Tour: 455 5th Avenue - Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library
Northwest corner from Fifth Avenue.
The New York Public Library’s renovation of the former Mid-Manhattan Library at the corner of 40th Street and Fifth Avenue has wrapped up and officially opened to the public. Now renamed to the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library, the renovation of the 1970’s branch library was led by Mecanoo with Beyer Blinder Belle. Before the six-story building was repurposed as a library, it originally opened as a department store for Arnold Constable Co. in 1915.
The renovation created capacity for 400,000 books and other circulating materials, along with updates spaces for the children’s library, teens library, business library, adult learning center, 17,000 square feet of general reading and study space, 11,000 square feet of multipurpose space, and a rooftop terrace.
The Long Room is structured as a 31 foot wide and 85 foot high linear atrium between three floors of flexible reading areas and five floors of book stacks. An abstract artwork by Hayal Pozanti occupies the atrium ceiling.
The three floors of reading areas feature bespoke reading tables at a length of up to 66 feet and supported by the building’s original steel frame. Chairs at the reading tables are an exclusive design collaboration with Thos. Moser for NYPL branch libraries.
A Children’s Library and Teen Center are located on the lower level and connect to the ground floor with a staircase and large light wells.

Construction Tour: Times Square Theater
Construction is underway at the restoration and renovation of the Times Square Theater at 215 West 42nd Street from Stillman Development International and Daishin Securities. Led by Beyer Blinder Belle, the renovation will convert the original 1920’s theater structure by architect Eugene DeRosa into a 5-story, 52,000 square foot retail/entertainment/restaurant space with an outdoor terrace on the third and fourth floors with views of 42nd Street. Colliers International will oversee leasing.
As part of the renovation, the original Indiana limestone façade will be lifted by five feet and a 23-foot tall glass overlook constructed at the second floor, cantilevering out over the street. The theater’s proscenium arch and ceiling dome will also be restored by experts offsite and repositioned in the newly renovated space.

Tour: 70 Charlton
North tower from Charlton.
Construction has completed at 70 Charlton, the first luxury residential tower in the newly rezoned Hudson Square neighborhood in Manhattan.

Situated mid-block, the development is composed of two towers, fronting Charlton and Vandam, connected by a central courtyard at the ground floor.

Residential lobby entry.
As an acknowledgement of the historical character of the neighborhood's industrial past, the towers are clad in brick, metal, and glass. The red brick walls are punctured by large divided-light windows, referencing the warehouses and printing factories of the neighborhood's past. Large metal reveals at the floor slabs break up the brick walls every two floors. Metal is also used as floor slab covers in-between the two-story window groupings, providing further industrial texture to the facades.
Building amenities, designed by Workshop/APD, include a landscaped courtyard with green wall, birch tree arbor, staggered boxwood garden, water feature and integrated seating, outdoor sports court and private fitness center, 60' indoor salt-water swimming pool, steam room and locker rooms, 24-hour doorman/concierge, residents’ lounge with catering kitchen, package room and a children’s playroom.
