Project Executive

RXR, in partnership with TF Cornerstone, is seeking a Project Executive to support the owner’s team delivering 175 Park Avenue—a ~3 million SF mixed-use, transit-integrated tower adjacent to Grand Central Terminal (office, ultra-luxury hotel, amenities, and major transit improvements).

Overall responsibility will be to coordinate daily with the design team and provide oversight and direction to the Construction Manager while managing scope, schedule, budget, risk, and reporting across assigned phases of work.

The Project Executive will be responsible for distinct phases of work including: utility relocations, existing Hyatt demolition, foundations and excavations, below grade infrastructure, on-site and off-site transit improvements and site logistics/protection for the life of the project.

The Project Executive reports to the Vice President and ensures that work is completed on time, within budget and to the highest quality. In this role, the Project Executive will oversee a Senior Project Manager and Senior Field Superintendent.

Wow. Seeing it from this angle has actually made me love the new spiky crown design. I dont think there’s anything like that in NYC. It gives it a much more unique flare. The compression atop doesn’t look noticeable at all. I cant wait to see this building gleaming on a summer afternoon.

Nice, and the best angle to view it from too! Or really at any point between Greenpoint and LIC

The “A-frame” points and angles complement Chrysler nicely.

I feel like the crown itself compliments Chrysler more, a curvy unique crown with the basic geometric shapes combined. I’ve criticized this tower, but I’ll agree that the base and the crown are the best. For tenants, the new layout with the columns is better too

People must be browsing this thread as within a day of it being posted, your fantasic render has been shamelessly reposted on facebook (without credit).

With these fantastic renders, the alterations have grown on me and aren’t as bad as initally thought. This and 2 WTC will be exciting to watch and document as they rise.

The Reddit post was me — I wanted to get ahead and put a version out there that’s watermarked with credits to me and the original photographer, but it looks like I was too late!
