    Construction is taking shape on the High Line Moyn Construction is taking shape on the High Line Moynihan Connector, a nearly 1,200-foot-long extension of the High Line that will connect the elevated park with the five-building Manhattan West complex in Midtown West. Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in collaboration with James Corner Field Operations, the connector will comprise two 600-foot-long bridges built by Turner Construction Company. Work is proceeding under a $50 million public-private partnership between Empire State Development (ESD), Friends of the High Line, and Brookfield Properties, and will culminate in easier access to Moynihan Train Hall and Penn Station. The connector runs along West 30th Street between Ninth and Tenth Avenues and turns 90 degrees to the north at Dyer Avenue to reach the Manhattan West plaza above West 31st Street. At the time of our last update in March, work was still progressing at ground level on the foundations for the support beams. Now photographs by @mchlanglo793 show a good section of the steel-framed bridge has been completed along West 30th Street. The inverted trapezoidal concrete decking above slopes inward toward a series of paired steel columns that are mounted onto previously formed square footings. These vertical elements, along with secondary metal supports seen in some of the photographs below, will hold up a large amount of soil, trees, and shrubbery, irrigation pipes, and the pedestrian path. ​Renderings show The Woodland Bridge segment that connects to the High Line, followed by The Timber Bridge, the final leg reaching Manhattan West’s Magnolia Court. Its structural framing is made with an open-air Warren truss design that will be assembled from sustainably sourced wood and lined with additional steel decking and bronze handrails. ​YIMBY last reported that the High Line Moynihan Connector is expected to be finished in May 2023, as stated on the construction board.
    The Draft Environmental Impact Report has been pub The Draft Environmental Impact Report has been published for Icon-Echo, a mixed-use development to reshape 2.1 acres by San Jose City Hall with housing and office space. The document provides local neighbors in Downtown San Jose with an opportunity to provide input about the project. Urban Catalyst is responsible for the proposal. The project is part of the Urban Catalyst Opportunity Zone Fund II.  Demolition will be required for the existing site, which features a gas station, church, surface parking, and three small commercial buildings. The new project will be addressed as 147 East Santa Clara Street. Construction will start on the two WRNS Studios-designed towers, both 268 feet tall and connected by a below-grade garage. The street level will feature as many as ten commercial spaces spanning 8,500 square feet. Each structure will also feature a significant quantity of parking, a total of 992 spaces with 630 spaces for office employees, and 332 for residents, though 263 of that could be shared for office use. GLS Landscape Architects is the landscape architect. The Northern Tower will contain 27 floors for as many as 415 units according to the Draft EIR, though the developer website states it will include 389 apartments. Residential amenities will feature a podium-topping pool deck with fire pits and outdoor dining furniture on the fifth floor. An indoor-outdoor fitness center will be included for all residents. The first four levels will feature above-grade parking and some housing, while the top two floors will include the high-end penthouse units. The Southern Tower will contain 21 floors with more generous ceiling heights. The building features 525,000 square feet of office area above eight levels of above-grade parking. The third, fifth, and seventh floors will be partially occupied by offices. ​ The project is located within the Downtown Primary Commercial zoning district and the Downtown Employment Priority Area overlay. Construction is expected to start as early as next year, with the crews taking three years from groundbreaking to completion to finish the tower. See our SF Yimby article for more info and details.
    Construction is now rising on 100 Flatbush Avenue, Construction is now rising on 100 Flatbush Avenue, a 44-story residential building in the Alloy Block multi-tower complex in Downtown Brooklyn. Designed and developed by Alloy Development, the 482-foot-tall structure will yield 441 units, with 45 reserved for affordable housing. The project was initially slated to feature 100,000 square feet of office space, but this has been scrapped in favor of 184 additional apartments. Urban Atelier Group is the contractor for the property, which is located on a trapezoidal plot bound by Flatbush Avenue to the northeast, State Street to the southwest, and Third Avenue to the northwest. Photographs by @mchlanglo793 show the reinforced concrete superstructure is a couple of floors above street level, with rebar protruding for the columns in preparation for the formation of the next levels. The construction crane has been assembled and towers over the project site. Tall metal scaffolding temporarily sits between the first and second floors as the concrete settles. ​100 Flatbush Avenue features a Flatiron-esque massing that incorporates three shallow setbacks on the way up to its flat parapet. We could likely see the edifice reach a quarter of its full height by the end of summer and get close to the halfway mark by the end of the year. Each setback and slight reduction in floor area should help speed the pace of work. The project is set to become New York City’s first all-electric tower with all functions powered by electricity, including the use of induction cooktops, heat pump dryers, hot water, and HVAC. Homes are situated from the third through 41st floors, with the majority of the residential amenities housed within the podium. These include a fitness center, flexible workspace, and an outdoor rooftop swimming pool. ​YIMBY last reported that 100 Flatbush Avenue is expected to be completed in the first half of 2024, while the taller 80 Flatbush Avenue is anticipated to take three years to build and conceivably be fully realized by 2027. See our New York YIMBY article for more details on 80 Flatbush Avenue and the two upcoming grade schools.
