A new mixed-use 24-hour neighborhood will rise on
the West Side of Manhattan. As envisioned, development on the Eastern
Rail Yards is principally commercial, while development on the Western
Rail Yards is almost entirely a mix of rental and condominium residential
buildings.
Nearly 5.4 million square feet of state-of-the-art
sustainable Class-A office space will span four buildings anchored
by the new World Headquarters of The Condé Nast Publications.
A multi-story glass enclosed Galleria at the base of two of these
buildings on the Eastern Rail Yards serves as an organizing system
for retail space, an indoor refuge for the open space and provides
a critical linkage through the site to a dramatic 10th Avenue plaza.
In total, 6.4 million square feet of housing, approximately
7,000 units, will be developed in buildings designed with great
variations in height and positioning to maximize light, air and
views. All residential rental buildings will be developed through
the 80/20 affordable housing program. |
