  • 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.

  • Fairytale of New York: Hudson Yards
    September 29th, 2017 Fairytale of New York: Hudson Yards At three times the size of the Rockefeller Center, when it is fully built out, some time around 2040, more than 27m sq ft of new class-A office space, 20m sq ft of new housing, 3m sq ft of hotels and 2m sq ft of retail will have been delivered by developers that include Related Companies, Oxford Properties, Brookfield and Tishman Speyer. Millions of square feet of space have already been completed and leased to blue-chip occupiers, and further significant deals are rumoured to be on the cards. No wonder the Hudson Yards district is one of the hottest property markets in New York City at the moment. So how did a development of this scale and ambition come about, who is doing what in the district and where is Hudson Yards’ new office occupier base being drawn from? Historically the Hudson Yards district consisted of warehousing and industrial space alongside the Manhattan waterfront. The area primarily acted as a rail hub that was fed 747 Third Avenue, Floor 18 New York, NY 10017 212.889.0808 [email protected] marinopr.com by the High Line - which closed years ago and has over the past decade been converted into green public spaces - as well as the Long Island Rail Road. But that all started to change when New York mayor Michael Bloomberg came to power in the early 2000s. “He noted that the average age of commercial office property in Manhattan was north of 75 years and with that in mind, he said, quite correctly, if we’re going to attract the best and brightest in the TAMI [technology, advertising, media and information] sectors, we’ve got to have some new product,” says Bruce Mosler, chairman of global brokerage at Cushman & Wakefield.

  • 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.
