Bringing a slice of Miami to NYC. Arquitectonica is very big in Miami-Dade. Also they have their headquarters there. Very slick designs, with grooves, sharp edges at various declines and a splash of blue are most of their designs. They are a very top-notch firm. I like this concept for Riverside.

Yeah I agree. A mix of mid rises and high rises with an ocean feel to it would be cool. Also lining the East River on the Queens side.

Permits Filed For Riverside Center Building 3, 400 West 61st Street

The five-building megaproject at Riverside Center already has two towers under construction, and now plans have been filed for a third, 37-story building with an address at 400 West 61st Street.

It will reach 478 feet into the air and have 595 apartments, making it the largest of the Riverside buildings so far. The project will encompass 858,772 square feet of residential space and 18,467 square feet of ground floor retail, spread between “East” and “West” towers, according to the Schedule A. And a 358-space parking garage will occupy two levels in the cellar.



The filing reveals an extensive list of amenities, including several lounges, game rooms, children’s play rooms, a gym, spinning and boxing rooms, and an amphitheater. While we’re not sure whether this building will have a “poor door” like 1 West End Avenue, the rental and condo towers do have separate entrances.

The developer is listed as Boston-based General Investment and Development, but the contact on the permit worked for Silverstein, which is developing much of Riverside Center, until last fall. The architect of record is Goldstein, Hill and West, who have worked on the design for every building in the complex.

The project’s first two high-rises at 1 and 21 West End Avenue kicked off construction in 2013, and are tentatively scheduled to wrap up in 2017.

Revealed: 400 West 61st Street, Building 1 Of Riverside Center

YIMBY recently brought you renderings of proposals for Building 1 of Riverside Center by Arquitectonica, and permits were subsequently filed for the parcel earlier this month. Now, we have the reveal for the project, which will be designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox. It sits on the northwestern corner of the greater Riverside Center development, next to West 61st Street and the West Side Highway.

GID Development is developing, and this parcel will contain two towers of commercial and residential use, the shorter standing 24 stories tall, and the taller rising 39 floors, sharing a common podium.

DOB permits list the project’s total size at 858,772 square feet, which includes 18,467 square feet of retail space. The residential component will be divided between 595 apartments, with rentals in the shorter tower, and condos in the taller building.

Riverside Center’s masterplan was created by Christian de Portzamparc, and while the individual buildings getting built are differing significantly in terms of cladding, they are conforming to the jagged envelopes projected in the renderings that passed through ULURP.

KPF’s take on the plan appears fairly similar to what was originally envisioned, in stark contrast to the other buildings revealed or under construction so far, at 1 and 21 West End Avenue. The latest rendering appears to have more in common with high-profile projects immediately to the south, and the uppermost levels of the towers will be sliced away, yielding extensive outdoor spaces.

While no completion date has been announced, both fresh permits and the new rendering are hopeful signals work will soon get underway.

I'm assuming this is for Riverside Center Building #4

Extell, Carlyle bringing 244 more apartments to Riverside Center Plans filed for 24-story building at 633 West 59th Street
http://therealdeal.com/blog/2015/07/....RyCaFx2d.dpuf

Extell Development and the Carlyle Group filed plans for the latest addition to Riverside Center: a 24-story residential property at 633 West 59th Street.

The building will have a total of 244 units, according to a permit application filed with the city’s Department of Buildings Wednesday. The filings show a pool on the cellar level, as well as ground-floor retail that will have a café. In all, the residential portion will span 326,189 square feet, with another 2,110 square feet to be used as a community facility and a 1,844-square-foot commercial space.

Extell did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Riverside Center, a development of five residential towers and neighborhood amenities, spans eight acres stretching from 59th Street to 61st Street along Riverside Boulevard. It is slated to include 2,500 residential units, 140,000 square feet of retail space, an elementary school, a 250-room hotel and a public plaza.

The 59th Street building would be neighbors with Elad Group and Silverstein Properties’ 42-story 1 West End Avenue, which has 246 apartments.

In April, Extell and Carlyle filed plans for a 36-story, 288-unit residential tower at 10 Lincoln Square, at the corner of West 59th Street and 12th Avenue.

That month, Boston-based GID Development Group acquired a portion of the Riverside Center project for $410.8 million. GID purchased 40 Riverside Boulevard, one of five buildings in the project.

You can always count on Barnett to choose the cheapest possible option. He's a bum.

GID in talks for $1B loan for Riverside Center towers



GID is negotiating with Wells Fargo and other banks to secure a loan of more than $1 billion for three towers at the Riverside Center development, Crain’s reported.

The Boston-based development firm led by James Linsley purchased the 92,878-square-foot site, located at 40 Riverside Boulevard, on the Hudson River west of Columbus Circle, for $410.8 million earlier this year, in a partnership with the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.

The discussions are occurring amid a flurry of big-ticket development loan activity. Insurance giant AIG, along with Apollo Global Management, provided a loan of $725 million to JDS Development and Property Markets Group in late June for the Billionaires’ Row condo at 111 West 57th Street. Back in May, JPMorgan Chase partnered with BlackRock and SL Green Realty to loan $1 billion to HFZ Capital Group for the purchase of 519 West 18th Street.

Some major lenders again seem bullish on New York’s luxury condo development after a period of uncertainty. Not all fears have dissipated though, as these partnership structures indicate. Both these loans, along with many others, included a mezzanine finance component to shield senior lender’s exposure.

Lovely. Sure hope it turns out as nice as the renderings. The glass will make all the difference.

[NorthernDancer]

Are there any plans for that huge, old, ugly building that separates this development from the pyramid building to the south?

[Busy Bee]

That's the IRT powerhouse and it's a grand industrial building that thankfully won't be going anywhere.

GID pays $265M for latest slice of Riverside Center site

GID Development Group just picked up another slice of Extell Development and the Carlyle Group’s Riverside Center project on the Upper West Side, paying roughly $265 million for three adjacent parcels on the site. Boston-based GID paid nearly $210 million for 20 Riverside Boulevard and another $55 million for two vacant parcels along West End Avenue and Riverside Boulevard, according to property records filed with the city Friday. The deal for the three properties — which feature a combined 1.1 million buildable square feet along West 59th Street, between West End and 12th avenues — closed Nov. 18.

The development firm bought a separate portion of the Riverside Center project, at 40 Riverside Boulevard, from Gary Barnett’s Extell and the Carlyle Group for nearly $411 million earlier this year.

GID subsequently applied for permits to construct a 37-story, 595-unit residential tower at 40 Riverside Boulevard. The firm, led by James Linsley, partnered with the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority on the deal and was reportedly negotiating with Wells Fargo to secure a $1 billion development loan for three buildings at Riverside Center. GID and Carlyle did not return requests for comment. A spokesperson for Extell declined to comment on the matter.
