  • Appendix 8 – Neighborhood Character
    East Midtown Rezoning and Related Actions FEIS Appendix 8 – Neighborhood Character East Midtown Rezoning and Related Actions FEIS HISTORY OF DEVELOPMENT AROUND GRAND CENTRAL TERMINAL Development of the area around Grand Central Terminal was a key component of the original Grand Central project and the character of the neighborhood surrounding Grand Central, while changing significantly over time, has continued to be strongly defined by its relation to the Terminal building. In 1902, the New York Central Railroad proposed a novel plan to raise revenues for construction of the new train depot—by selling and leasing the air rights over the tracks between Madison and Lexington Avenue from East 42nd to East 50th Streets (and including the west blockfronts of Park Avenue between East 50th and East 52nd Streets) to allow for construction of revenue-producing office, hotel and apartment buildings. The area was developed in two general phases. First, the area directly around the Terminal was developed in the 1910s, while the area further north along Park Avenue was developed in the 1920s. The 1910 generation of buildings—all built before the introduction of the 1916 New York City Zoning Resolution— were generally characterized by high street walls unattainable under the new regulations. The 1920 phase buildings were built pursuant to the 1916 zoning regulations and were configured with lower street walls, building setbacks and towers, best exemplified by the Waldorf-Astoria. Development of the area was rapid, such that three of the buildings built during the first phase were replaced by new, larger developments in the second—including the Graybar Building.

  • Manhattan Office Market
    Manhattan Offi ce Market 1 ST QUARTER 2016 REPORT A NEWS RECAP AND MARKET SNAPSHOT Pictured: 915 Broadway Looking Ahead Finance Department’s Tentative Assessment Roll Takes High Retail Rents into Account Consumers are not the only ones attracted by the luxury offerings along the city’s prime 5th Avenue retail corridor between 48th and 59th Streets where activity has raised retail rents. The city’s Department of Finance is getting in on the action, prompting the agency to increase tax assessments on some of the high-profi le properties. A tentative tax roll released last month for the 2016-2017 tax year brings the total market value of New York City’s real estate to over $1 trillion — reportedly for the fi rst time. The overall taxable assessed values for the city would increase 8.10%. Brooklyn’s assessed values accounted for the sharpest rise of 9.83% from FY 2015/2016, followed by Manhattan’s 8.47% increase. Although some properties along the 5th Avenue corridor had a reduction in valuations the properties were primarily offi ce, not retail according to a reported analysis of the tentative tax roll details. Building owners have the opportunity to appeal the increase; but an unexpected rise in market value — and hence real estate taxes, will negatively impact the building’s bottom line and value. Typically tenants incur the burden of most of the tax increases from the time the lease is signed, and the landlord pays the taxes that existed before the signing; but in some cases the tenant increase in capped, leaving the burden of the additional expense on the landlord.

  • Infrastructure Asset Management Review of Tall Residential Buildings Of
    Journal of Built Environment, Technology and Engineering, Vol. 3 (September) 2017 ISSN 0128-1003 ASSET MANAGEMENT REVIEW OF TALL RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS IN MAJOR CITIES: CHICAGO, HONG KONG AND SINGAPORE Raymond Cheng Email: [email protected] Reader, Industrial Doctorate (IndD) Programme, Asia e University, Kuala Lumpur, MALAYSIA Ivan Ng Email: [email protected] Executive Director, Russia Capital Investment Corporation Limited, HONG KONG ABSTRACT There is only one residential skyscraper within China’s top 100 tallest buildings in the crowded 24-million- population city of Shanghai, China (and eleven residential skyscrapers among the 134 tallest buildings, i.e. those taller than 150 metres), whereas there are comparatively a lot more skyscrapers used for residential purposes in equally densely populated cities like Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and, of course, Chicago and New York. This paper, hence, looked, from a historical perspective, how the development of tall buildings in Chicago, Hong Kong and Singapore have evolved to become what we see today. How does the tall building development history of a city help forge the people’s view in terms of living in skyscrapers? Would such help provide explanations and hints as to the future development of skyscrapers in the other cities like Shanghai? Keywords: Tall building, skyscraper, high-rise, development history Learning from the American experience The mythical story of the Tower of Babel tells us that how height, in itself, since the beginning of known history, means power to human beings. But before Elisha Otis revolutionized and refined the safety of the elevator by inventing the elevator brakes1 in 1852, both the Greek mathematician Archimedes of Syracuse and King Louis XV of France could only have envisioned their great ideas through primitive, man-powered, inefficient mechanical lifting devices back in their days.
