A corset building, Coach HQ, and a one of a kind fashion week pavilion. Not to mention a walkway to the Meatpacking District, and a new subway stop that is one stop away from the Garment district. This is clearly intended to be New York's new fashion district, in terms of commercial space, rec space, and office space. All so they can make the big bucks bringing in international money to the residential buildings, probably ranging 2-50 million dollars each unit. I wish I had even a sliver of that delicious deal.

Yes, it's able to begin a little sooner because it's located just south of the actual rails, like the Coach tower.

Sorry still not clear to me based on the last response.
A. No, it WILL begin before 2014 (sometime this year)?
or
B. Yes it will not start before 2014 and you just meant it would however start sooner than the rest of the towers over the rails?

Thanks for the clarifying.

^ Even if it did start this year, it would probably be another year before anything started to rise into the sky. It's supposed to start next year, unless Related alters plans. It's a very "fluid" situation, you probably should look somewhere else, with that level of uncertainty. But it's going to get built.

noticed this in the disagrams but "The Corset" is not the name for this tower, it's just an allusion the architects use to describe the shape of the building. It's still Tower D. Same with Tower E, which is called the "Equinox tower" because Equinox will have a gym there or even the "Coach Tower" because Coach is a tenant (through there are other major tenants who will occupy space in the building)

Actually, the Equinox tower will be the home of both Related and Equinox (which is also Related). There are no other major tenants planned for that tower because it will be residential/hotel. Related does have on other office tower planned on the western half of the site. As far as the Corset goes, its just a working name, and could change before the tower opens (we've seen that multiple times), or it may not.

Later that year, Diller Scofido + Renfro and Rockwell Group will begin work on Tower D, on the southeast side of 30th Street and Eleventh Avenue. This 72-story residential tower, called The Corset, will be half rentals and half condominiums — and will feature a network of crisscrossing straps that cinches the tower at its midsection, squeezing the rectilinear lower half of the building into a curvaceous upper half.

“Tower D will be completed in 2016, and will be affordable housing — both buildings will be 80/20, and affordable housing options will also be built at 529 W. 29th Street. There will be 139 units, and we are trying to make that 100 percent affordable housing,” said Rose.

The Culture Shed strikes again...I mean it strikes.

Quote:
Is Fashion Week Moving to Hudson Yards? Quite Possibly



Ellie
Lauren Levinson
25 July 2013

Poor New York Fashion Week: First it set up shop at Bryant Park, then it was bumped to Lincoln Center, and now we hear word via WWD that it may be headed to the soon-to-be-built Hudson Yards. Is it really that difficult to find a home for a massive number of designers, models, beauty pros, editors, buyers, bloggers, and celebrities? Yes.

But this move may not be a bad thing at all. Here's why: According to Hudson Yards president Jay Cross, NYFW needs a permanent home. And fashion veteran and CFDA chairman Diane von Furstenberg is totally on board. "I am super excited about the Culture Shed," she said, referencing the new multipurpose center to be built at Hudson Yards. "It will be a huge cultural center, and yes, a wonderful place for fashion week."

According to Cross via WWD, the Culture Shed is being built with four runways, studios, an exhibition space, and a 140-foot-high canopy that slides along tracks to create indoor and outdoor space. Von Furstenberg is heading the private fund-raising for this facility, which is said to be a $300 million project. It will be located on West 30th Street between 10th and 11th Avenues and will hopefully be ready by 2017. Other brands moving to Hudson Yards' South Towers include Coach and L’Oréal USA.

We may have von Furstenberg to thank for this Cultural Shed. The tale is she met with New York's former deputy mayor Dan Doctoroff in 2006 (when she took on the role of CFDA president) and told him her vision. "[Doctoroff] asked me what I wished for," she told WWD. "And I said, 'Give us a pier for fashion week.' Dan smiled and we started to talk. The idea of Culture Shed was born."

