  • How Related Leased 7 Million Square Feet of Office Space at Hudson Yards
    How Related leased 7 million square feet of office space at Hudson Yards March 19,2019 | by Rebecca Baird-Remba When Related Companies began searching for tenants to fill its first, 1.8-million-square-foot office tower at Hudson Yards in 2011, its leasing brokers had to convince companies to move to a neighborhood that was still a hole in the ground. The development firm was in the middle of decking over the 26-acre West Side rail yard and laying the foundations for the first phase of its sprawling, mixed-use development, which would eventually encompass 18 million square feet of commercial and residential space. Stephen Winter, a senior vice president at Related who has led much of the office leasing at Hudson Yards, had to show CEOs that their workers would one day have access to dozens of casual lunch options and restaurants. One day, the hole in the ground would be home to a million square feet of retail—luxury retailers, fast fashion stores, food halls, five star eateries and interactive art exhibits. But none of it was built yet, and back then, asking tenants to lease hundreds of thousands of square feet at Hudson Yards was a gamble. “Six, seven years ago, we had to break through doors and be as persistent as ever,” Winter explained. “It was a totally new place for everyone. It was a blank slate, an open piece of land with rail yards beneath it.” He gave “credit where credit was due” to the first crop of tenants who signed on to 10 Hudson Yards, including Coach, L’Oreal and SAP, which opened as the development’s first office building in 2016.

The design scheme required the columns of the the project extends over an existing rail yard; the 30 active existing structure to provide partial support for the new train tracks are slowly being covered by a massive plat- construction. The challenge was to match the anticipated reactions of the new construction, which are governed by the building’s architectural design and construction scheme, to the location and capacity of the columns of the existing structure. While the combined capacity of the columns of the existing structure could support the weight of the new construction, the distribution of the reactions from the new construction was considerably different from the capacities of the existing supports. Among the several options explored, the use of post-tensioning configured to generate a set of hyperstatic reactions so that the reac- tions from the new structure matched the capacity of the existing supports proved to be the most practical and effective scheme.

  • Fur District’
    Nypost.com March 14, 2018 Well-heeled New Yorkers are flocking to the ‘Fur District’ By Emily Nonko Impressions 23,917,718 Simon Fagg recently moved to amenity-laden rental Abington House. It's just one of the projects energizing 30th Street, once the domain of 9-to-5ers. Zandy Mangold n In the 1970s, Bennett Model commuted to work on 30th Street at his family’s company, a buying office that purchased luxury outerwear for stores around the I world. At the time, the area was known as the Fur District: Between 30th and 27th streets and Sixth and Eighth avenues, “there were over 350 fur-related companies” — and not much else, says Model, now 70. It was unfathomable that the neighborhood would attract more than a 9-to-5 crowd; the swath south of Penn Station and the Empire State Building was dominated by Nypost.com March 14, 2018 commercial businesses and had nothing in the way of nightlife. “It wasn’t a place where people lived,” Model says. Today, developers are building 346 condo and rental units along 30th Street, from the Hudson to the East River, according to Halstead Property Development Marketing. New residents bullish on the area include Simon Fagg, a 42-year-old Brit who moved to a studio at 500 W. 30th St.’s Abington House in 2015. The shift was, of course, gradual. In the 1990s, Model witnessed fur companies getting priced out or taking business elsewhere, and warehouses were converted to loft apartments. These days, he observes, practically everything — the under-construction towers, the Kimpton Hotel Eventi (renovated in 2015), Nordstrom Rack (opened in fall 2017) and hip Till & Sprocket restaurant (a 2016 debut) — is different.

