Project Site is located adjacent to LPC‐designated architectural resources and is also located within close proximity to Central Park, a designated scenic landmark. Action Type (refer to Chapter 2, “Establishing the Analysis Framework” for guidance) LOCALIZED ACTION, SITE SPECIFIC LOCALIZED ACTION, SMALL AREA GENERIC ACTION 4. Project Description This Environmental Assessment Statement ("EAS") has been prepared in support of a Land Use Review Application filed with the New York City Department of City Planning (DCP). The applicant, VNO 225 West 58th Street LLC (the "Applicant"), is seeking a zoning special permit pursuant to Sections 13‐45 and 13‐451 of the New York City Zoning Resolution ("ZR"), "Special Permits for Additional Parking Spaces" and "Additional Parking Spaces for Residential Growth," respectively, (the "Proposed Actions"). The Proposed Actions would allow for the increase in capacity of the below‐grade, attended, accessory parking garage from 24 spaces to 64 spaces (an increment of 40 parking spaces) (the "Proposed Garage") to be provided in a planned building that is otherwise being constructed on an as‐of‐right basis on the development site at 220 Central Park South. The requested 64‐space capacity is based on the calculation of one parking space per 200 square feet (a calculation that provides the minimum capacity). As indicated in the ULURP application, the maximum parking that could fit in the parking facility, based on a calculation of one parking space per 180 square feet, would be 70 parking spaces. However, the Applicant is seeking 64 parking spaces. The Applicant is also seeking a certification pursuant to ZR Section 26‐15 (curb cuts) to allow for the construction of two curb cuts on West 58th Street. The certification is a ministerial action. The Project Site is located at 220 Central Park South on Tax Lots 15, 16, 17, and 19 of Block 1030 in Manhattan Community District 5. The Proposed Garage would consist of approximately 15,255 sf on the ground floor and sub‐cellar level (all of which has been previously excavated and is currently being built‐out) of a proposed ~625,000 gsf mixed‐use development which would include 118 dwelling units ~545,000 gsf and retail ~460 gsf.

    RITZ TOWER, 465 Park Avenue (Aka 461-465 Park Avenue, and 101East5t11 Street), Manhattan

    Landmarks Preservation Commission October 29, 2002, Designation List 340 LP-2118 RITZ TOWER, 465 Park Avenue (aka 461-465 Park Avenue, and 101East5T11 Street), Manhattan. Built 1925-27; Emery Roth, architect, with Thomas Hastings. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1312, Lot 70. On July 16, 2002 the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Ritz Tower, and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No.2). The hearing had been advertised in accordance with provisions of law. Ross Moscowitz, representing the owners of the cooperative spoke in opposition to designation. At the time of designation, he took no position. Mark Levine, from the Jamestown Group, representing the owners of the commercial space, took no position on designation at the public hearing. Bill Higgins represented these owners at the time of designation and spoke in favor. Three witnesses testified in favor of designation, including representatives of State Senator Liz Kruger, the Landmarks Conservancy and the Historic Districts Council. In addition, the Commission has received letters in support of designation from Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney, from Community Board Five, and from architectural hi storian, John Kriskiewicz. There was also one letter from a building resident opposed to designation. Summary The Ritz Tower Apartment Hotel was constructed in 1925 at the premier crossroads of New York's Upper East Side, the comer of 57t11 Street and Park A venue, where the exclusive shops and artistic enterprises of 57t11 Street met apartment buildings of ever-increasing height and luxury on Park Avenue.
  • Fairytale of New York: Hudson Yards

    Fairytale of New York: Hudson Yards

    September 29th, 2017 Fairytale of New York: Hudson Yards At three times the size of the Rockefeller Center, when it is fully built out, some time around 2040, more than 27m sq ft of new class-A office space, 20m sq ft of new housing, 3m sq ft of hotels and 2m sq ft of retail will have been delivered by developers that include Related Companies, Oxford Properties, Brookfield and Tishman Speyer. Millions of square feet of space have already been completed and leased to blue-chip occupiers, and further significant deals are rumoured to be on the cards. No wonder the Hudson Yards district is one of the hottest property markets in New York City at the moment. So how did a development of this scale and ambition come about, who is doing what in the district and where is Hudson Yards’ new office occupier base being drawn from? Historically the Hudson Yards district consisted of warehousing and industrial space alongside the Manhattan waterfront. The area primarily acted as a rail hub that was fed 747 Third Avenue, Floor 18 New York, NY 10017 212.889.0808 [email protected] marinopr.com by the High Line - which closed years ago and has over the past decade been converted into green public spaces - as well as the Long Island Rail Road. But that all started to change when New York mayor Michael Bloomberg came to power in the early 2000s. “He noted that the average age of commercial office property in Manhattan was north of 75 years and with that in mind, he said, quite correctly, if we’re going to attract the best and brightest in the TAMI [technology, advertising, media and information] sectors, we’ve got to have some new product,” says Bruce Mosler, chairman of global brokerage at Cushman & Wakefield.

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.

On July 13, 1999, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the 130 West 57th Street Studio Building and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 2). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. There were six speakers in support of designation, including the owner of the building, representatives of the Landmarks Conservancy, the Society for the Architecture of the City, and the Historic Districts Council.

Summary Built in 1907-08 to provide living and working facilities for artists, the studio building at 130 West 57th Street is a rare surviving example of this unusual building type, and a reminder of the early twentieth century period when West 57th Street was a center of artistic activities. Designed by architects Pollard & Steinam, who had previously created several artists' studio cooperatives on West 67th Street, this building profited from the experience of the developers and builders who had worked on the earlier structures. The artists' studio building type was developed early in the twentieth century, and was an important step toward the acceptance of apartment living for wealthy New Yorkers.