Yeah this has been in the works for a while. The site will host a number of activities, which will draw more people to the west side. Part of making this a lively part of the cityscape is to make it as active as the rest of Manhattan, pedestrians, tourists, shoppers, residents, as well as those who will work there.

I wonder if the fashion show move is also related to the complaints they get every time theres a show from the residence near the Lincoln Center. I always hear on FOX5 about the complaints of noise,congestion and lawsuits that have happened. Maybe they just don't want to deal with the complaints possibly.

It will not be active like the rest of Manhattan because it's not built like the rest of Manhattan in the traditional sense.

Once all of the events and workers go home from work at night and especially during the colder months, this place will be as lively as Battery Park City, which is to say not lively at all.

You can bet on it.

Similar to all of Lower Manhattan below Canal St. All the true 24/7 action happens in the village, hells kitchen, and most of Midtown but Hudson Yards is usually empty in general at night. But time will tell as we don't know what sort of future clubs or entertainment venues might open. With all the talk of dozens of residential towers and hotels I'm sure slowly that 24/7 feel might occur.

City Allots $50 Million to Arts Project Tied to Bloomberg Allies






By ROBIN POGREBIN
July 31, 2013

Quote:
When the details of Michael R. Bloomberg’s last capital budget as mayor were made final in June, one project stood out in particular: a $50 million appropriation for a nascent arts organization, the Culture Shed. It is New York City’s biggest cultural capital grant this year — and an unusually generous contribution to an arts group that has yet to hire staff members, stage a performance or set a construction budget.

But the arts institution has emerged as a favored project of the Bloomberg administration and is championed by Kate D. Levin, the city’s cultural affairs commissioner, who serves on the Culture Shed’s board.

The board’s chairman is Daniel L. Doctoroff, the former deputy mayor and chief executive of Bloomberg L.P., the mayor’s financial information company. As deputy mayor for economic development Mr. Doctoroff dealt frequently with the Related Companies, whose Far West Side development in Manhattan would be the site of the cultural institution when it is completed around 2017. Related’s chairman, Stephen M. Ross, is also on the Culture Shed’s board.

....The $50 million will probably cover only a minor portion of the Shed’s cost, which has yet to be determined but is expected to run into hundreds of millions of dollars. Plans call for a bold soaring structure designed by Diller Scofidio & Renfro — the architects responsible for Lincoln Center’s renovation and the design of the High Line — in partnership with the Rockwell Group.

....The building is to include an open-air fourth-floor cafe and a retractable shell that extends outward, more than doubling the first-floor exhibition space. The project is currently moving through the public review process, which is expected to be completed by the end of September; the city would own the lease for the land and building, subleasing it to the arts group.

First off, amazing news. The Shed is one of my favorite developments in the city and am so glad to see it getting nailed down.

Second, is the author of that article confused, or am I? In the beginning, the article says the 50 mil is for the organization, then later, asserts it won't be nearly enough to cover construction costs. Won't Related pay for the building and the 50 mil is for the Culture Shed org to rent the space, launch the organization, and day-to-day operations? Or the developer expects the Culture Shed organization to foot the bill for construction of the structure as well? And then the Culture Shed org will own it? It seems like someone's going to make a ton of money from this space renting it out to events like NY Fashion Week. I don't see why Related wouldn't want to own/pay for the Culture Shed and make bank renting it out. Sorry to be obtuse just trying to wrap my head around who owns what and who's paying for what.

Remember, the Culture Shed is a separate entity, not a project of Related's. It's one of the holdovers from the original site plan that hasn't changed over the various proposals for the site. It was there before Related was selected as a developer. The building itself was "moved over", and merged with the tower (which itself wasn't always a part of the plan) to create more open space. It's actually the reverse of what happened with the Freedom Tower, which original was to have its cultural center (PAC) configured with the base of that tower, before it was separated.

The Culture Shed is a great idea, what's even better is that the city's putting up a considerable amount for it. Really adds some confidence to the project, and furthermore, the Hudson Yards.
