  • Who Are NYC's Most Active Developers?
    Who are NYC’s most active developers? The Real Deal ranked the top 10 December 27, 2018 | By Kathryn Brenzel and Kevin Sun The companies behind two mega-developments on Manhattan’s far West Side are the city’s busiest developers — and will likely remain so for the next few years. Related Companies and Brookfield Property Partners are the top two most active developers in the city in terms of the scale of their ongoing projects. Related and Brookfield are respectively being kept busy by their massive mixed-use proj- ects, Hudson Yards and Manhattan West. The Real Deal compiled a list of the city’s busiest developers of new construction, based on building permits issued by the Department of Buildings. Only projects with active permits that have not yet been issued a temporary certificate of occupancy (TCO) as of Dec.19 were included. Alterations were not included in developers’ total square footages or project counts. Here are the top 10 most active developers by square footage, as represented in DOB filings. 1. Related Companies Square footage: 6 million Number of projects: 9 Related’s largest ongoing project is 415 10th Avenue, better known as 50 Hudson Yards. The 2.2 million-square-foot office tower has been the target of multiple protests over the past year, due to the developer’s decision to use both union and nonunion construction labor on the project. Related’s second-largest ongoing project is another office tower at 550 West 34th Street, better known as 55 Hudson Yards. 2. Brookfield Property Partners Square footage: 4 million Number of projects: 4 Brookfield’s largest ongoing project is One Manhattan West, a 2 million-square–foot-plus office tower on Ninth Avenue.

  • BIG and BEAUTIFUL: Jumbo HSS Help Crown a Supertall Office Tower
    BIG AND BEAUTIFUL: Jumbo HSS Help Crown a Supertall Office Tower One Vanderbilt, a recently completed, state-of-the-art office tower in New York City, is home to several leading finance, banking, law and real estate firms, including SL Green Realty Corp., which developed the building in partnership with Hines and the National Pension Service of Korea. Designed by architects at the acclaimed Kohn Pedersen Fox, the building’s elegant form is composed of four nested, prismatic volumes that taper as they rise and terminate at different heights. Capped by a 128-foot spire, the building reaches a height of 1,401 feet, making it the tallest office building in Midtown Manhattan and the fourth-tallest building anywhere in the city. The Challenge 40 feet — while carrying a combination of axial loads, torsional loads and bi-axial bending loads.

  • Statement on the Suspension of Hud Funding To
    Position Statement on VANDERBILT CORRIDOR REZONING The NY Metro Chapter of the American Planning Association is a professional, educational, and advocacy organization representing over 1,300 practicing planners and policy makers in New York City and its surrounding suburbs. We are part of a national association with a membership of 41,000 professionals and students who are engaged in programs and projects related to the physical, social and economic environment. In our role as a professional advocacy organization, we offer insights and recommendations on policy matters affecting issues such as housing, transportation and the environment. Of particular interest to the Chapter is a pending zoning proposal known as the "Vanderbilt Corridor", encompassing the five blocks bounded by Madison Avenue, 47th Street, Vanderbilt Avenue and 42nd Street. At the south end would be One Vanderbilt, a 1514-foot tall, 67-story office tower designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox. BACKGROUND In 2013, the Chapter issued a position statement raising concerns about the rezoning proposal for a larger area known as Midtown East, which included the Vanderbilt Corridor. At the time, we questioned the scale and scope of the proposal, ultimately concluding that it was too large, did not seem to fulfil a pressing need and would actually compete with other existing economic development goals. The current proposal is significantly reduced in scale and scope, but may be a precursor to a larger rezoning initiative. Specific elements of the current proposal include the following:

  • Tall Buildings in 2020: COVID-19 Contributes to Dip in Year-On-Year Completions
    CTBUH Year in Review: Tall Trends of 2020 Tall Buildings in 2020: COVID-19 Contributes To Dip in Year-On-Year Completions Abstract In 2020, the tall building industry constructed 106 buildings of 200 meters’ height or greater, a 20 percent decline from 2019, when 133 such buildings were completed.* The decline can be partly attributed to work stoppages and other impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. This report provides analysis and commentary on global and regional trends underway during an eventful year. Research Project Kindly Sponsored by: Note: Please refer to Tall Buildings in Numbers—The Global Tall Building Picture: Impact of 2020 in conjunction with this Schindler paper, pages 48–49. *The study sets a minimum threshold of 200 meters’ height because of the completeness of data available on buildings of that height.

  • Chapter 5: Shadows
    Chapter 5: Shadows A. INTRODUCTION This chapter presents the detailed shadow study that was conducted to determine whether the proposed One Vanderbilt development would cast any new shadows on sunlight-sensitive resources. Sunlight-sensitive resources can include parks, playgrounds, residential or office plazas, and other publicly accessible open spaces; sunlight-dependent features of historic resources; and important natural features such as water bodies. Since the preparation of the shadow analysis in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), the height of the proposed One Vanderbilt development was increased. The shadow analysis in this Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) has been revised to reflect this change including Figures 5-1 to 5-22 and 5-27. PRINCIPAL CONCLUSIONS This analysis compared shadows that would be cast by the proposed One Vanderbilt development, which would be built to a floor area ratio (FAR) of 30, with those that would be cast by the 15 FAR building that would be developed absent the proposed actions (the 15 FAR No-Action building). As described below, the analysis concluded that the proposed 30 FAR One Vanderbilt development would cast new shadows on Bryant Park, the west windows of Grand Central Terminal’s main concourse and several other sunlight-sensitive resources. However, the new shadows would be limited in extent, duration and effects and would not result in any significant adverse shadow impacts, as demonstrated in detail below. B. DEFINITIONS AND METHODOLOGY This analysis has been prepared in accordance with CEQR procedures and follows the guidelines of the 2014 City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) Technical Manual. DEFINITIONS Incremental shadow is the additional, or new, shadow that a structure resulting from a project would cast on a sunlight-sensitive resource.

  • Developer Sees Manhattan Office Tower As a New Landmark SL Green’S One Vanderbilt Will Stand Next to Grand Central Terminal and Will Soar Over the Chrysler Building
    October 16, 2016 http://www.wsj.com/articles/developer-sees-manhattan-office-tower-as-a-new-landmark-1476663585 Developer Sees Manhattan Office Tower as a New Landmark SL Green’s One Vanderbilt will stand next to Grand Central Terminal and will soar over the Chrysler Building By KEIKO MORRIS The mammoth East Midtown office tower to be known as One Vanderbilt will rise 1,401 feet and taper into a slender pinnacle intended as an emphatic addition to the Manhattan skyline. “It is what announces we are embarking on a new age of what will become the next generation of the city’s landmarks,” said Marc Holliday, chief executive of SL Green Realty Corp., the tower’s developer. The desire to create a new landmark is only one of the story lines associated with the construction of One Vanderbilt, which will be built next to Grand Central Terminal and, when completed, soar over the Chrysler Building. New York City planners also see the $3 billion tower as the first step in modernizing the area around an important gateway—Grand Central—and throughout the aging East Midtown office district. As city officials and SL Green executives plan to gather Tuesday for a ceremonial groundbreaking, there is talk in the city’s real estate world that the 58-story tower could push some owners of skyscrapers in the district to renovate their buildings and lift the overall quality of the neighborhood’s office and retail space. SL Green’s agreement to make $220 million in transit upgrades and new access points in exchange for square footage for the building is seen as a template for Midtown East rezoning efforts.
