what the building will be used for, but there are several landscaped setbacks and one triple-height terrace on the east elevation. Demolition permits were filed this week for 258 8th Avenue, with Breeze National Demolition is the applicant of record. However, no new construction permits have been filed.
