SL Green plans office tower near WTC

200k square feet might not seem big, but I do think they will try to further enlarge the site. Also, since there is still a lot of space at the WTC, it might be some time before we see action beyond demolition happening here.

A prominent site. There have been a lot of sad demolitions on this tiny stretch of Broadway (Singer, city investment bldg, St. Paul Building)- and downtown in general. It's always struck me as sad then that this block of Broadway has been left with tiny crummy buildings after all of this.

Yeah, this block kinda sucks. I always thought it would make sense to expand the WTC site eastward towards Broadway, redeveloping the Century 21 tower and the lowrise junk along Broadway. Something like a 6 and/or 8 WTC.

Hopefully this is just the beginning of a full-block assemblage. SL Green is very patient, so may have its eye on a larger site. They waited forever to assemble the One Vanderbilt site.

I hope that's the case. Rather wait a couple of years and add some more developable area... a 25-35 floor office building would be a nothingburger for this area.

Article says they filed demo permits for a few buildings on Broadway, and the building on Dey.

Really hope they purchase everything on this block that faces Broadway, it's a total turd on an otherwise gorgeous stretch of Broadway.

I like the idea of another WTC addition. Hopefully they will convince the owners to sell the nearby structures, to really build something nice. A mixed used is always good. Pure office sounds risky given the competition.


This could be way bigger if they can buy the properties.

Wonder if they could buy more airrights from the subway station.

This spot really needs a full block assemblage and be a WTC8 or something similar. Obviously there is not the demand right now, but I would love to see a supertall on this site. With the right design, a 1500-1600 foot tower could be amazing (that would take some rezoning right?)

Also, some 175 and 179 are relatively handsome historic buildings. I'm a proponent of preservation by relocation in some cases, such as in the case of demolition. I've thought that if there were ever to be a low rise development in the Seaport parking lot at Beekman and Water street, why not relocate some of these buildings (or their facades) to that location?

I believe thats the goal + buying the nearby structures. To build a bigger assemblage.

I'd imagine they're looking to expand the site...200k feet in that area (especially at the entrance to the Fulton Street hub, is very tiny.

Yes it is, unless they are looking to build hotel space on the site. An office tower would be ideal because the site sits directly between the Fulton transit center and the PATH terminal.
The bulk of the block, in terms of footprint, is currently occupied by Centuy21 and the larger tower on top.

Oh, so that's where this assembly is.

The C21 building and the tower on top are horrendous...much worse than the hated Liberty Plaza next door. Maybe they will be included and razed...one can only hope.

^The Art Deco portion of the century 21 store on Church street is gorgeous and has a wonderful interior (Marred by poor signage and decals no doubt). The 60s tower is trash though.

Assuming they acquire everything they can on this block and some nearby air rights, this tower can get quite big, up to 1.9 million square feet. That's already bigger than 10 Hudson Yards, Salesforce Tower or the Wilshire Grand and very close to Manhattan's Bank of America tower!

Yeah, 1BP is about 2.3 msf, about on par with 4 WTC (2.5 msf).

I think this block would be an excellent choice for an office development. Of course, I would like to see anything here happen after 2 WTC is built.

Demo in progress!

I'm guessing this will be a skinny residential or hotel/residential condo. The footprint would be very odd for office.

I'm fairly sure that SLG said it will be a boutique office tower. I'm pleased that they're preserving the nicer buildings on this stretch and getting rid of the two junky ones. However, I'd love to see something happen with the small eyesore on the south end of the block that has the rancid sushi shop.
