860 Washington
Curtain wall installation continues at James Carpenter's office building at 860 Washington Street along the High Line.
Curtain wall installation continues at Property Group Partners and Romanoff Equities' 860 Washington in the Meatpacking District. Designed by James Carpenter Design Associates, the ten-story, 113,848-square-foot office and retail tower flanks the High Line's eastern edge at West 13th Street.
Southeast corner from Washington Street.
James Carpenter, known for his implementation of glass in projects such as 7 World Trade Center and the Fulton Transit Center, has designed the tower with a floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall on three of its four sides. Currently, the curtain wall has been installed on all but a few upper floor panels and the first three floors of the east facing facade along Washington Street. Carpenter's glass tower will contrast nicely with the industrial aesthetic of the historic brick structures and add to the recent diversity of materials from the likes of the Standard's concrete and the Whitney's metal facade.

The majority of the north facade's cladding, a profiled terra-cotta panel to conceal the elevator core, has also been installed. By pushing the circulation core to the northern fringe, Carpenter maximizes light and views to the High Line from the office floors.

After topping out in the spring, curtain wall installation is underway at 860 Washington in the Meatpacking District. Developed by Property Group Partners with Romanoff Equities, the ten-story, 113,848-square-foot office and retail tower flanks the High Line's eastern edge at West 13th Street. James Carpenter, known for his implementation of glass in projects such as 7 World Trade Center and the Fulton Transit Center, has designed the tower with a floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall on three of its four sides. Carpenter's glass tower will contrast nicely with the industrial aesthetic of the historic brick structures and add to the recent diversity of materials from the likes of the Standard's concrete and the Whitney's metal facade.

By pushing the circulation core to the northern fringe, Carpenter maximizes light and views to the High Line from the office floors. Retail space on the first three floors will be accessible from Washington Street and visible to those strolling along the High Line.
The building is targeting LEED silver and is projected to open in late 2015.

Superstructure has reached the final floor, marking the topping off, at 860 Washington in the Meatpacking District. Designed by James Carpenter, the ten-story, 113,848-square-foot structure flanks the High Line park's eastern edge at West 13th Street. When completed, the low rise tower will bring eight floors of office space and two floors of retail at the base. Given the all-glass composition of the exterior wall on all but the northern facade, building occupants will have dramatic views of the High Line and the surrounding Meatpacking neighborhood. The building is targeting LEED silver and is projected to open in the third quarter of 2015.

Superstructure has surpassed the halfway mark at James Carpenter's 860 Washington, an office tower at the High Line. The 10-story, 113,848-square-foot mixed use building adjacent to the High Line in the Meatpacking district has reached the 7th floor with its concrete structure. Retail will occupy the first two floors of the building, with the second floor at eye level with High Line visitors. The eight office floors feature ceiling heights of 11'-3" and column-free perimeters provided by the 15-foot cantilever from column to the edge of slab. A side core layout, with elevators and stairs located along the northern edge of the site, allows for full exposure along the east, south, and west facades. In stark contrast to the predominantly brick facades of much of the surrounding context, 860 Washington's facade will be an all glass curtain wall system, more akin to the newer office towers at the World Trade Center. The building is targeting LEED silver and is projected to open in the third quarter of 2015.

Foundation work is underway at James Carpenter's 10-story office tower at the southern end of the High Line. When completed in late 2015, the glassy tower will bring 2 floors of retail and 8 floors of office space to the trendy Meatpacking District. The simplicity of its glass curtain wall exterior will provide contrast to recent, nearby architecture, such as 837 Washington, that employs a more industrial palette of brick, concrete, and dark metal.

Construction Update: 860 Washington
Foundation work continues at James Carpenter's mixed-use retail and office tower at the southern end of the High Line. The project has been in the works for several years but construction seems to finally be picking up steam. When completed, the 175 foot tall project will bring 10 floors of office and retail space to the Meatpacking District, already teeming with many high profile residential, hotel and office buildings already constructed or on their way. According to construction managers CNY Group, they are hoping to lure “Google-esque” types of companies as tenants. As for sustainability, the building is seeking certification as a LEED Gold project upon completion.
