May 14, 2014 How the High Line Has Changed Manhattan: Part 3 Here's the last of our three-part tour of the High Line and the West Side development it has sparked (and if Star Wars is any indication, it's hard to stop at just a trilogy). Check out Part 1 and Part 2. Eastern Consolidated's Adelaide Polsinelli walked the High Line with us and tells us that for all the residential momentum along the park, especially in Chelsea, office rents have almost pulled even with apartment rates. In that marketplace, owners will go office, considering that office buildings have 20% more leaseable area than resi (if everyone would clean out their closets, maybe there'd be more room in residential buildings, too). Hence Albanese Org's 510 W 22nd St, which we snapped and which CookFox Architects (known for One Brya nt Park) is turning into a gleaming glass office overlooking the High Line. This massive residential complex was way ahead of its time when it delivered in the 1930s. Our other guide, New York Historical Tours' Kevin Draper, tells us the 710-unit London Terrace Towers was one of NYC's first co-ops, including a swimming pool, spa, and rooftop terrace. It's actually four buildings at the corners of Ninth and Tenth avenues and 23rd and 24th streets. The mid-block buildings, London Terrace Gardens, are apartments managed by Rose Associates. Henry Mandel assembled the full block, which once upon a time was owned by The Night Before Christmas author Clement Clarke Moore. Mr. Moore, incidentally, taught at the seminary we mentioned in yesterday's issue. We snapped Avalon Communities' 710-unit AVA High Line apartments at 525 W 28th, which opened last year, as well as the parcel where Related's 37-unit 520 W 28th condos, Zaha Hadid's first NY residential building, will rise. Leasing for Related's 317-unit Abington House (designed by Robert A.M. Stern) on the other side of the High Line at 500 W 30th launched in March. If you haven't gone west lately, the 1.7M SF south tower in Related and Oxford Properties' Hudson Yards—which will be home to Coach, L'Oreal, and SAP—has shot out of the ground. And that's where our story and the High Line end—for now. Eventually, the park will wrap around Hudson Yards to the right to meet up with the Javits Center (in the distance in our picture). But there's plenty more to come for this storied corridor. Adelaide says ground-level retail will need to evolve to serve all the residential development. She'd also love a cultural gateway at this end of the park, equivalent to the Whitney at the south, to carry the Meatpacking retail buzz north. .

The High Line Hits New H... Much More
High 5 By MAX GROSS Last Updated: 2:00 AM, January 17, 2013 Posted: 10:31 PM, January 16, 2013 It sounds like a crazy idea: Take an abandoned elevated train track on the far west side of Manhattan and wait around for it to turn into what is arguably the hottest area in the city. Crazy or not, that’s pretty much what happened with the High Line. “It’s right on the cusp of several neighborhoods,” says Chris Sieger, who has rented a one-bedroom with a 300-square-foot private terrace at the Caledonia, a building connected to the High Line, for more than four years. “It’s close to the West Village, there’s a lot of development along the West Side Highway, there’s access to a lot of cultural activity. I think it’s become a kind of epicenter.” And here are five reasons why the High Line will only be getting hotter in the coming months. 1) The sales market is more juiced than Lance Armstrong. In December, a 1,078-square-foot two-bedroom at the Caledonia sold for $2.615 million. The same unit had traded in 2009 for $1.827 million. That’s a jump of $788,000 in less than three years. Two blocks away, at 456 W. 19th St., “We had our first resale,” says the building’s architect and developer, Cary Tamarkin. “The woman has made $1 million on her purchase.” (In fact, the seller probably made more. The sale is still in contract; according to Streeteasy.com, the seller had originally purchased the apartment for $2.749 million and had it listed for $4.25 million.) Other super-glam buildings, such as the 15-unit Annabelle Selldorf tower at 200 11th Ave.

Battery Park - Castle Clinton National Monument Other Names: Fort Clinton, Castle Garden, West Battery, South-West Battery Castle Clinton is a circular sandstone fort now located in Battery Park at the southern tip of Manhattan that stands approximately two blocks west of where Fort Amsterdam stood almost 400 years ago. Construction began in 1808 and was completed in 1811. The fort (originally named West Battery) was built on a small artificial island just off shore and was intended to complement the three-tiered Castle Williams on Governors Island, which was East Battery, to defend New York City from British forces in the tensions that marked the run-up to the War of 1812, but never saw action in that or any war.

457 WEST 24TH STREET HOUSE, Borough of Manhattan

Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 722, Lot 7. On April 28, 1970, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the 457 West 24th Street House and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 28>. The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Seven witnesses spoke in favor of designation. There were no speakers In opposition to designa-· The owner of this House has indicated to the Commission that she favors its desig nation as a Landmark. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS No. 457 West 24th Street was erected by Philo V. Beebe, a neighborhood builder, as part of a long row of handsome, mid-19th century three-story houses. Set behind landscaped front yards, 15 feet deep, the row now affords a welcome contrast to the towering, sixteen-story London Terrace apartments across the street. In contrast, the houses retain an appealing sense of human scale. These dignified residences were part of the expanding Chelsea community. This included, at the time of building, an imposing row of earlier Greek Revival resi dences--the original London Terrace--on the north side of 23rd Street, between Ninth and Tenth Avenues, and, back to back with it, the modest Gothic Revival row houses known as Chelsea Cottages, on the south side of 24th Street. These narrow I ittle houses, built primarily to house the people employed by the well-to-do mer·chants on 23rd Street, were erected three years before Nos.

The company was created by combining the legacy firms of Israel Berger and Associates, LLC (IBA) and Viridian Energy & Environmental, LLC. Formed in 1994, IBA established an exterior wall consulting practice providing niche services to real estate owners, owner representatives and architects. Services were provided for new construction as well as investigation, repositioning, repair, and restoration of existing buildings. Later expansion included roofing as well as waterproofing consulting, encompassing the entire building envelope. IBA developed into an industry-leading resource. Viridian Energy & Environmental was established in 2006, providing consulting services to assist building owners and managers in energy efficiency, sustainability and LEED certifications. Energy modeling expertise set Viridian apart from other consultants offering more standardized service and support. In 2011, IBA and Viridian Energy & Environmental merged their specialized service offerings to form Vidaris. As building envelope designs and mechanical systems were becoming more complex, the two companies recognized that it was an opportunity, more so a necessity, for them to be able to provide a holistic approach to these closely related disciplines for their clients. Deep technical knowledge, a long proven track record, reputation, and a sophisticated analytical approach would allow Vidaris to provide a level of service second to none.
