It’s still wild to see so much modern development in an area I remember having low-rise buildings and parking lots when visiting family in the 80s/90s 🤯

1 WTC = 4 WTC = Brookfield Place right?

So is this going to rise out of the existing footprint with the commercial tower’s core? Lots of questions

Finally, someone says it.

It seems like it would be very expensive to reconfigure the already built office foundation for 3HB to be shifted to dual residential towers with separated cores/elevator shafts.

Based on the renders already put out, it appeared that 3HB layout would be a pretty standard concrete central core with perimeter steel columns so I would imagine substantial work would be needed to transfer everything.

Site K makes more sense.

These dual towers rise out of a shared core, I just don’t know how onboard BXP is

Will people actually want to live in buildings of this scale? I know I’d have reservations about paying market rate to live in a canyon of dirt cheap glazing. The area and density especially seems like a non starter for raising young families.  
Then again, flooding the market with ANY units, regardless of value or quality, should help the market.

Not saying this shouldn’t be built, to be clear.

Anyone who’d like to can add to the title for 418 11th Ave. with the following details:

418 11th Ave. 68 + 36 FLOORS and 798 + 419 FT

Could it be that (according to the floor plan) there’s a pool on the 7th floor?

So according to that massing, is it another totally different design? It’s does not look split in the recent renderings we know

The recent renders still show the commercial tower. This is also just a proposal that ESDC is proposing for the site jointly with 418 11th Ave, the site is still owned by BXP.

> New York Convention Center Development Corporation (CCDC), a subsidiary of ESD, prepared an Environmental Impact Statement for the project that the City began reviewing in March. According to the associated documents, the proposed project will be approved under a state-level General Project Plan, which grants ESD the authority to override local zoning laws. This state-level process allows the project to bypass New York City’s standard land-use review (ULURP), meaning it does not require a vote or approval from the City Planning Commission or City Council.

> In essence, this allows the State to effectively fast-track the development, shielding it from local political vetoes and saving months of regulatory delays to get construction started much faster.

> Construction is expected to begin in 2027 with an anticipated completion date in 2034, according to the documents.

Then construction on one of the towers will begin next year. This could align with the announcement of the winner of the RFP for Site K in 2024, since it stated that construction would begin in three or four years.

Are these two projects (418 11th Ave and 3 Hudson Boulevard) separate, or are they by the same developer? Since the thread on 418 11th Ave. isn’t currently being updated on the forum.

There’s separate threads for a reason, I don’t understand why (since this proposal by ESD has come up) that there is so much cross posting between some 3 odd threads. They are still 2 completely different projects and buildings from each other. Just because they were issued under one entity does not make them the same project, Almost all of the WTC was created by 2 entities, the are still their own buildings with their own threads.

Site K is Site K and 3 Hudson Blvd is 3 Hudson Blvd, the lots are not being merged, the blocks are not being merged.
