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
Back in January 2021, JDS Development Group announ Back in January 2021, JDS Development Group announced a 2.5 million-square-foot project in the Brickell neighborhood of Miami now known as 1 Southside Park. Addressed as 1133 Southwest 2nd Avenue, the SHoP Architects-designed structure is anticipated to rise up to 60-stories and top out at 780-feet, serving as a mixed-use skyscraper. James Corner Field Operations is the landscape architect, O’Donell Dannwolf and Partners Architects is the architect of record, Vidaris is selected for the facade and waterproofing, and Rockwell Group is designing interiors. An updated state-of-the-art Fire Station No.4 will be built within the ground floor along Southwest 2nd Avenue and Southwest 12th Street, to replace the former station. 1 Southside Park will be a mixed-use skyscraper, adding over 1 million square feet within 1,175 residential units, 190,000 square feet of office space, a world-class Treehouse Hotel by Barry Sternlicht featuring 191 rooms, 111,000 combined square feet of commercial/retail/restaurant as well as healthcare/wellness facilities and hotel convention and event space, a 32,000-square-foot fire station and up to 1000 parking spaces .Work is in the pre-development demolition stages, with a scheduled completion date set for 2023.
Exterior work is progressing on The Fifth Avenue H Exterior work is progressing on The Fifth Avenue Hotel at 250 Fifth Avenue in NoMad. Designed by Perkins Eastman, PBDW Architects, and Martin Brudnizki Design Studio and developed by Flaneur Hospitality, the project involves the construction a 230-foot-tall, 24-story tower and the renovation of the adjacent 116-year-old McKim, Mead & White-designed building. Recent photos show the finished look of the historic structure’s renovated façade at the corner of Fifth Avenue and West 28th Street. The scaffolding and black netting that obscured the building at the time of our last update in late October has been removed, revealing the elegantly restored fenestration that brings the low-rise bank structure back to its pristine state from the early 20th century. Meanwhile, façade work is making swift progress on the new reinforced concrete extension on the western end of the site. The Fifth Avenue hotel will contain 153 hotel rooms, with 129 in the new addition and the remaining 24 in the historic structure, which YIMBY last reported is being called “The Mansion.” Work should likely wrap up before the end of the year.

Located amongst the cluster of skyscrapers that ma Located amongst the cluster of skyscrapers that make up the Philadelphia skyline is the rise of Riverwalk South at 60 North 23rd Street, which is approaching its full height of 362 feet and installation of the glass and metal cladding has commenced. Designed by Gensler and developed by PMC Property Group, the Riverwalk complex will bring 711 new residential units to the neighborhood, with the south tower holding 380 apartments. The south tower now rises 21 stories above ground, with just 11 floors left to the roof, as concrete work has been progressing faster as the weather gets warmer. Center City West will see a great skyline boost once the 32-story concrete structure rises to its pinnacle. Progress has slightly slowed down during the winter months, but photographs show the recent amount of activity. With the current pace of construction, the tower may top out in the summer, with steel following on the north and south side of the roof. Riverwalk South is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2022. Construction photographs by Thomas Koloski.
Construction is nearing completion on One Essex Cr Construction is nearing completion on One Essex Crossing, a 14-story full-block development at 202 Broome Street on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Designed by CetraRuddy for Delancey Street Associates, which is comprised of BFC Partners, L+M Development Partners, Taconic Partners, The Prusik Group, and Goldman Sachs Urban Investment Group, the mixed-use project will add a mix of residential and office space to the nine-building Essex Crossing master plan. Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group is handling sales for One Essex Crossing, with prices ranging from $890,000 for a studio to $6,689,000 for a duplex penthouse. Recent photos show the state of progress with the mechanical hoist remaining attached to the western elevation, but should be disassembled in the coming weeks. A few other signs of construction include sidewalk scaffolding on the main northern profile facing Delancey Street, metal gates and construction boards on the opposite side along Broome Street, and orange netting and temporary wooden railings around the perimeter of the setback where the landscaped terrace will be located. Work should soon wrap up and occupancy at One Essex Crossing is anticipated later this year. See our New York YIMBY article for details about the homes and numerous amenities.

This week the New York State Court of Appeals shut This week the New York State Court of Appeals shut down a lawsuit opposing the development of four new skyscrapers in Lower Manhattan’s Two Bridges neighborhood. This legal move upheld the August ruling by Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court in favor of JDS Development Group, CIM Group, L+M Development Partners, and Starrett Corporation, who aim to build four more towers along the Two Bridges waterfront on the Lower East Side. In 2018, Manhattan Borough president Gale A. Brewer and the New York City Council challenged the proposal’s approval by the City Planning Commission on the basis that the new construction required special permits and had to undergo the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) process. A lower court decision in 2019 ruled in favor of Brewer. Now, according to the State Court of Appeals, plans for four new supertalls will face an easier review process and could add more than 2,700 residential units to the area. The buildings include a 730-foot-tall building at 259 Clinton Street by Starrett, a 1,008-foot-tall rental tower at 247 Cherry Street developed by JDS, and a two-tower development rising 798 feet at 260 South Street co-developed by CIM and L+M. Community additions include 690 affordable housing units, $15 million in local park improvements, $12.5 million to rehabilitate a neighborhood NYCHA complex, and a $40 million improvement project to the East Broadway subway station.
Progress is being made on Cove, a massive mixed-us Progress is being made on Cove, a massive mixed-use project in Jersey City. Argent Ventures, which owns 12.4 acres of the development land, has joined forces with H&R Real Estate Investment Trust, to redevelop the property adjacent to Liberty State Park. Preliminary plans by Argent Ventures called for a mixed-use waterfront development with 1.6 million square feet of laboratory and office space and 1,544 residential units. Residents would have clear views of both downtown Jersey City and Manhattan. The first phase of development, recently completed, involved environmental remediation on the land that borders Aetna Street and Jersey Avenue. The second phase is expected to start this summer and comprises permitting and infrastructure improvement design. Construction on the two-tower mixed-use buildings would then begin in 2022. Check out our YIMBY article from yesterday to see more of the renderings and details about what will be built and included at the Cove.
Construction has topped out on 555 West 38th Stree Construction has topped out on 555 West 38th Street, a 570-foot-tall residential skyscraper in Hudson Yards. Developed by Rockrose and designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects with SLCE as the architect of record, the 52-story structure will add 598 rental units to this growing section of Midtown. The site is located along Eleventh Avenue between West 38th Street and West 39th Street, directly across from the Jacob K. Javits Center. Recent photos show the significant progress on the project since our last update in December, when the reinforced concrete superstructure had passed the halfway mark. Now, the glass curtain wall has been installed up to a similar mark on the unconventional massing. Adding texture to the all-glass façade are thin blue panels forming an oversized rectangular grid that follows the slanted edges. 555 West 38th Street is planned to complete construction in the fall of 2022.
