Construction Update: Sendero Verde
Southwest corner of the phase two tower from Madison Avenue.
Brick installation is nearing completion at the phase two tower at affordable housing development Sendero Verde in East Harlem by developers Jonathan Rose Companies, L+M Development Partners, and Acacia Network. Designed by Handel Architects, the 34-story phase two tower sits at the northwest corner of the full block development. The tower is adjacent to the 10 and 15-story phase one buildings that were recently completed at the eastern half of the block. When complete, the entire Sendero Verde complex will offer 695 affordable rental units and become the largest fully affordable Passive House development in the world.

Along with the nearly 700 affordable residential units, the development will also offer community space for Union Settlement Association, a school with gymnasium, an 18,000 square foot courtyard, and pre-existing community gardens relocated to the new open space.

Construction Update: Cornell Tech Campus
East view of the Cornell Tech campus.
Construction is wrapping up at the first phase of the new campus for Cornell Tech on Roosevelt Island. The full master plan calls for a campus of 2 million square feet of space and 12 acres of open space for approximately 2,500 occupants.

The House at Cornell Tech
The House at Cornell Tech, designed by Handel Architects and developed in partnership with The Hudson Companies and The Related Companies, will offer 350 residential units for students and faculty of the college. Rising to a height of 270 feet, the tower is the tallest building on campus and will be the world’s tallest Passive House designed structure at completion. The Passive House energy standard was developed in Germany and is considered the most rigorous energy efficiency standard in the world. Buildings designed to this standard typically achieve energy consumption reduction of 60% to 80% that of a similar code building.
South façade of The House and southeast corner of The Bridge.
As part of the energy efficient design of the building, the façade is clad in unitized mega panels of metal panel and punched windows that are designed and prefabricated for better control of air infiltration, reducing heating and cooling loss. A special color changing paint is employed on the metal panels that will shift from silver to warm champagne in the natural light. The southwest corner of the façade features a vertical strip of louvers that act as the building’s “gills”, concealing the outdoor space where the heating and cooling equipment are housed.
Amenities will include furnished common spaces, fitness center, landscaped ground floor porch and rooftop terraces, rooftop party room, and bicycle storage.

The Bridge at Cornell Tech
The Bridge at Cornell Tech, designed by Weiss/Manfredi and developed by Forest City Ratner Companies, will serve as a corporate co-location facility to bring together established tech companies, startups, and academic researchers to accelerate the introduction of new technologies to the market. The 230,000 square foot building will pursue a minimum of LEED Silver with sustainable features such as 16,500 square feet of rooftop solar panels, efficient water fixtures, stormwater capture, and a ground floor elevated 10 feet above the 100 year flood plane. A glass curtain wall with a vertical frit pattern clads the steel structure, offering expansive light and views to the 14 foot floor to floor height work spaces.

The Bloomberg Center
The Bloomberg Center, designed by Morphosis, serves as the main academic building for the first phase of the Cornell Tech campus. Faculty and students will be able to work independently and collaboratively in the building’s flexible space. Interaction with the public will be facilitated through the café and terrace. As with the other buildings on campus, The Bloomberg Center will pursue aggressive sustainability standards as it sets a goal of being the largest Net Zero energy use building in the United States. All of its energy will be generated on site through the use of geothermal wells for heating and cooling and a canopy of solar panels at the roof.

Morphosis has designed an iconic metal panel façade to cover the unitized, continuously insulated rainscreen wall system. A system of perforations in the panels catches the sunlight to create an organic pattern visible on campus and from afar.

Cornell Tech Campus
Progress continues at the new Cornell NYC Tech campus with façade installation continuing at the residential tower and beginning at the Bloomberg Center.
Construction continues at the new campus for Cornell Tech on Roosevelt Island. Steel erection is complete at Morphosis' Bloomberg Center and Weiss/Manfredi's co-location building, known as the Bridge at Cornell Tech. Façade installation has begun at the west façade of the Bloomberg Center. At the Hudson Companies' 26-story residential tower for graduate students, facade panel installation has reached the half way mark. Designed by Handel Architects, the tower will be the world's tallest project built to the Passive House standards for energy efficiency. Phase One looks to be on track for its mid 2017 opening date.

Cornell Tech Campus
Construction steadily progresses at the Phase One site of Cornell Tech's new campus on Roosevelt Island.
Construction has made impressive progress at the new campus for Cornell Tech on Roosevelt Island. Since last month's update, steel erection Morphosis' Bloomberg Center has reached the fourth floor, with only the rooftop canopy left to be installed. Weiss/Manfredi's co-location building, known as the Bridge at Cornell Tech, has surpassed the fifth floor with its steel superstructure. At the Hudson Companies' 26-story residential tower for graduate students, concrete superstructure has reached the 11th floor. Designed by Handel Architects, the tower will be the world's tallest project built to the Passive House standards for energy efficiency. Phase One looks to be on track for its mid 2017 opening date.
