Battle of the Tallest: 432 Park Avenue Vs. One World Trade Centre Sourceable Industry News & Analysis http://sourceable.net Battle of the Tallest: 432 Park Avenue Vs. One World Trade Centre Author : angela-fedele Located in the centre of Manhattan on leafy Park Avenue between 56th and 57th street, the landmark building will stand 1,396 feet tall, just topping the rooftop height of the One World Trade Centre building, which stands at 1,368 feet excluding its 124-metre spire. In what was a momentous moment for New York last month, the spire of the One World Trade Centre was installed taking the building to a final height of 1,776 feet, a reference to the year of America’s independence. The tower’s spire has drawn consistent debate as to whether it should be considered in the buildings official height as site owners the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey have also claimed the title of the city’s tallest building. Architect Rafael Vinoly. Originally, the spire was intended to be housed within a radome but freestanding, it could now be considered an antenna which according to the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat is not considered in the final architectural height. While the verdict is still out on the tallest building, Viñoly is confident that 432 Park Avenue will receive the final recognition. “To me the critical thing in every building is the possibility of changing convention,” Viñoly explained in a video about the project. “We effectively look at every project differently…one thing that really is the case of death in this business is to circumscribe yourself to one particular building type.” 1 / 3 Sourceable Industry News & Analysis http://sourceable.net Viñoly said he felt a building of that height had to strike a balance between form and its actual structure. Apartments for 432 Park Avenue went on sale in March and over a third of the 126 units were sold, totaling sales of over $1 billion in spaces priced from US$7 million to US$95 million. The slender 432 Park Avenue tower will extend 96 stories featuring a glazed concrete steel and glass façade. It will also boast 10-by-10 foot windows, drawing in an abundance of natural light offering residents extensive views of Central Park, the Hudson and East river and all the way to New Jersey and Brooklyn. The geometrically aligned exteriors feature six components per floor, separated by a gap that also works as a wind effect mechanism to reduce the creation of the vortex. Construction has commenced on 432 Park Avenue Tower Inside, the number of apartments per floor will be reduced from four to one on the upper levels, and natural materials including solid oak floors and Italian marble bathrooms are set to decorate the residencies. Implementing public and collaborative spaces within the tower was important to Viñoly with the building set to house a private restaurant, outdoor garden, private elevator landings, a pool, spa and fitness centre and more, with over 30,000 square feet of amenities for residents. 2 / 3 Sourceable Industry News & Analysis http://sourceable.net “When one building typology becomes the city, it’s not anymore a building typology – its something else,” explains Viñoly of the building atmosphere he’s worked to create. “…So the experience of participating in that kind of strange relationship where you have multiple layers of publicness by the level of which people connect visually at certain heights is 100% a New York experience.” While a decision has yet to be made on the official height of the One World Trade Centre, the structure will continue to hold the title for tallest building in the US and the Western Hemisphere ahead of the Willis Tower in Chicago at 1,451 feet and the Trump International Hotel and Tower which stands at 1,389 feet. If the spire is recognised as an antenna, however, it will swiftly drop to third place and will slip to fourth upon the completion of 432 Park Avenue tower. 3 / 3 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

Early last century, industrial piers stretched up the Hudson River from the Battery to the Upper West Side. Most respectable New Yorkers shied away from the working waterfront and therefore lived toward the middle of the island. But in today’s postindustrial Manhattan, the West Side is a highly desirable—and expensive— place, home to residential developments catering to the well-to-do who want to live close to the waterfront and its now recreational piers.

  • True to the City's Teeming Nature, a New Breed of Multi-Family High Rises
    BY MEI ANNE FOO MAY 14, 2016 True to the city’s teeming nature, a new breed of multi-family high rises is fast cropping up around New York – changing the face of this famous urban jungle forever. New York will always be known as the land of many towers. From early iconic Art Deco splendours such as the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building, to the newest symbol of resilience found in the One World Trade Center, there is no other city that can top the Big Apple’s supreme skyline. Except itself. Tall projects have been proposed and built in sizeable numbers over recent years. The unprecedented boom has been mostly marked by a rise in tall luxury residential constructions, where prior to the completion of One57 in 2014, there were less than a handful of super-tall skyscrapers in New York. Now, there are four being developed along the same street as One57 alone. Billionaire.com picks the city’s most outstanding multi-family high rises on the concrete horizon. 111 Murray Street This luxury residential tower developed by Fisher Brothers and Witkoff will soon soar some 800ft above Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood. Renderings of the condominium showcase a curved rectangular silhouette that looks almost round, slightly unfolding at the highest floors like a flared glass. The modern design is from Kohn Pedersen Fox. An A-team of visionaries has also been roped in for the project, including David Mann for it residence interiors; David Rockwell for amenities and public spaces and Edmund Hollander for landscape architecture.

  • Analysis of Technical Problems in Modern Super-Slim High-Rise Residential Buildings

This trend appeared on the construction market along with the progress of advanced struc- tural solutions and the high demand for luxury apartments with spectacular views. Two types of constructions can be distinguished within this typology: ultra-luxury super-slim towers with the exclusivity of one or two apartments per floor (e.g. located in Manhattan, New York) and other slender high-rise towers, built in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Melbourne, among others, which have multiple apartments on each floor. This paper presents a survey of selected slender high-rise buildings, where structural improvements in tall buildings developed over the recent decade are considered from the architectural and structural view.

  • 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:

  • CITYREALTY NEW DEVELOPMENT REPORT MANHATTAN NEW DEVELOPMENT REPORT May 2015 Summary
    MAY 2015 MANHATTAN NEW DEVELOPMENT REPORT CITYREALTY NEW DEVELOPMENT REPORT MANHATTAN NEW DEVELOPMENT REPORT May 2015 Summary Apartment prices in new development condominiums in Manhattan have increased at a fast clip, a trend boosted by the upper end of the market. Sales of new condominium units included in this report are expected to aggregate between $27.6 and $33.6 billion in sales through 2019. The average price of these new development units is expected to reach a record of $5.9 million per unit in 2015. At the same time, far fewer units are being built than during the last development boom, in the mid-2000s, therefore the number of closed sales is expected to increase more modestly than their prices. 2013 2014 2015-2019* TOTAL NEW DEVELOPMENT SALES $2.7B $4.1B $27.6B-$33.6B+ Pricing information for the 4,881 new development units covered in this report comes from active and in-contract listings, offering plans, and projections based on listing prices. For a complete list of buildings included in this report, see pages 5-6 (New Developments by Building Detail). Ultimately, sales of these apartments will total roughly $27.6 to $33.6 billion through 2019. Sales in new developments totaled $4.1 billion in 2014, up 50 percent from 2013. The 2013 total, $2.7 billion, also represented a significant increase from the $1.9 billion recorded in 2012. While total sales volume has increased in recent years, it is still substantially less than at the height of the market, in 2008, when new development sales totaled $10.4 billion.

The six-bedroom, seven- bathroom spread sits atop 432 Park Ave., a midtown Manhattan skyscraper just blocks from the Plaza, Bergdorf Goodman, and Bloomingdale's that is the tallest completed residential building in the Western Hemisphere. The 8,255-square-foot condo — which the retail and property magnate Al Hokair bought for $87.7 million and never lived in — became the most expensive home for sale in the country when it hit the market in July. "There's no other apartment where I can stand at the dining room table and see Central Park and lower Manhattan at the same time," Serhant told Insider, squinting across the 93-foot dining room, its long table set with Hermès atware, to views of the Empire State Building.
