So, what about the construction of new buildings that share the defining characteristic of being superlatively tall? As detailed in an annual report published earlier this month by the Chicago-headquartered Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH), newly completed skyscrapers experienced a global decline of 20 percent in 2020 compared to the previous year due, both directly and indirectly, to the COVID-19 crisis.

Although some cities have already adopted contemporary styles and have constructed soaring skyscrapers, but the majority of towns remain committed to traditional building techniques. Iranian architect Mohammad Hassan Forouzanfar decided to give traditional Iranian architecture a structural upgrade but kept its main features intact. In his conceptual creations titled "Retrofuturism", the architect used traditionally-designed houses as a starting point, but introduced them to the modern world of skyscrapers and surreal forms, mixing both styles together.

  • 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.

Book chapter/Part chapter 2. Journal paper 3. Conference proceeding 4. Unpublished conference paper 5. Magazine article 6. Unpublished © Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat / Georges Binder The “International” Skyscraper: Observations While using tall buildings data, the following paper aims to show trends and shifts relating to building use and new locations accommodating high-rise buildings. After decades of the American office building being dominate, in the last twelve years we have observed a gradual but major shift from office use to residential and mixed-use for Tall Buildings, and from North America to Asia. The turn of the millennium has also seen major changes in the use of buildings in cities having the longest experience with Tall Buildings. Chicago is witnessing a series of office buildings being transformed into residential or mixed-use buildings, a phenomenon also occurring on a large scale in New York. In midtown Manhattan of New York City we note the transformation of major hotels into residential projects. The transformation of landmark projects in midtown New York City is making an impact, but it is not at all comparable to the number of new projects being built in Asia. When conceiving new projects, we should perhaps bear in mind that, in due time, these will also experience major shifts in uses and we should plan for this in advance.

  • Law of the Land - Real Estate Litigation Newsletter
    Law of the Land - Real Estate Litigation Newsletter June 7, 2021 Volume 1, Issue VII CASE HIGHLIGHT PLAINTIFFS MAKE WAVES FOR HARBOR PLAN Foundation, et al. v. Theoharides, et al., 1884 CV02144-BLS1 (April 1, 2021) In a recent decision, the Massachusetts Superior Court granted partial summary judgment to Plaintiffs in two companion cases, challenging the validity of certain Waterways Regulations and the City of Boston’s Downtown Waterfront District Municipal Harbor Plan (the “MHP”). The Superior Court determined that the sections of the Waterways Regulations, which required the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (“DEP”) to follow the parameters approved by the Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs (the “Secretary”) in a municipal harbor plan when making licensing determinations for projects built on tidelands, are an improper delegation of DEP’s authority and thus invalid and ultra vires. Plaintiffs who are Members of the Harbor Towers condominium community in Boston and the Conservation Law Foundation brought their respective lawsuits to challenge the MHP and the plans of RHDC 70 East India, LLC, an affiliate of the Chiofaro Company, to build a 600-foot-tall tower on the waterfront at the current site of the Harbor Garage. The MHP, which was approved by the Boston Planning and Development Agency in May 2017 and by the Secretary on April 30, 2018, encompasses approximately 42 acres of tidelands on the Boston waterfront running along Atlantic Avenue and near the Rose Kennedy Greenway. The MHP allowed the Harbor Garage parcel a height limitation of 600 feet, approximately eleven times the standard foot height limit permitted by the applicable regulations absent a municipal harbor plan.

  • 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.

  • November 2020, Sidler: Inside Reflections
    Preferences NOVEMBER 2020 Micro living in a compact home? Storage solutions to consider! You don’t have to give up storage and functional space to live in a smaller home! In 2007, there was an emergence of the tiny- house movement or the "small-house” movement within North America, which is an architectural and social movement advocating living simply in small homes. By 2012, these tiny homes eventually evolved into even smaller spaces as these 'homes on MICRO-HOME UNDER 1000 SQ FT wheels' with under 400 square feet or even less in living space. Living in these smaller spaces are appealing to some prospective homebuyers due to affordability and also the desire to create a more minimalist lifestyle. So the question is, is there still a surging trend for tiny homes? And if so, why does this trend exist and how has it evolved in the current real estate market climate? In the current North America real estate market, the tiny house on wheels is still a home option for TINY HOUSE ON WHEELS UNDER 300 SQ FT some, but issues such as getting bank financing, having the assurance of quality, solid and safe construction and also, where to park the home given inhibitive zoning laws are all unappealing to a percentage of prospective home buyers who want to or can only afford to live in a smaller space. Given this, new more practical and appealing trends for this percentage of the home buyer population is emerging, which encompasses the ideology of 'micro living' with micro-homes or micro-condo living spaces.

