Work is progressing on the residential conversion Work is progressing on the residential conversion and retail addition on the 90-year-old One Wall Street in the Financial District. Designed by SLCE Architects and developed by Macklowe Properties, the projected $1.5 billion undertaking is poised to be the largest office-to-condominium conversion in New York City history. When complete, the 654-foot-tall property will yield a total of 566 residential units with sales handled and marketed by Compass, as well as a 44,000-square-foot Whole Foods Market and a Life Time fitness center on the lower levels. The multi-story reinforced concrete addition atop the mid-century annex of One Wall Street has been topped out for a while and more of the façade has been steadily enclosing the outer edges of the expansion. The new panels feature sculpted Art Deco surfaces, and some of the narrow panels between the large windows are etched with thin vertical lines, emulating the look of the original fenestration. YIMBY last reported that One Wall Street’s residences and the Whole Foods Market are both scheduled to open in 2021, possibly toward the end of the year Check out our article for more info.

A new baseball stadium, named Oakland Ballpark, wi A new baseball stadium, named Oakland Ballpark, will soon be built and soon be the new home of the Oakland Athletics of Major League Baseball. It would serve as the replacement of their current home at Oakland Coliseum, where the team has resided since 1968. Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) is the leading architecture firm managing design concepts and construction. Gensler is managing the planning and design execution, and James Corner Field Operations is the landscape architect. Assemblyman Rob Bontas (D-Oakland) AB 1191 passed the Senate 34-0. The proposal includes a new ballpark to be built at the Howard Terminal in Jack London Square in Oakland. An opposing lawsuit filed by a coalition of local industry associations in the Alameda County Superior Court was not successful in challenging the team’s ability to perform a necessary Environmental Impact Report. However, the initial plans to open the stadium by 2023 have been delayed. The estimated initiation of construction is late 2021, and the stadium anticipates its grand opening in 2024. Read our article on SF YIMBY from last week to find out more info about this project.
Besides the ornate and detailed crown, new additio Besides the ornate and detailed crown, new additional renderings depicting 175 Park Avenue's base have also been released in Tuesday's public hearing. The one above steps back from the site even further than previously seen and shows more of the lower floors of Project Commodore and their contextual relationship with Grand Central Terminal. The first few levels of the 83-story superstructure taper inwards and away from the property line in order to create more space between SOM's 1,600-foot mixed-use office and hotel supertall and the 108-year old Beaux Arts Midtown East train station. The steel columns that would elegantly fan out from the four corners of the edifice are to be anchored by massive subterranean supporting columns, and will be textually fluted as inspired by the stone columns found across the facades of Grand Central Terminal. These, along with the rest of the vertically expressive perimeter columns stretching to the roof parapet, will be encased with a painted matte finish in order to prevent excessively reflective glare. Stay tuned for YIMBY's article and complete overview that will cover even more critical architectural and engineering aspects of Project Commodore tomorrow at 8:00 AM.
Close-up images of Project Commodore's 1,646-foot- Close-up images of Project Commodore's 1,646-foot-tall crown are now available thanks to a presentation from a public hearing on Tuesday February 23 that involved the Landmarks Preservation Commission voting and overwhelmingly approving the 1,600-foot supertall. With the pinnacle designed to have a dense network of interlaced steel columns and beams separated by diamond-shaped voids and windows, much of the attention at the hearing was focused on the voting of the project's following key aspects: an 8 - 2 vote on analyzing the now successfully acclaimed "harmonious relationship" between Skidmore Owings & Merrill's 83-story mixed-use hotel and office superstructure with the adjacent Grand Central Terminal; and a unanimous 10-0 vote on the now approved improvements to the outdoor viaduct sidewalks and the interior 42nd Street passage that would all collectively further enhance the circulation of commuters amongst the ground floor of the Midtown East complex. The full post will be up on YIMBY tomorrow at 8:00 AM.
The finishing touches are going up on 11 Hoyt Stre The finishing touches are going up on 11 Hoyt Street, a 620-foot-tall residential skyscraper in Downtown Brooklyn with closings underway. Developed by Tishman Speyer and designed by Jeanne Gang of Studio Gang with Hill West Architects as the architect of record, the exterior of the 57-story project now appears complete, with all of its elegantly sculpted façade panels installed. Michaelis Boyd Associates is leading the interior design for the property’s 481 residential units, which will come in a total of 190 different layouts, and Edmund Hollander of Hollander Design is in charge of landscaping for the private outdoor green spaces. Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group is leading the sales and marketing for the Brooklyn residences. Work has also moved along on the motor courtyard on the western half of the property, and the landscaping and metal railings for the private outdoor green space are now complete. 11 Hoyt Street’s homes will range in price from $690,000 for studios to approximately $3,500,000 for a four-bedroom layout. Residents can choose between two Brooklyn-inspired palettes, called Heritage and Classic.
Renderings have been revealed for a two-tower prop Renderings have been revealed for a two-tower proposed mixed-use development located at 601 W Monroe Street in downtown Chicago's West Loop Gate. Located on a rectangular lot, the site sits along W Monroe Street, spanning the entire width of the block from S Jefferson Street to S Desplaines Street. Currently a surface parking lot, the parcel is directly adjacent to Heritage Green Park. Pacific Reach Properties is the developer behind the proposal. Designed by Solomon Cordwell Buenz, the new construction will include two towers. The east tower will rise 47 stories with 537 apartments, 23,405 square feet of retail space, and 397 parking spaces. The west tower will rise 40 stories with 516 apartments, 6,904 square feet of retail space, and an additional 33 parking spaces within the parking garage. The west tower will become a backdrop to the 50,000-square-foot public park, Heritage Green Park. The developer added over 30,000 square feet of retail along the park and adjacent street frontages. The first and second floors of the west building directly adjacent to the park will be planned for a food and beverage tenant, placing an active use that will provide additional security to the park. An official timeline for the project has not been announced.
Façade work is progressing quickly on 18 Sixth Av Façade work is progressing quickly on 18 Sixth Avenue, a 49-story residential skyscraper in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. Designed by Perkins Eastman for The Brodsky Organization and Greenland Forest City Partners, the 532-foot-tall, 740,000-square-foot building will yield 858 rental units, of which 258 will be dedicated to affordable housing. The property sits directly adjacent to Barclays Center and is bound by Atlantic Avenue to the north and the corner of Sixth Avenue and Pacific Street to the east. 18 Sixth Avenue is the tallest building in the 22-acre Pacific Park master plan and will eventually be joined by a corridor of future buildings running down Atlantic Avenue over the train tracks to the east. The skyscraper has reached its final height, the yellow safety cocoon has been removed, and the glass curtain wall has risen to around the midway point on the upper half of the structure. The flat and straight edges of the floor plates have made the assembly progress fairly rapid. The low-rise mechanical extension over the roof parapet looks like it will be enclosed in dark paneling as depicted in the main rendering. 18 Sixth Avenue is slated for completion in early 2022.