    The tower crane has now been installed for 920 N W The tower crane has now been installed for 920 N Wells Street in Chicago's Near North Side, where Chicago-based developer JDL has planned an 18-story mixed-use building. This structure is the first stepping stone in a massive new development known as North Union, occupying 8.1 acres on property formerly owned by the Moody Bible Institute. Bolstered by JDL’s partnership with Square Mile Capital and Intercontinental Real Estate, North Union will provide six million square feet of new floor space (equivalent to roughly 1.5 Willis Towers), 2,656 residential units, a wide range of commercial spaces, and over 100,000 square feet of public areas. With its tallest tower approaching 700 feet, the $1.3 billion scheme will shift the northern skyline’s center of gravity further west. ​Programming within 920 N Wells will include 10,000 square feet of ground-level retail topped by 228 rental apartments. Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture is the firm behind the design of both the current construction and the larger master plan. The exterior will be made up of a mix of glass and white metal floor slips , culminating in an amenity penthouse and rooftop deck. There will also be an integrated parking garage for 105 vehicles as well as a bike room with 207 total spaces. ​The next phase of North Union will be a 25-story tower directly south of 920 N Wells Street at 868 N Wells Street. Similar in its design and also mixed-use in its programming, this second high rise will house 428 for-rent apartments and 12,000 square feet of retail. Already, fencing around this second site has been placed, though no permits have yet been filed or issued. Power Construction is serving as the general contractor for both buildings, each of which is slated for a 2023 completion. The entire North Union development process is expected to fully wrap up by 2026.
    Renovation work is moving along on One Times Squar Renovation work is moving along on One Times Square, a 26-story tower at 1475 Broadway in Times Square. Designed by S9 Architecture and developed by Jamestown with SLCE Architects as the architect of record, the project will bring a $500 million 21st-century facelift to the 395-foot-tall trapezoidal-shaped structure, incorporating an all-new façade, new LED displays, and an outdoor platform. AECOM Tishman is the general contractor for the project, which is bound by West 42nd Street to the south, Seventh Avenue to the west, West 43rd Street to the north, and the pedestrianized section of Broadway. Photographs by @mchlanglo793 show the building stripped of most of its advertisements and video boards. Renderings show a new configuration of LED screens and a whole new envelope on the steel-framed structure. The front side facing Times Square will stay fairly the same with only a slight alteration at the top of the tall rectangular LED display. It will make room for a glass railing at the end of an outdoor viewing platform, which includes a cantilevering walkway. Gone is the antiquated marble and metal cladding previously designed by Smith, Smith, Haines, Lundberg & Waehler that fully stripped the original Italian Renaissance-style façade when Allied Chemical moved into One Times Square in the mid 1960s. What will take its place is a dark oversized grid of black steel columns and beams and new floor-to-ceiling glass. ​Right now is a good opportunity to see the 1960s curtain wall before its removed. The interiors will include ground-floor retail space with a new tenant yet to be announced, 12 floors leased by Jamestown, six floors dedicated as a museum telling the history of the building and Times Square as a whole, with augmented and virtual reality experiences, and finally a wrap-around observatory that appears to be accessed by a pair of glass elevators attached to the eastern side of the structure. Construction will occur over a 27-month time frame with no disruptions to the advertisements flashing 24/7 on the northern face of One Times Square  and finish in the summer of 2024.
