™ 630 NINTH AVENUE 630 NINTH AVENUE ™ 630 NINTH AVENUE 630 NINTH AVENUE Also known as the Film Center Building, 630 Ninth Avenue is a 13-story office building that once only catered to businesses involved in film, theater and music. It was completed in 1929 by the world renowned architect Ely Khan. Its landmarked Art Deco-styled lobby shows Pre-Columbian influences and is notable for its bold and varied colors. The building's common corridors and restrooms were renovated in 2017 along with the addition of a class-E fire system. Additionally in 2017, windows were added to the entire eastern side of the building between the 7th-14th floor and 25,000 square feet of obsolete film storage vaults were converted into new office space. Located in the vibrant Hell's Kitchen neighborhood and moments from the Theater District, there are numerous amenities close by including a variety of dining options all along Ninth Avenue. Access to the Port Authority Bus Terminal, the NY Waterway Ferry, and the Lincoln Tunnel, as well as access to multiple subway lines is just a short walk away providing commuters with an easy way to and from the building. ™ 630 NINTH AVENUE THE BUILDING Location 9th Avenue between West 44th and West 45th Street Year Built 1929 Renovations Elevators - 2014; Lobby - 2015; Bathrooms - 2016; Corridors - 2017; Windows - 2018 Building Size 275,000 SF Floors 13, 2 below-grade ™ 630630 NINTHNINTH AAVENUEVENUE TYPICAL FLOORFLOOR PLANPLAN 22,700 RSFRSF WEST 45TH STREET NINTH AVENUE ™ 630 NINTH AVENUE BUILDING SPECIFICATIONS Location 9th

Western Rail Yard
Chapter 10: Neighborhood Character A. INTRODUCTION Neighborhood character is an amalgam of several elements that give an area its distinctive personality and help distinguish it from other neighborhoods. These components include: land use; street layout; scale, type, and style of development; historic features; patterns and volumes of traffic; noise levels; and any other physical or social characteristics. However, not all of these elements affect neighborhood character in all cases; a neighborhood usually draws its character from a few determining elements. Using information presented in other technical chapters of this EIS, this chapter examines neighborhood character at the three project sites and the associated surrounding study areas, and analyzes the effects of the Proposed Actions on neighborhood character in these areas. PRINCIPAL CONCLUSIONS The Proposed Actions would have a beneficial effect on neighborhood character on the project sites and in the surrounding study areas. Development of Western Rail Yard would fulfill a long- standing public policy to promote productive use of the site with a lively mix of uses, open spaces, and streets that would complement and support the development in the Hudson Yards area and West Chelsea. Construction of permanently affordable housing on the Tenth Avenue and Ninth Avenue Sites would support the Clinton neighborhood by emphasizing its residential character and the mixed-income character of its residents. DEVELOPMENT SITE The Proposed Actions would change the character of the Development Site, and this change would be, on balance, decidedly beneficial. The site, which presents a blank wall to the surrounding neighborhood on two sides and transportation/maintenance uses where it can be seen, would be transformed with a mix of residential and commercial uses and open spaces, clearly visible and accessible to the public.

Fort Gansevoort, 5 Ninth Avenue 5 Ninth Avenue, NYC, 10014 | [email protected] | (917) 639 - 3113 FORT GANSEVOORT “ Katy Moran: I want to live in the afternoon of that day ” at Sperone Westwater Through April 13 Katy Moran, DC 2 (2018). Courtesy of the artist and Sperone Westwater. For this first show of Moran’s paintings at Sperone Westwater, the artist has turned to a colorful palette after years of working primarily in shades of white monochrome. Her sharp turn towards earth and sky tones—which she enlivens with gestural brushstrokes and surrounds with found frames—could well be related to her recent move to the countryside outside London.