  • Technological Advances and Trends in Modern High-Rise Buildings
    buildings Article Technological Advances and Trends in Modern High-Rise Buildings Jerzy Szolomicki 1,* and Hanna Golasz-Szolomicka 2 1 Faculty of Civil Engineering, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, 50-370 Wroclaw, Poland 2 Faculty of Architecture, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, 50-370 Wroclaw, Poland * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-505-995-008 Received: 29 July 2019; Accepted: 22 August 2019; Published: 26 August 2019 Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to provide structural and architectural technological solutions applied in the construction of high-rise buildings, and present the possibilities of technological evolution in this field. Tall buildings always have relied on technological innovations in engineering and scientific progress. New technological developments have been continuously taking place in the world. It is closely linked to the search for efficient construction materials that enable buildings to be constructed higher, faster and safer. This paper presents a survey of the main technological advancements on the example of selected tall buildings erected in the last decade, with an emphasis on geometrical form, the structural system, sophisticated damping systems, sustainability, etc. The famous architectural studios (e.g., for Skidmore, Owings and Merill, Nikhen Sekkei, RMJM, Atkins and WOHA) that specialize, among others, in the designing of skyscrapers have played a major role in the development of technological ideas and architectural forms for such extraordinary engineering structures. Among their completed projects, there are examples of high-rise buildings that set a precedent for future development. Keywords: high-rise buildings; development; geometrical forms; structural system; advanced materials; damping systems; sustainability 1.

That’s the highest volume of new office space completed during a three-year span since 1988-1990, when 15.3 million square feet was finished, according to a report by the New York Building Congress. Included in the 2017-2019 projections are 5 Manhattan West, a 15-story, 1.7 million-square-foot redevelopment by Brookfield Property Partners, and 55 Hudson Yards, a 1.7 million-square-foot office tower being developed by the Related Companies and Oxford Properties Group. The report includes new office buildings and redevelopments where the properties are significantly altered. Between 2020 and 2022, the report estimates, Manhattan will see 7.5 million square feet of new office space across four major projects: SL Green Realty’s One Vanderbilt, Related’s 50 Hudson Yards, Tishman Speyer’s the Spiral and the office portion of Moynihan Train Hall. Those estimations could spike if 2 World Trade Center — a project delayed until Silverstein Properties can nail down an anchor tenant for the 2.8-million- square-foot tower — and other projects get underway.

  • 200 Amsterdam Ave.Pdf
    Appeals Court Decision Saves 200 Amsterdam Ave. from Chopping Block New York City developers collectively sighed with relief when 200 Amsterdam Avenue, a mixed-use, high-rise building on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, was saved from the guillotine when a New York State intermediate appellate court reversed a lower court’s decision that retroactively revoked the developer’s building permit for an as-of-right development. The affirmance of the controversial ruling, issued by the New York County Supreme Court on February 27, 2020, would have resulted in the demolition of more than 20 top floors of the fully-constructed 668 feet high 55-story tower. The affirmance of the controversial ruling, issued by the New York County Supreme Court on February 27, 2020, would have resulted in the demolition of more than 20 top floors of the fully-constructed 668 feet high 55-story tower. On September 27, 2017, the New York City Department of Buildings (DOB) issued a building permit to Amsterdam Avenue Redevelopment Associates LLC, a joint venture between SJP Properties and Mitsui Fudosan, to construct 200 Amsterdam. After the validity of the permit was twice approved by the New York City Board of Standards and Appeals (BSA), the Committee for Environmentally Sound Development (CFESD) commenced a special proceeding in the New York County Supreme Court seeking to annul BSA’s determination, vacate the DOB-issued permit, and remove a bulk of the skyscraper’s top floors. On February 27, 2020, the Court granted CFESD’s request and, on March 3, 2020, the developer appealed. On appeal, the developer, one of the appellants in the proceeding, sought review of the February 27th decision to determine whether a DOB-issued building permit that was affirmed by BSA can be retroactively invalidated by a trial court based on the court’s new interpretation of Section 12-10(d) of the New York City Zoning Resolution.
