  • W 26Th St New York, Ny
    21&23 W 26TH ST NEW YORK, NY TWO HISTORIC ADJACENT COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS FOR SALE ASKING PRICE: $19,000,000 21&23 W 26TH ST PROPERTY DESCRIPTION Cushman & Wakefield has been exclusively retained to sell 21 and 23 West 26th Street, two historic adjacent office buildings in New York’s NoMad District. These side-by-side three story plus garden, penthouse and cellar buildings were designed by Thomas Stent and Peabody, Wilson & Brown and constructed in 1881 as the real estate office for brothers William Waldorf Astor and John Jacob Astor III. The Astor Family managed their immense real estate holdings out of these buildings until the elder son, Vincent Astor died and left the buildings to his daughter who was married to millionaire communist, Corliss Lamont. When Lamont died, he bequeathed it to the U.S. Communist Party to use as their headquarters in the mid-1940’s. The exteriors have remained relatively untouched since 1881 and 1922, respectively, until a penthouse addition was placed atop of No. 21 in 1991. The interiors have been renovated and restored over the last 40+ years with the addition of an elevator, central air conditioning, new kitchens and toilets, but the original tiled floors, iron stair, paneled walls, office dividers, fireplaces and even door hardware are all still intact. The buildings combine for approximately 19,045 square feet (No. 21 being 9,290± SF and No. 23 being 9,755± SF), have one elevator inside of No. 23 and are interconnected on the front entryway of the ground floor only. Both buildings contain concrete-lined, walk-in vaults with massive steel safe doors where deeds and cash were stored by the Astor’s and now safeguard archived books.

  • 154 WEST 14Th STREET BUILDING, 154-162 West 14Th Street (Aka 51-59 Seventh Avenue), Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission June 28, 2011, Designation List 444 LP-2419 154 WEST 14th STREET BUILDING, 154-162 West 14th Street (aka 51-59 Seventh Avenue), Manhattan. Built 1912-13; Herman Lee Meader, architect; New York Architectural Terra Cotta Co., terra cotta. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 609, Lot 7. On June 22, 2010, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the 154 West 14th Street Building and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 5). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Three people spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of New York Assemblymember Deborah J. Glick, the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation, and the Historic Districts Council. Summary The 154 West 14th Street Building (1912-13), a 12-story speculative loft structure constructed for lawyer-banker and real estate developer Leslie R. Palmer, was the first completed New York City design by architect Herman Lee Meader, with whom Palmer collaborated on five projects. The building’s location at the prominent intersection of 14th Street and Seventh Avenue anticipated the southward extension of Seventh Avenue and its new subway line, and benefitted from its proximity and direct access to the Holland Tunnel and west side freight terminals. Arranged in a tripartite base-shaft-capital composition with large window areas, it is a striking and unusual example of a large loft building partly clad in terra cotta – on the three-story base, on the spandrels between the white-brick piers of the midsection, and on the upper portion.

  • 14Th Street Corridor Traffic Analysis Overview Introduction in Late
    February 22, 2018 14th Street Corridor Traffic Analysis Overview Introduction In late October 2012, Hurricane Sandy devastated New York City and left 43 New Yorkers dead, 2 million people without power, flooding in 17% of the city affecting some 90,000 buildings, and $19 billion in damages to the City alone. The effects of the extensive damage to the subway system serve as a reminder of Sandy’s huge impact. All six of the MTA-NYCT’s East River subway tunnels were inundated with storm water surges, corroding the various mechanical, electrical and communications components with saltwater. The 92-year-old tubes of the Canarsie Tunnel, connecting Brooklyn and Manhattan via the L Line, were flooded with seven million gallons of salt water. While the tubes were drained and service was restored just 10 days after the storm, it was clear that a full reconstruction of the tunnel was required. Service Planning for the Canarsie Tube Closure Starting in April 2019, the 15-month closure of the L train’s Canarsie Tunnel will directly affect 275,000 daily customers. While MTA New York City Transit (NYCT) and the New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) have been working together to provide alternatives and new travel options, it is difficult to overstate the significant disruption and inconvenience being brought to the lives of hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers. With most L commuters moving to other subways, even those New Yorkers who do not ride the L will see their commutes affected by the influx of L riders on their subway lines.
