Massive crane was on site today. Things are starting to get interesting here.
|
I can't be the only one who honestly thought that this would never happen.
In somewhat related news, Gateway might actually happen too... |
|
All of the pieces are coming together.
The crane is up. Looks like there may be another going up. SEPTEMBER 10, 2017 http://m2.i.pbase.com/o10/06/102706/...910_085820.jpg http://m3.i.pbase.com/o10/06/102706/...910_085755.jpg |

Would make sense to have one crane on either side of the courtyard ...
|
let's be on the lookout for construction twitter/instagram pics inside --
i would like to see what it looks like while they are working with the big cranes up in there. :tup: |
Let me just say that that crane now looks extra ominous when it's hanging over 31st Street. Very long.
|
When and if they do the Penn South concourses they should make space for the L and 7 trains to be connected to the station as well. Linking those two lines would be a smart idea.
|
Modernism can't come close to the warmth and beauty of old beaux-arts, and other styles that offer detail on the façade. That building is a beauty. Just compare it to those glass and steel monoliths behind, no comparison there. No wonder Paris is considered the most beautiful large city in the world. Even though I tend towards the hyper futuristic, sometimes I think the past is actually better.
Kudos to Monyihan for having the foresight to put the station there. Pity he didn't live to see it. On the topic of people not seeing their work complete: I hope ol' Silverstein also gets to see his work finally done. I'm sure he's a good sort and is not the greedy selfish dude that most people make out on here. |

The Path connection will be through the Hilton corridor? |

But the corridor that will connect Penn to the Path was supposed to be reopened with the demolition of Penn Station and construction of 15 Penn. http://nypost.com/2010/11/28/remembe...imbels-tunnel/ |

So excited to see this moving forward, really interested to see what restorations will take place on the historic facades just as much as all the new additions.

The city needs to demo Penn and rebuild if it's really committed to improving rail...

Quote:
More important than that is getting those new hudson river tunnels built. Other than that, this new station goes a long way towards what a completely rebuilt Penn would. Sadly, the kind of grand construction of the original wouldn't happen today. What you would get is what we are in fact getting now. The problem is the original never should have been destroyed. |
We can only hope that the special permits are allowed to expire...
|
I hope there is a rezoning effort around MSG similar to Midtown East. Not that we need the space at the moment, but given how long they take nows the time to start planning.
|
The buildings just south of the current MSG/Penn/Moynhian complex should also be bought up to truly expand the capacity of the station.
|
NYguy illustratred as much of the previous page with the posting of future plans for high-speed rail.
|
Looks fine. An improvement anyway. It's no grand Victorian railway station of course.
What really needs to happen now is the complete redevelopment of the whole block that MSG sits on, but that will probably never happen. |
NYGuy, very cool photos of the interior construction progress!
|
how would a new station ever be a grand victorian era station? completely absurd.

Anyway, here's a panorama of the station as it was in 1910, just inaugurated Pretty interesting vista, as you not only see the station, but the old Post Office and the then much more modest skyline of Midtown Manhattan (nevertheless, by that time, it must have been pretty impressive) with the tallest tower being the Times Building. In this link you can get that panorama at a VERY high resolution, along with many other spectacular panoramas and maps of old New York in high resolution. http://minimalgoods.co/free-download...ork-city-maps/ https://s1.postimg.org/4el9ev0v5b/pa...ughson_Haw.jpg |

I lost track of this thread. Can someone please explain, link to 1) what the final approved plans are for this; and 2) what’s being done in “phase 1” (or are they going ahead with the whole project at once)?

Phase one is completed and opened already.. Penn Station west end concourse is now connected to the Farley Building. Phase two has started and is in progress.. to be completed by 2020.. here's a link from Curbed NY with the details and some photos. https://ny.curbed.com/2017/6/16/1582...-redevelopment |
What's the latest news/expectations re Madison Square Garden? Is its permit expected to be renewed after it runs in 2023?

More on the city's efforts in regards to that... http://rew-online.com/2018/03/29/lif...g-island-city/ |

This may possibly be the greatest single improvement in New York City's history... the crappy current Penn Station turning into a modern take of a classic train station.

Great update by baronson on YIMBY + credit to c.lilianmarlen 1 on Instagram. I know this does nothing to solve Penn's actual track capacity issues, but I still can't believe this project is actually happening :

One thing at a time. This will GREATLY enhance the circulation, flow, and feel of Penn Staion - taking it from the current dump to something the City and passengers can be prouder of. Getting that rail tunnel built is a must, and will enhance the capacity issues. Both have to be done, but better capacity aside, visibility and access goes a long way. https://www.instagra A/?taken-by=c.lilianmarlen https://scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram...98270464_n.jpg https://scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram...85116672_n.jpg https://scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram...92282880_n.jpg |
Still shaking my head at the missed opportunity to integrate the long distance bus carriers
