Construction Update: Manhattan West
One Manhattan West, the first of two new office towers at Brookfield Properties' Manhattan West, has officially opened. The tower is part of the six building mixed use mega-development adjacent to the new Hudson Yards neighborhood. Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM) led the design of the 67-story tower, which features a tapered massing with a glass curtain wall facade. An adjacent second tower of similar design will rise at the southeastern corner of the site.
Pendry Hotel
A 164-room luxury hotel operated by Pendry Hotels is currently rising on the northern boundary of the Manhattan West development. Also designed by SOM, the 281-foot-tall tower features a fluted glass curtain wall.
