In late January, the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) on behalf of the City of New York released a Request For Proposals (RFP) for a nearly 600-foot-tall, 60-story residential skyscraper at 832 Washington Street in the Meatpacking District of Manhattan. The City is planning to redevelop the public land to create 600 homes alongside an expansion of the adjacent Whitney Museum and the maintenance and operations (M&O) space for the High Line, and new ground-floor retail space. The 10,000-square-foot site for the new tower is part of the Gansevoort Square master plan which is bound by Little West 12th Street to the north; the Whitney Museum and Gansevoort Street to the south; Washington Street to the east; and 10th Avenue, West Street, and the Hudson River to the west.
Re-cladding work is nearing completion at 20 Hudson Yards, a partial retail-to-office conversion in Hudson Yards, Manhattan. Designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox and developed by Related Companies, the project involves the repurposing of the top three levels of the Shops & Restaurants at Hudson Yards mall into a 445,000-square-foot office for Wells Fargo. The conversion will accommodate a capacity of 2,300 employees, allowing the financial institution to consolidate most of its New York workforce into one location, along with the nine stories it also occupies at 30 Hudson Yards. The property is located along Tenth Avenue by the intersection with West 31st Street.

The building yields 22 rental units in one- to three-bedroom layouts with an average scope of 785 square feet, as well as a cellar level and a 22-foot-long rear yard. ESG Grand Street LLC is listed as the owner of the property, which is located on an interior lot between Lorimer Street to the east and Union Avenue to the west.
