    Renderings Revealed For SHoP Architects-Designed Skyscraper at 2 Hudson Square, in Lower Manhattan

    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.

    Exterior work is nearing completion on 799 Broadwa Exterior work is nearing completion on 799 Broadway, a 12-story office building in Greenwich Village. Designed by Perkins + Wills and developed by Columbia Property Trust, the 182-foot-tall structure will yield 180,000 square feet of commercial space marketed by JLL. The corner lot is located at the intersection of Broadway and East 11th Street, and was purchased by Normandy Real Estate Partners and Ares Management in 2016 for $101 million. Recent photos show the curtain wall progress since our last update in October, when the floor-to-ceiling glass and white paneling was just beginning to be installed on the reinforced concrete superstructure. Now the façade covers nearly the entire building. The building’s dynamic design is best expressed on the eastern elevation facing Broadway, with the staggered levels making way for multiple outdoor landscaped terraces. The longer northern side that runs along East 11th Street has a more conventional tiered approach with the curtain wall uniformly stretching the length of the block. YIMBY estimates 799 Broadway to be finished sometime before the end of the year. Construction photographs by @mchlanglo793
    Looking west across the East River at Kohn Pederse Looking west across the East River at Kohn Pedersen Fox's 1,401-foot tall One Vanderbilt for SL Green. This is the current tallest structure in Midtown East. Across from Grand Central Terminal to the east is the Art Deco-style Chrsyler Building and the United Nations. This view would dramatically change later this decade as the eventual rise of Skidmore Owings & Merrill's 1,486-foot tall 175 Park Avenue, aka Project Commodore, would visually squeeze itself in front of One Vanderbilt and behind the Chrysler Building. Among the three supertalls would be three distinct crowns that would collectively illuminate at nighttime. Photograph by @mchlanglo793

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.
