  • 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.

  • 4. Open Space
    East Midtown Rezoning and Related Actions FEIS 4. Open Space 4.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter assesses the potential effects on open space that could result from the Proposed Action. Open space is defined as publicly or privately owned land that is publicly accessible and operates, functions, or is available for leisure, play, or sport, or set aside for the protection and/or enhancement of the natural environment. Open space that is used for sports, exercise, or active play is classified as active, while open space that is used for relaxation, such as sitting or strolling, is classified as passive. According to the CEQR Technical Manual, an analysis of open space is conducted to determine whether a proposed action would have a direct impact resulting from the elimination or alteration of open space and/or an indirect impact resulting from overtaxing available open space. The Proposed Action would rezone an area encompassing approximately 70 blocks in the East Midtown area of Manhattan to establish the East Midtown Subdistrict within the Midtown Special District. Under the reasonable worst-case development scenario (RWCDS), the Proposed Action would result in approximately 10,340,972 gross square feet (gsf) of office floor area, 648,990 gsf of retail floor area, 2,134,234 gsf of hotel floor area, 207,029 gsf of residential floor area, as well as 140,200 gsf of parking floor area. Compared to the No-Action condition, the RWCDS would result in a net increase in the number of employees and a net decrease in the number of residents. Therefore, in accordance with CEQR guidelines, the open space analysis of the Proposed Action evaluated the change in non-residential population relative to the total amount of passive open space in the study area; while active open spaces were identified, these open spaces were not included in the analysis because non-residents, specifically workers, tend to use passive open spaces.

  • Chapter 2: Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy
    Chapter 2: Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy A. INTRODUCTION This chapter examines the potential effects of the proposed 53 West 53rd Street project (the proposed project) on land use and development trends, its compatibility with surrounding land uses, and its consistency with zoning and relevant public policies. The project site is located in Midtown Manhattan on the block bounded by West 53rd and 54th Streets and Fifth and Sixth Avenues. The project site consists of a combined zoning lot comprising the development site (Lots 5, 6, 7, 8, 66, 69, 165, and a portion of Lot 58 on Block 1269) the American Folk Art Museum (Lot 9), the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) (Lots 11, 12, 13, 20, 58), a residential high-rise building (Lot 7501), and St. Thomas Church (Lot 30). The development site is vacant. The proposed project would develop these seven vacant lots with a mixed-use building including museum, restaurant, hotel, and residential components. To construct the proposed building, the applicant is seeking a special permit to allow the transfer of development rights from the University Club at 1 West 54th Street to the development site and an additional special permit to modify certain bulk and other zoning requirements in connection with the use of excess development rights from St. Thomas Church. This chapter provides an assessment of the existing and future conditions with and without the proposed project within the ¼-mile land use study area surrounding the combined zoning lot. As described below, this analysis concludes that the proposed project would be consistent with the mixture of land uses found in the surrounding area.
