All photographs by the author BY: EVAN BINDELGLASS 8:00 AM ON JUNE 1, 2016 The huge MiMA residential building, designed by Arquitectonica, opened in Hell’s Kitchen in 2011. Its 500 rental units stretching up to the 49th floor were topped with a further 151 units across 13 more floors. Those luxury units were known as One MiMA Tower, and they opened in 2012. Now, they are undergoing a change, and YIMBY got the first look inside. http://newyorkyimby.com/2016/06/scoping-out-the-views-from-condo-conversion-manhattan-view-at-mima.html[6/8/2016 1:15:57 PM] Scoping Out the Views from Condo Conversion Manhattan View at MiMA - New York YIMBY Exterior of MiMA Related Companies originally developed the project, located at the southwest corner of West 42nd Street and Dyer Avenue, but last year, Kuafu Properties and SCG America saw promise in units with good layouts and purchased One MiMA Tower. Those units are now being converted to condominiums, under the name Manhattan View at MiMA. The residences of Manhattan View at MiMA include studios from 566 to 608 square feet starting at $1.46 million, one-bedrooms from 649 to 1,064 square feet starting at $1.73 million, two-bedrooms from 1,137 to 1,480 square feet starting at $3.49 million, and three-bedrooms from 1,617 to 2,135 square feet starting at $4.86 million. Interior designer Jamie Drake of Drake / Anderson is handling the conversions. “Each and every residence has its own uniquely stunning view and my design for the interiors celebrates that,” said Jamie Drake. Some of his touches will include smart home automation that includes allowing you to unlock your door with your phone, LEED Gold certification (a rarity for condominiums at this point), marble countertops, stainless steel kitchen sinks, and Toto Supreme toilets. “I was inspired by the continually exhilarating, effervescent spirit of the great city I call home and love so much. With icons of the skyline sparkling and glittering outside every window, I wanted to bring that same excitement and elegance inside.” http://newyorkyimby.com/2016/06/scoping-out-the-views-from-condo-conversion-manhattan-view-at-mima.html[6/8/2016 1:15:57 PM] Scoping Out the Views from Condo Conversion Manhattan View at MiMA - New York YIMBY Indeed, the changes start before you get upstairs.

The residences, offering spectacular views from over 500 feet up, were originally planned as condominiums and are currently ultra-luxury rentals, achieving some of the highest rents in New York City. Kuafu Properties intends to bring fresh vision and introduce the residences as for sale condominiums. Located at 460 West 42nd Street at the gateway to Hudson Yards and Manhattan’s dynamic Hudson Yards neighborhood, One MiMA Tower has been one of the most iconic collection of residences in New York City since opening in 2012. Located atop MiMA, One MiMA Tower has its own entrance lobby, elevators and commanding views. It has been positioned as an even more distinguished luxury rental than the already very high-end residences at MiMA. One MiMA Tower is well-known for its spectacular Hudson River and Manhattan skyline views, as well as one of the largest residential amenity packages in Manhattan, covering over 44,000 square feet. Every amenity is provided for on premises. This, coupled with LEED Gold Certification, promotes a healthy lifestyle for residents with a resident-only fitness club managed by Equinox, swimming pool, full-size basketball court, outdoor terraces and catering kitchen.

BENFATTO, JR., ESQ. District Manager July 27, 2011 Ricky Wong Special Applications Unit NYC Department of Consumer Affairs 42 Broadway New York, NY 10004-1716 Re: Newsstand application (LICENSE #1396324) Dear Mr. Wong: Manhattan Community Board 4 (CB4) recommends a denial of a proposed newsstand to be located on West 42nd Street at the southwest corner near Dyer Avenue. We reject this application for two reasons: The plan provided by the applicant did not reflect all sidewalk obstructions (like tree pits) and adjacent building particulars (service doors). The measurements used for distance to entrances did not follow the newsstand rules that clearance be measured parallel to the curb from a line drawn between the curb and the nearest edge of such entrance (rather than from the actual entrance). Under these rules, the location does not have the proper clearance. This is particularly important given the substantial number of apartments in the building near the newsstand (MiMA) and the proposed location across from the buildings’ entrance and service doors. Please note. the majority of the sidewalk on the south side of West 42nd Street between Dyer and Tenth Avenues is still fully blocked and under construction. We would welcome an application from the proposed newsstand operator in September, when sidewalk construction should be completed and after he has time to properly prepare the drawings and identify a location that meets newsstand placement rules related to distance from entrances.

