Steel assembly work is now complete on the Ronald Steel assembly work is now complete on the Ronald O. Perelman Performing Arts Center with the installation of the final beam this past week at the Financial District site. Designed by REX with Davis Brody Bond Architects as the executive architect and developed by an independent non-profit company called The Perelman, the 138-foot-tall cubic performance space stands at the northern end of the original 16-acre World Trade Center complex, bound by Greenwich Street to the east, Vesey Street to the north, Fulton Street to the south, and Skidmore Owings & Merrill‘s One World Trade Center to the west. The dense layers of enormous steel columns, beams, and deep trusses are an incredible sight, and its scale is difficult to grasp without the context of construction workers or passing pedestrians. The Ronald O. Perelman Performing Arts Center will contain a total of three main sections: the Public Level on the bottom, the Performer Level in the middle, and the Play Level on top, with a total of 11 different venue arrangements. The facility’s main entrance will be accessed via staircase tucked underneath a cantilevering corner that will provide nice views of the World Trade Center complex. A final completion date for the Ronald O. Perelman Performing Arts Center has not been announced. Construction photographs by @mchlanglo793
Construction nears topping out on Society Biscayne Construction nears topping out on Society Biscayne at 400 Biscayne Boulevard, a 571-foot-tall mixed-use skyscraper in Downtown Miami. Designed by Sieger Suarez Architects, the 49-story tower is being developed by Property Markets Group and Greybrook Realty Partners. Recent photos show the progression the reinforced concrete superstructure has made since our last update at the beginning of April 2021, when the tower had approximately 39 concrete slabs poured in. Judging from the floor count visible on the hoist elevator, form work is on-going at levels 44 and 45, with just a few more slabs to form afterwards to reach the 49th and final floor. Society Biscayne is expected to yield 884,114 square feet of residential space across 646 units under Property Market Group’s Society Living brand, perched atop 48,555 square feet of office space, a church spanning 17,807 square feet and 10 stories, and a 406 vehicle parking garage. 1,097 square feet will be reserved for commercial uses such as restaurants or retails venues. The developer’s website indicates the project is scheduled wrap up and open late in 2021. Construction photographs by @skyalign

Cladding installation is progressing rapidly at Ch Cladding installation is progressing rapidly at Chicago's now topped-out Fulton Labs, rising 16 stories at 400 N Aberdeen Street in the Fulton Market district. ESG Architects is responsible for the 245-foot-tall design, whose rectangular massing will be textured by the bracket-shaped balconies. The facade will be comprised of glass, metal, and concrete paneling. Developed by Trammell Crow Company in collaboration with Zoë Life Sciences, the 420,000-square-foot building will be oriented towards biosciences and biotechnology companies, and will be the second installation of the Fulton Labs complex with 725,000 square feet of combined space. Programming primarily consists of office and lab space, along with secondary lobby, retail, storage, and amenity space. With 34,000-square-foot floor plates, the building will allow for flexible layouts with both lab and office space. These floors will also incorporate column-free layouts, 15-foot-high floor spans, 56-foot-long width spans, and two private balconies on every level. Most notably is a smart window technology that will either automatically adjust its level of tinting based on solar positioning, or can be customized by tenants to meet their preferences. Power Construction is serving as general contractor for the $106 million venture, with an opening date expected for the first quarter of 2022.
Work is progressing on the white marble walls and Work is progressing on the white marble walls and dome framework of St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in the Financial District. Designed by Santiago Calatrava and developed by The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the structure stands by the intersection of Greenwich Street and Liberty Street on the elevated Liberty Park, and will serve as the new home for the long-established church that was formerly located to the west of the park’s footprint at 155 Cedar Street. Calatrava’s architectural concept for the church was inspired by Istanbul’s Hagia Sophia and Church of the Holy Savior of Chora. A painting of Jesus Christ will adorn the underside of the dome’s highest point. We can see the widely pleated marble walls on the northern and eastern elevations having reached the base of the dome. This transitions to the intricate jagged framework that will hold stone panels on the dome and where the Holy Cross attaches to the very top of the church. Banners on the construction fence list a completion date for St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in 2021. YIMBY predicts this to be sometime toward the end of this year, though it would be triumphant to see the church open in time for the 20th 9/11 anniversary. Construction photographs by @mchlanglo793
The Oakland Planning Commission is scheduled recen The Oakland Planning Commission is scheduled recently voted on plans for 415 20th Street in Downtown Oakland, a 38-story office building poised to be the largest building in the Bay Area outside of San Francisco. City Staff has recommended the commission give approval, subject to conditions, in last Wednesday's meeting. The decision will be appealable to the city council. Hines is responsible for the 622-foot proposal, Kendall Heaton Associates is the architect of record, and Pickard Chilton listed as the design architect. The large X-bracing between the exterior columns will create a striking visual, though the redesign from late March shifted more visual emphasis on the towering columns. New renderings give greater context to how the tower fits in with the city’s skyline. The 38-story tower will yield over a million square feet, currently estimated to be 1,074,000 square feet, with a footprint covering over 90% of the 41,000 square foot parcel. The development will add 862,050 square feet for office space, 2,280 square feet for retail plus a cafe, and 149,090 square feet for the 262-car parking garage. The building’s garage will take up four floors of the above-ground podium. Documents published in April state construction could begin in 2021, with the project taking 32 months to complete. This could leave the project opening as early as 2023.

Plans to redevelop the site of an old warehouse at Plans to redevelop the site of an old warehouse at 205 Southwest 3rd Street in Downtown Miami have been in the works for quite some time now. The owner of the property, Blys Plank Inc., has tapped Jo Palma of PALMA to design a 36-story mixed-use residential and hotel skyscraper called The Basel.The developer, who’s owned the site since the early 1970’s, looks to bring this project to life through a joint venture as the property is located within what is deemed as an opportunity zone. Previous renderings from PALMA reveal the striking design proposal for the tower that consists of multiple offset and slipping volumes stacked upon each other, and clad in large glass floor-to-ceiling windows serving as the curtain walls. The glass panels of facade are aligned in a sloping manner at certain sections and elevations. The offset slipping forms of each volume allow for maximum and optimal unobstructed views of Downtown Miami’s skyline and beyond, as the design for the tower easily distinguishes itself from the surrounding structures and becoming a signature iconic building within the evolving cityscape. The 200,000-square foot project is still in conceptual and planning stages.
Looking south from the upper floors of 570 Broome Looking south from the upper floors of 570 Broome Street towards the World Trade Center and the surrounding skyscrapers of the Financial District and Battery Park City. YIMBY recently went to visit and take photographs from the upper floors of the completed 25-story residential building, which is located in the booming neighborhood of Hudson Square. Designed by Builtd with Skidmore Owings & Merrill handling the lobby and interiors, and developed by Soho Broome Condos LLC, 570 Broome Street yields 54 condominiums that are currently 80 percent sold. The property is bound by Broome Street to the south, Varick Street to the east, Dominick Street to the north, and the entrance lanes to the Holland Tunnel and Hudson Street to the west. The view of Lower Manhattan stretches between the Hudson and East River with residents getting abundant daylight exposure all day long. One final component of the skyline that will hopefully be built and seen is Two World Trade Center. This would be the last supertall structure to join the cluster of glass towers in this image and complete the 16-acre rebuilding effort. The edifice will one day rise to the east of One World Trade Center directly in front of where we can see Three World Trade Center. Photograph by @mchlanglo793