  • Hudson Yards Takes Shape: New York's Newest
    BUSINESS | 12.15.2014 @4:16PM Hudson Yards Takes Shape: New York’s Newest Neighborhood Is Moving Full-Speed Ahead by Alicia Adamczyk Hudson Yards is transforming into one of the premiere destinations in New York City – and just might reinvigorate the city’s brick and mortar retail ecosystem in the process. The $20 billion, 28-acre development will bring more than 100 shops, fi ve state-of-the-art offi ce towers and an estimated 65,000 visitors a day to Manhattan’s West Side on some of the last undeveloped land on the island. All of this is expected to drive an estimated $3 billion in sales per year (and that’s before taking into account what will trickle down to businesses in Chelsea, SoHo and the surrounding areas). “We’re delivering a project here that’s going to enhance what’s already here,” says Kenneth Himmel, the president and Chief Executive Offi cer of Related Urban, the site’s developer. “It’s a complimentary statement.” Himmel says the space will have something for everyone: Exception- al cuisine and shopping will abut 14 acres of open public space and a Culture Shed that will accommodate large-scale cultural programming year-round, including Fashion Week, awards shows, art exhibitions and more. All of this is part of Phase I of the project, slated to be completed incrementally over the next fi ve years. “We’re really going to become a destination,” Himmel says. “The magic of what’s happening here is it’s got the best of all of the qualities that make a great downtown or a great destination project work … it takes the Hudson Yards from the northwest right retailers, the right restaurants, every part of this needs to come together the right way.” Himmel ensures the “hand-crafted” nature of everything — from the dining stalls in the Kitchens to the last retailer in the Shops – will lend an aura of exclusivity and sophistication to the project.

    An Evaluation of the Costs and Benefits of New York City’s Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project Michael Meola Eric Kober Kei Hayashi March 13, 2019 An Evaluation of the Costs and Benefits of New York City’s Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project Michael Meola Eric Kober Kei Hayashi March 13, 2019 Executive Summary: • The City’s goal to transform the Hudson Yards District from a largely vacant, underdeveloped transportation and distribution zone into a vibrant mixed-use, medium to high density district of workers, residents and visitors is being achieved ahead of projections, with over 30 million square feet of new development completed or in construction since the rezoning in 2005 • The $3.5 billion infrastructure investment that the City made, or has committed to fund, through Hudson Yards Infrastructure Corporation (HYIC) bonds to facilitate this transformation is paying off as the essential first step to attract vast private investment in the District that otherwise would not have occurred • Tax abatements in Hudson Yards are consistent with long-standing City practice to stimulate development where it is not occurring, and have contributed to the viability of commercial development in a previously fringe location • City payments to cover interest on HYIC’s bonds from 2007 to 2018 totaled $358 million; it is now estimated that future revenues from the District will not only pay off the bonds but will generate more than $21 billion in net revenues to the City • The opening on March 15th of the Related/Oxford Hudson Yards Project, the largest in the City’s history, built over the MTA Rail Yard on a billion-dollar privately funded platform, is the symbol of this remarkably successful public/private development that evidences the enormous strength of the City’s economy • The MTA has received over $1.2 billion for its property over the MTA Rail Yard and retains valuable development rights that it will be able to sell in the future • Additional benefits to the City include extension of the No.

  • The Political Economy of Value Capture: How the Financialization of Hudson Yards Created a Private Rail Line for the Rich
    The Political Economy of Value Capture: How the Financialization of Hudson Yards Created a Private Rail Line for the Rich Danielle L. Petretta Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee Of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2020 © 2020 Danielle L. Petretta All Rights Reserved The Political Economy of Value Capture: How the Financialization of Hudson Yards Created a Private Rail Line for the Rich Abstract: The theory of value capture is simple to understand and easy to sell, promising self-fulfilling virtuous cycles of value generation, capture, and redistribution. Countless studies document value creation attributable to public interventions, providing guidance on the type and extent of potential benefits. Scholars too have set forth parameters for optimal value capture conditions and caution against common pitfalls to keep in mind when designing value capture plans. But even when utilizing the best advice, equitable redistribution of benefits rarely occurs in neoliberal economies, leaving municipalities struggling to meet the myriad of social needs and provide basic services for all their inhabitants. Invariably, capitalistic real estate states seek to financialize public assets for private gain. Nowhere is this more apparent in New York City today than in the outcomes thus far of one of the largest public-private developments in New York history at Hudson Yards. This dissertation documents the failure of the value capture scheme put in place at Hudson Yards which neither captured fair market value for the public, nor extracted much public benefit. The scheme aimed to leverage vast tracts of publicly-owned land above operational rail yards at the Far West Side of Manhattan.
