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.

  • 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.

  • 7. Urban Design and Visual Resources
    East Midtown Rezoning and Related Actions FEIS 7. Urban Design and Visual Resources 7.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter assesses the Proposed Action’s potential effects on urban design and visual resources. As described in Chapter 1, “Project Description,” the Proposed Action involves zoning map and zoning text amendments that would affect an approximately 70-block area in the East Midtown area of Manhattan for the purpose of protecting and strengthening the area as a premier office district, as well as improving the area’s pedestrian and built environment. The Proposed Action is intended to encourage limited and targeted as-of-right commercial development in appropriate locations by establishing an East Midtown Subdistrict within the Special Midtown District. The East Midtown Subdistrict would supersede and subsume the existing Grand Central Subdistrict, focusing new commercial development with the greatest as-of-right densities on large sites with full block frontage on avenues around Grand Central Terminal, with slightly lower densities allowed along the Park Avenue corridor and elsewhere. The zoning text amendment would also streamline the system for landmark transfers within the Grand Central Subarea of the East Midtown Subdistrict and generate funding for area-wide pedestrian network improvements. The zoning map amendments would replace the existing C5-2 designation in the midblock area between East 42nd and East 43rd Streets, from Second Avenue to Third Avenue, with C5-3 and C5-2.5 designations, which would be mapped within the Special Midtown District and East Midtown Subdistrict. Subject to further analysis and public consultation, the Proposed Action may also amend the City Map to reflect a “Public Place” designation over portions of Vanderbilt Avenue to allow for the permanent development of a partially pedestrianized street.

  • Appendix A: Shadows
    Appendix A: Shadows Appendix A: Shadows A. INTRODUCTION As discussed in Chapter 6, “Shadows,” a detailed analysis comparing shadows in the future with the proposed project with the shadows in the future with the Previously Approved Project and with the Expanded Development Scenario was undertaken on each of the four analysis days, consistent with the methodology outlined in the CEQR Technical Manual. For a substantial number of open space and historic resources, the proposed project would not result in any incremental increase in shadow. In addition, there are a number of resources that would receive incremental shadow for fewer than 30 minutes. These resources are described in detail in this appendix. B. ASSESSMENT OF INCREMENTAL SHADOWS: PROPOSED PROJECT COMPARED WITH PREVIOUSLY APPROVED PROJECT OPEN SPACES THAT WOULD NOT RECEIVE ANY INCREMENTAL SHADOW THE SHEFFIELD RESIDENTIAL PLAZAS These plazas, located on the block bounded by Eighth and Ninth Avenues and West 56th and 57th Streets, are fully in existing shadow during the first 15 minutes of the December 21 analysis day, when the proposed project’s shadow would otherwise affect them. No incremental shadow would fall on these spaces at any time of year, and no shadow impacts would occur as a result of the proposed project. MCCAFFREY PLAYGROUND This playground is located on the north side of West 43rd Street between Eighth and Ninth Avenues. Shadow from the proposed project would be long enough to reach this playground from 6:57 AM to 7:15 AM on the June 21 analysis day; however, the portions of the space that could be affected are already in shadow at this time, and so no incremental shadow would occur.