    An Evaluation of the Costs and Benefits of New York City’s Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project Michael Meola Eric Kober Kei Hayashi March 13, 2019 An Evaluation of the Costs and Benefits of New York City’s Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project Michael Meola Eric Kober Kei Hayashi March 13, 2019 Executive Summary: • The City’s goal to transform the Hudson Yards District from a largely vacant, underdeveloped transportation and distribution zone into a vibrant mixed-use, medium to high density district of workers, residents and visitors is being achieved ahead of projections, with over 30 million square feet of new development completed or in construction since the rezoning in 2005 • The $3.5 billion infrastructure investment that the City made, or has committed to fund, through Hudson Yards Infrastructure Corporation (HYIC) bonds to facilitate this transformation is paying off as the essential first step to attract vast private investment in the District that otherwise would not have occurred • Tax abatements in Hudson Yards are consistent with long-standing City practice to stimulate development where it is not occurring, and have contributed to the viability of commercial development in a previously fringe location • City payments to cover interest on HYIC’s bonds from 2007 to 2018 totaled $358 million; it is now estimated that future revenues from the District will not only pay off the bonds but will generate more than $21 billion in net revenues to the City • The opening on March 15th of the Related/Oxford Hudson Yards Project, the largest in the City’s history, built over the MTA Rail Yard on a billion-dollar privately funded platform, is the symbol of this remarkably successful public/private development that evidences the enormous strength of the City’s economy • The MTA has received over $1.2 billion for its property over the MTA Rail Yard and retains valuable development rights that it will be able to sell in the future • Additional benefits to the City include extension of the No.

  • In the Heart of Welive, a New Apartment Tower in the Financial District Created by the Office Space Provider Wework, Is a Communal Area Known As the Whiskey Lounge
    The Kava Cafe, a restaurant and coffee shop on the ground floor of MiMA on West 42nd Street, is a popular gathering place. CreditBenjamin Petit for The New York Times In the heart of WeLive, a new apartment tower in the financial district created by the office space provider WeWork, is a communal area known as the Whiskey Lounge. The intimate space — in a prime spot off a communal kitchen, lounges and a central staircase — looks like an old speakeasy, with warm lighting, leather seats and a polished bar. Bartenders from a rotating list regularly take over the space, which seats 15 people but can pack in as many as 25. One week this spring there were three events: a curated whiskey tasting held by WeWork’s own bartenders, a wine tasting by a vineyard, and a caipirinha night hosted by Leblon Cachaça, an artisanal liquor brand from Brazil. When bartenders aren’t in residence, tenants can bring bottles and mix their own cocktails using a number of supplies, from shakers to bitters, stocked in the bar. Residents gather there after a long day at work or before going out, often inviting friends from outside the building. “You tell your friends this is my little unique space, and people love it,” said Quinton Kerns, a 31-year-old WeLive designer who lives in the building. “It’s not something you see very often in a residential building.” While such places are still a novelty, more and more new residential buildings nationwide are offering creative bars — for coffee or alcohol — for their residents.

Based off of the application, dated July 7, 2015, and enclosed along with this letter, Manhattan Community Board 4 (MCB4) recommends that the bus stop at this location be denied and proposes that the stop be established on 41st Street at the Northwest corner of 41st Street and Dyer Avenue, which is better suited for such operation. The operator opposes the MCB4 proposed location. Should the Department of Transportation (DOT) approve the stop at 327 West 42nd Street in spite of our opposition, we ask they do so only if all the stipulations described below are included in writing in the licenses, in order to mitigate the potential negative effects of this decision. Background MCB4 has long been a supporter of bus travel, which reduces the amount of vehicular traffic in the city. As an example, in 2010 MCB4 advocated and obtained 70 parking spaces to be located in our neighborhood for bus companies.

  • The 10 Most Valuable Manhattan Condo Filings Accepted in 2016
    1/3/2017 Manhattan Condos | Condos NYC | 15 Hudson Yards The 10 most valuable Manhattan condo filings accepted in 2016 Related Companies’ 15 Hudson Yards tops the list with a projected sellout of $1.7B December 30, 2016 04:00PM By Miriam Hall « PREVIOUS NEXT » Clockwise from left: 161 Maiden Lane, 15 Hudson Yards, 70 Vestry Street, 460 West 42nd Street and 90 Morton Street What a difference a year makes. In 2015, seven Manhattan condominium plans projecting total sellouts north of $1 billion were accepted by the New York State Attorney General’s Office. But this year, only one Manhattan project crossed the billion­dollar mark, and developers abandoned several condo projects with projected sellouts north of $100 million. Related Companies has a hand in the two priciest condo developments accepted in 2016. The developer is shooting for a whopping $1.7 billion sellout at 15 Hudson Yards, the first residential tower at the Far West Side megaproject, and aiming for a more subdued $697.7 million at 70 Vestry Street in Tribeca. It’s been a rocky year for Manhattan’s residential market. In the third quarter of 2016, sales dropped 18.6 percent year­over­year. Only 17 percent of properties went for above the listing price, compared to 31 percent in the same period of 2015. The high­end part of the market, in particular, has been suffering, and many developers across the city are shifting their focus to the $1 million to $3 million market. We looked at Manhattan’s condo offering plans accepted by the Attorney General in 2016, and ranked the top 10
