One Vanderbilt will house a huge world-class restaurant

A little-noticed feature of SL Green’s One Vanderbilt, which broke ground last week, is a giant world-class restaurant on the tower’s second floor.

Diners will reach the venue — 11,000 square feet, part of which will boast an incredible ceiling height of 105 feet — through an entrance at the corner
of Vanderbilt Avenue and East 42nd Street.

SL Green managing director Brett Herschenfeld said, “We are in the latter stages of selecting… one of the top restaurateurs in the world.”

You can clearly see it in the renders...

You're gonna be hungry. You've got about a 4 year wait.

Gale Brewer is starting to look like Boy George. Yikes.

Don't insult Boy George. He doesn't have triple and quadruple chins.

How come there's no diagram for this building?

Fair point. She doesn't have a neck so much as a fleshy, vertical extension of her head that attaches to the upper body.

Hey look! Ms. Brewer just got promoted to prophet!

There is, its still listed as proposed though, so it doesn't show up in the NYC list with default settings.

I think it's safe to say that this one is U/C

And definitely for the better, as this is one of the best proposals out there right now. While the Central Park Tower will probably be finished first, this one is more than worthy of the title of "Midtown's tallest"

Another interesting read...

BTW, every time I look at those model photos, I see that panoramic view wrapped around it, the view we will get from the observation deck. It will be spectacular.

Depends on where you are. The restaurant itself is at about 900 ft, the observation levels stacked somewhere above that.

Also, this tower could very well be 1301 ft, 1401 ft spire. DOB filings haven't been updated.

Picture a very beautiful little person smacking you in the face for calling her a midget. That's about the feel this tower will give us from above.

Banker Steel Awarded Contract for One Vanderbilt Project in Manhattan
New Building Will Transform NYC Skyline and Strengthen Grand Central District

NEWS PROVIDED BY
Banker Steel
Nov 01, 2016

Quote:

Banker Steel, one of the country's leading structural steel fabrication and erection companies, announced today that it has been awarded the structural steel framing contract for the prestigious One Vanderbilt project in New York City.

One Vanderbilt will be a new, 1464-foot high, 1.6 million square feet building located at 42nd Street and Vanderbilt Avenue, immediately adjacent to Grand Central Terminal. Slated for completion in 2020, One Vanderbilt will completely transform the New York skyline and the experience of those in the Grand Central District.

Banker Steel will be under contract to provide all structural steel framing (26,500 tons) for the project as well as responsibility for the erection, beginning Summer 2017.

SL Green Realty Corporation is the project's developer. Banker Steel will be under contract to Tishman Construction, the general contractor.

"One Vanderbilt is precisely the type of large-scale, complex, heavy steel fabrication project that fits the unique capabilities of Banker Steel," said Don Banker, Chief Executive Officer and co-owner of Banker Steel. "This project will literally transform the New York City skyline, creating a more vibrant District around Grand Central Station. Banker Steel is thrilled to partner with SL Green Realty and Tishman Construction to bring this amazing new office tower, and doorway to Manhattan, to life for thousands of visitors and commuters."

Banker Steel subsidiary NYC Constructors will be erecting the steel that is fabricated at plants located in South Plainfield, New Jersey and Lynchburg, Virginia. Steel erection is scheduled to begin July, 2017. Banker acquired New York City-based NYC Constructors and New Jersey-based MRP LLC, together referred to as NYCC, in March of 2016.

The transaction provides Banker's customers with a vertically-integrated suite of erection and fabrication services. With One Vanderbilt, NYC Constructors will become the steel erector for projects that are among tallest office towers in New York City, including One World Trade Center, the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere.

"We are excited to have Banker Steel and their erection subsidiary NYC Constructors on the One Vanderbilt project in New York City!" remarked Harry J. Olsen – Project Director for SL Green Realty. "Properly positioned, talented, hardworking, teams build successful projects. The Banker / NYCC personnel and associated fabrication plants will be a very positive addition to our current project team."

Here's the proposed scheduling again. I'll say they're on course.

Yeah, I wonder when this thread will be moved to the "Under Construction" forum. Even CNN mentioned this building a couple weeks ago -- http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/19/design...ngs/index.html
