Renderings have been published for a three-tower a Renderings have been published for a three-tower apartment proposal at 420 South 2nd Street and 420 South 3rd Street in Downtown San Jose, California. The project is being reviewed by the San Jose Historic Landmarks Commission, which is expected to recommend approval for the demolition of existing structures. Urban Community and Terrascape Ventures are the developers for the master plan that will yield 352 apartments, parking for 394 cars, and 11,000 square feet of retail across three structures at full build-out. Ground-level landscaping will provide a public amenity. San Francisco-based Build Group is the contractor, and Guzzardo Partnership is the landscape architect. RMW Architecture is the architect, who focused on modular panels for the building envelope to help hasten the building job and reduce emissions. Construction is scheduled to start with Tower A at 420 South 2nd Street, rising 13 floors to yield 139,450 square feet. The 175-foot structure will include 88 units, ranging in size with 56 one-bedrooms, 22 two-bedrooms, nine three-bedrooms, and one four-bedroom unit. Next, would be the 293-foot Tower B, also at 420 South 2nd Street. The 22-story building will yield 233,330 square feet. Of the 167 apartments, there will be 104 one-bedrooms, 46 two-bedrooms, and 17 three-bedroom units. Finally is the 276-foot Tower C at 420 South 3rd Street. The 20-story building will yield 201,150 square feet, with 3,000 square feet of retail. 152 apartments onsite. Unit sizes will range from 97 one-bedrooms, 40 two-bedrooms, and 15 three-bedroom units.

Below is a rendering looking south at the edifice Below is a rendering looking south at the edifice that has a prominent series of stepped cantilevers on the western elevation. The floor plates gradually increase in multi-level increments with the largest set being on the very last rectangular volume. It also looks like there will be a protected landscaped outdoor rooftop terrace, as well as another atop the podium. The envelope is designed with thin parallel lines with arches beneath each cantilevering portion of the supertall. The plans call for a total of two hotels, an observation deck, a skating rink, and commercial office space that includes a future headquarters space for the NAACP. The team expect this massive undertaking to employ 30,000 New Yorkers over the course of six years, create 15,000 permanent jobs, generate over $5 billion in new tax revenue for New York City and New York state over a 30-year period. 418 11th Avenue would become a major part in the state of New York’s $51 billion investment into constructing, redeveloping, upgrading, and investing in this section of Midtown, Manhattan’s infrastructure, commercial, retail and residential potential. No commencement or completion date for 418 11th Avenue have been announced as of now.
While concrete details remain unconfirmed, the fir While concrete details remain unconfirmed, the first Request for Proposal (RFP) submission for the site of a future supertall north of Related Companies’ Hudson Yards complex has now been unveiled. The ground-up 1,500-foot tall building would become one of the tallest towers in New York City by both architectural and roof height, on the site of the former Hudson Spire proposal. Sir David Adjaye of Adjaye Associates is the architect, while developers include Deryl McKissick, The Peebles Corporation, Exact Capital Group, and the Witkoff Group. The envisioned master plan would sit on a 1.2-acre lot, dubbed “Site K,” at 418 11th Avenue, bound by West 35th and West 36th Street, Hudson Boulevard West, and 11th Avenue. Site K is currently owned by the New York Convention Center Development Corp., which is a subsidiary of Empire State Development and sits across from the Jakob J. Javits Center. The 7 train at Hudson Yards is the closest means of subway access, while the Lincoln Tunnel is only several streets to the north. Check out our NY YIMBY article from this morning for more details about the mammoth project.
Construction has resumed on H Hotel W39, a 29-stor Construction has resumed on H Hotel W39, a 29-story hotel at 58 West 39th Street in Midtown. Designed by Peter F. Poon Architects and developed by Wei Hong Hu of H Hotel LLC, the 447-foot-tall project had been stalled since the early months of 2020. City Cross Construction Corp. is the general contractor for the structure, whose design features a radical cantilever that gives way to a tapered glass dome. The footprint of the tower rests on a relatively narrow plot between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, just south of Bryant Park. Meanwhile YIMBY recently received an exclusive set of new and updated exterior renderings from Peter Poon Architects, which shows a much sleeker design and better idea of what the building is going to look like as it rises to its pinnacle. The cantilever is still a critical element in the design, while the rounded corners have now been straighten although the crown retains having a curved top made with a curtain wall of glass. It also looks like the edifice is slimmer than the previous and older rendering that’s been seen in the past. It was last reported that 58 West 39th Street would yield 41,500 square feet of commercial space, 65 hotel rooms, meeting rooms, a fitness center, and a hotel lobby. The overall façade will be composed of a uniform glass curtain wall. We can expect the very top floors of the building to offer views of Bryant Park and the Midtown skyline. YIMBY predicts work to be finished sometime in the latter half of 2022 or early 2023 at the latest. See our NY YIMBY article to check out the state of construction.
