This will also be "2 Hudson Boulevard".

Are those two 12 story buildings at the corners of 34th street owned/leased from coach? I read somewhere that they lease space in several smaller office buildings around 34th street.

Looks like the tower will be situated on the eastern side of the site, providing better views for both itself and the North Tower (Time Warner).

With the addition of One & Two Hudson Boulevard, the entire site now has a similar configuration to the World Trade Center. The potential is definitely there for a 'spiral' of continuity between the office towers. Would not be surprised if KPF was pegged for both of these new towers, as they should compliment the HY North & South Buildings.

Yes, they are moving forward with development plans here sooner than I would have expected with everything that currently has to be built over the railyards. But it makes more sense to move forward with plans for these sites because the subway station will be at the center of it all. Also, Related wants a "critical mass" of development, so the west side in general becomes more attractive. It's similar to what's taking shape with the WTC. The more you have open for business, the better it is for everyone.

Isn't that the Mickey D's from Supersize Me?

This is similar to the ESB when it comes to SqFt and lot size. ESB slightly bigger but I would imagine this could be a similar height and bulk.

with the crazy good deal that they scored with the yards, the timeframe for the platform over the yards, the carrying costs they're likely looking at for this site (not including the coach building, which will be a money maker for years with all the towers going up around it), and the competition in the area (at least 2 non-related office towers along hudson + the 3 manhattan west towers), it makes a lot of sense to push this site before the north tower on the yards site. which is something i'd quite like, since the volume of office space built out in the far west side could well delay the demolition of some midtown east beauties by possibly a decade or more, along with potentially getting the 7 looped down to penn station.

I find it hard to believe (well this is skyscraperpage so maybe I shouldn't be so surprised) that people here are worried about the loss of a freaking McDonald's drive thru (really?) and not a single mention of the loss of Coach's marvelous building.
Incredible. |

I mourn the century old multi-story horse stables on 36th? 37th? (between 11th and the Amtrak cut) that will probably be gone in a few years also. But all the construction and infrastructure are neat and help to drive the local economy. The world moves on. Quote:
Why looping to Penn? |
^ ?? because it's the midtown station for every line not coming from the north, and that extension of the 7 would feed commuters straight there.

Not that the Coach building is great either (look at that blank wall below), but it is far more appropriate for Manhattan than a drive through. If I had to choose between the two, it's a no brainer. But just imagine this McDonald's in all it's glory still standing as the north tower opens just behind and above it...Yeah, not pretty at all. http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/152930066/original.jpg |
Once Penn station gets it's desperately needed rebuild, this neighborhood is going to be truly spectacular.