    New building permits have been filed for 10 South New building permits have been filed for 10 South Van Ness Avenue, the sixth tallest project in the Bay Area’s pipeline. The 590-foot residential tower would create 966 new homes from a triangular 1.2-acre lot between Market and Mission Street in San Francisco’s Civic Center. Crescent Heights is responsible for the development. Kohn Pedersen Fox is responsible for the design. The imposing tower features a mix of  curtain-wall glass, stone, concrete, and metal frames mixed with biophilic decoration. The property is located in the heart of the Market & Octavia Area Plan, also known as The Hub. The recently-filed permits estimate construction will cost $430 million, a figure not inclusive of all development costs. The overall price tag is certain to exceed the estimated construction cost. 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 for 255 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. Unit sizes will vary with 347 studios, 433 one-bedrooms, 165 two-bedrooms, and 21 three-bedrooms. ​The development has been issued a CEQA clearance, with approval filed for the Downtown Exception, Conditional Use Authorization, and Zoning Variance applications. A few other steps for approval are required before the demolition, and new building permits can be issued. Planning department staff previously shared that Crescent Heights purchased and transferred 1979 Mission Street to the City of San Francisco, writing, “this purchase and transfer satisfies Crescent Heights’ affordable housing obligations under section 415 (the inclusionary housing program) for their project located at 10 South Van Ness.” The city will develop the site to be 100% affordable housing. ​ The property was purchased in 2014 for $58 million. Construction is expected to last 36 months. No construction timeline has been announced yet.​
    Façade work is coming to a close on The Spiral, a Façade work is coming to a close on The Spiral, a 66-story commercial supertall at 66 Hudson Boulevard in Hudson Yards. Designed by Bjarke Ingels Group and developed by Tishman Speyer, the 1,041-foot-tall skyscraper will yield 2.85 million square feet of office space and is expected to cost nearly $3.7 billion. Turner Construction Company is the general contractor, Banker Steel provided the steel work, and Permasteelisa is serving as the contractor for the glass enclosure for The Spiral, which occupies a full city block between Tenth and Eleventh Avenues and 34th and 35th Streets. Since our last construction update in March, photographs by @mchalnglo793 show the floor-to-ceiling glass panels have filled in the gap on the southern elevation where the construction elevator was formerly attached. The secondary elevator remains fixed to the northern face of the tower for the time being. More glass installation has also progressed around the podium. The six-story full-block podium will feature a lobby with ceiling heights up to 28 feet and entrances along Hudson Boulevard East and Tenth Avenue, as well as 18,000 square feet of retail space. ​ ​Current tenants that have signed on include Turner Construction Company with a 13-year, 75,000-square-foot lease, Pfizer at 746,000 square feet, Alliance Bernstein at 166,000 square feet, HSBC with more than 265,000 square feet across three podium floors, NewYork-Presbyterian with a 75,000-square-foot suite on the second floor, and Debevoise & Plimpton LLP at 531,000 square feet. YIMBY last announced that The Spiral is expected to be completed later this year.
    Sites plans for a 30-story multifamily mixed-use b Sites plans for a 30-story multifamily mixed-use building have been filed with Fort Lauderdale’s Development Review Committee addressed as 501 Northeast 4th Street in the Downtown Core. The building would rise around 380-feet tall with 441,654 square feet of space, 270 units and 2,680 square feet of ground floor retail. The project is designed by FSMY Architects + Planners with landscaping by Architectural Alliance Landscape and is being proposed for development by Mainstreet NCC Flagler LLC, an entity managed by Paul J. Kilgallon of Mainstreet Capital Partners (Mainstreet). The project is currently dubbed Flagler Sky View, and was scheduled for review on June 14, 2022. The 0.7-acre property is generally located in the Flagler Village neighborhood on the northeast corner of Northeast 4th Street and Northeast 5th Avenue, encompassing the addresses 501, 509, 513 and 515 Northeast 4th Streets. As per the South Florida Business Journal, Mainstreet acquired three of the sites in December 2021 for $9.75 million. 515 NE 4th Street is under contract from 515 Inc. ​ ​As per the site plans, Flagler Sky View will have usable open space consisting of a plaza at the southeast corner with raised planters and an outdoor seating area along NE 4th Street. The podium rises 7-stories, which is the maximum allowance in the area. The ground floor would be activated to the greatest extent, fit with an aluminum storefront system with clear glass, slat cladding, grey aluminum and smooth stucco. Residents would be welcomed by a residential lobby, a co-work area, and commercial space at the intersection. The parking garage would not be visible along any street frontages thanks to an architectural mesh screen. The building tops out at 355-feet, and the addition of the roof parapet and screening mechanisms on the roof raises it up to 380-feet. All mechanical and rooftop equipment would be adequately screened. Units range from 512 and 1,316 square feet as studios, one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms and two-bedrooms with dens. The parking garage would accommodate 322 vehicles. The amenities would be located on the 8th floor just above the parking garage.
