Construction Update: Manhattan West
Northeast corner of 1 Manhattan West.
Construction continues at Brookfield Properties' Manhattan West, the six building mixed use mega-development adjacent to the new Hudson Yards neighborhood. The latest component of the project to begin construction, One Manhattan West, continues to rise. Designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM), the 67-story tower will offer 2.1 million square feet of office space when it opens in 2019. Curtain wall installation has begun on the lower office floors above the lobby. A slightly smaller 62-story office tower at Two Manhattan West, also designed by SOM, will follow in 2021 on an adjacent site to the south.

5 Manhattan West
Southwest corner from 10th Avenue.
Construction is wrapping up at 5 Manhattan West, a 1969 Brutalist office building renovated by REX. The original precast concrete façade was removed and replaced with pleated glass curtain wall panels that restore floor area lost in the original sloped design. Occupation in the zone adjacent to the facade was previously impeded by the sloped walls.

Nearing the 15th anniversary of the tragic events of 9/11, the rebuilding effort at the World Trade Center site has made great strides over the past year towards completing the master plan. In late June, Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners' tower at 3 World Trade Center topped out at 1,079 feet tall. Santiago Calatrava's World Trade Center Transportation Hub opened in March, while the retail component opened in August, including a massive two-story store from Apple.

This past June, the elevated Liberty Park opened atop the World Trade Center Vehicular Security Center. Work continues on the adjacent St. Nicholas National Shrine, also designed by Calatrava, which replaces the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church that was destroyed on 9/11.

Designs for the final element, the Ronald O. Perelman Performing Arts Center, were announced on September 8th. The REX designed center, set to open in 2020, will feature a glowing façade of translucent, veined marble laminated in a glass curtail wall.

Situated adjacent to 5 Manhattan West, Brookfield's 62-story, 844-units residential tower at 401 West 31st Street has topped out and much of the glass curtain wall has been installed. The design of the curtain wall includes a horizontal mullion cap at the intermediate mullion directly above the integrated louver for the PTAC units and a pronounced horizontal metal spandrel panel every fourth floor. Design of the tower is by SOM, architects for the two office towers set to eventually rise to the east, with SLCE Architects serving as Architect of Record.

At 5 Manhattan West, a 1969 Brutalist office building currently being renovated by REX, installation of the glass curtain wall has completed on all but the corner piers and ground floor spaces. The original precast concrete façade has been removed and replaced with pleated glass curtain wall panels that restore floor area lost in the original sloped design. Occupation in the zone adjacent to the facade was previously impeded by the sloped walls.
