:previous: I love skyscrapers and when tall buildings are built nearby, it creates density.
That is the formula that made New York, New York. A city so great, they named it twice. Let's build it twice. More towers, more density, no excuses. I want this tower! |

I don't think Vornado is currently marketing the Penn Plaza site, at least not overtly. They have always stated that they wanted to build in tandem with the Penn Station/MSG rebuilding. |
^ In that case they will have to wait a decade or two.

500 000 sf would be enough for the tower to start moving forward, right?

I hope the deal becomes a reality. Its good to see this area being considered. Now all we need is for BlackRock to sign for WTC2, and we can have two more supertalls or in the case of this tower near MSG, a potential super tall.

With the popularity of Hudson Yards and the upcoming overhauls to the Penn Station area, how the hell has this not attracted any potential tenants?
TD Bank agreed to anchor 1 Vanderbilt before it was even approved, so why is this tower, which was approved almost 6 years ago and (like 1 Vanderbilt) directly next to a major transportation center, failing to attract tenants? We keep hearing about how NYC needs more modern office towers but when developers propose just that, it then turns into an uphill struggle to find that one anchor tenant. 15 Penn and 2 WTC cannot catch a break it seems... |
I'm really looking forward for this tower to get going and I'm hoping Facebook chooses to come to Penn station. :cheers:

This tower was the first of all of the big new office towers to land a tenant, then that fell through. Similar things are happening with tower 2, but for different reasons. Vornado itself hasn't fully commited to getting this thing off. But there are many similarities to One Vanderbilt. This would have direct access to Penn Station, One Vanderbilt will have direct access to Grand Central. One Vanderbilt will be a key to revitalizing the area around Grand Central, the same as 15 Penn could do here. The only difference is that the Grand Central district has long been a central business district, while the city has left the area around Penn Station to be what it is today. Not to mention the multiple redevelopment scenarious with relocating Madison Square Garden that fell through. But with the development of the Hudson Yards area, particularly Manhattan West, the wave of change will hit this area. Vornado will land their tenant if that is where they truly wish to go. |

Inside Vornado’s Penn Plaza ‘war room’ Will Steve Roth’s quest to reposition one of the biggest office portfolios in the city pay off? http://therealdeal.com/wp-content/up...-plaza-map.jpg March 01, 2016 By Rich Bockmann Quote:

time for MSqG to take another hike . .
it almost happened again just before 911 . . and Gehry co-designed one of the handful of towers that was to replace it . . That tall one had a simple sumptuous half-fish-shape segment . . as part of its asymmetrical crown design . . It didn't resemble an actual fish . . of course . . the form consisted of converging complex-curves . . very sharp & uncommonly contemporary. I have mixed feelings about Pelli's massively bulky 15 Penn Plaza design . . though its glassy bulge . . seems trimmer than the pillowy Manhattan West towers. |

Hey NYguy, does this have any chance of being built?

They need an anchor tenant first. |
Its amazing to me that the hotel is still doing business. It's been draped for what seems like forever now.

I have fingers crossed for this one. The area around MSG is one of my least favorite in NYC. Glad it's starting to see some love- being right over Penn Station, there is the opportunity to support some real density here.

Vornado: Hotel Penn office conversion unlikely, tower may be turned into apartments

I guess this could be a good thing? I mean, no super tall office, but... BUT... it looks like Roth is insinuating a large residential possibily? Although I would hate the existing structure is kept and it becomes a hotel to residential conversion. If they took it down, a super tall residential would be nice. Hell, throw in a nice chunk of affordable housing.
Although the location is impeccable for office, but, with HY and everything else going up, the market is really competitive!!! :fingerscrossed: |
