Behold, a Mini-City Rises

Jeff Katz.


“This plan will do for New York what Canary Wharf has done for London,” said Jeff Katz, president of Sherwood Equities, which owns both commercial and residential property in the district. “In order for Manhattan to remain one of the most critically important financial centers, it needed a place to grow. We didn’t really have a place to grow before Hudson Yards was put into place.”

In contrast to Canary Wharf, which is about three miles away from London’s traditional financial district, Hudson Yards is nearly adjacent to midtown Manhattan. It remains to be seen whether the same type of star-studded architecture will take hold in the West Side’s former warehouse district as it did in London. Right now, experienced (if critically unacclaimed) architects like Costas Kondylis and Gene Kaufman have work going up. Sir Richard Rogers, Kohn Pedersen Fox, and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill—all of which also designed for Canary Wharf—have projects on the table.

Though residential use is supposed to dominate the northern and eastern ends of the district, office towers are supposed to be arranged in an “L” shape, north-south along 11th Avenue opposite the newly reborn Javits Center and east-west in the low 30’s. Key to the southern corridor are the Metropolitan Transportation Authority railyards, which have yet to go out to bid.

But it’s telling that two landlords are willing to discuss some details of their projects.

Brookfield Properties, which owns most of the block between 31st and 33rd streets on the west side of Ninth Avenue, is drawing up plans for four towers. Mr. Katz, the president of Sherwood, has come up with a schematic plan for his 11th Avenue parcel to show off to financial companies.

Mr. Katz said he would not start without securing an anchor tenant—which is normal practice for office buildings—but both the Sherwood and Brookfield parcels are large enough to provide the 65,000-square-foot trading floors that investment banks like J.P. Morgan Chase are now looking to build at the World Trade Center site.

"“In order for Manhattan to remain one of the most critically important financial centers, it needed a place to grow. We didn’t really have a place to grow before Hudson Yards was put into place.”

This was a legitimate concern he had? Is anyone actually worried that New York is going to tumble a few rungs down the relevancy ladder? I don't forsee that to be a problem in the near or distant future.

Interactive Look at Plan to Build New Midtown on West Side

October 25, 2011
By Mathew Katz


Quote:

Along with Related and Brookfield, Sherwood Equities owns several other large lots in the area, and plans to eventually build them up into gigantic developments, including a 2.4 million square foot building on the west side of Tenth Avenue, between West 34th and West 35th Streets.

The building would also stretch west to Hudson Boulevard, a new tree-lined park and street running from West 42nd Street to West 30th Street, between Tenth and Eleventh Avenues.

Several developers could not give specifics on their projects, but a number of them said they are waiting for Related to begin work on their large-scale development before beginning major work on their own projects.

RobertWalpole Oct 25, 2011 2:42 PM
Well it's not what will rise. In fact, Sherwood won't even build anything. They've said that they seek a partner because constructing a 2m+ sf tower is beyond their ken.

Development Thrives in the Hudson Rail Yards

By JULIE SATOW
April 3, 2012

Quote:
...not every developer is ready to begin building. Sherwood Equities, for example, recently bought its third parcel in the neighborhood, but is sitting tight for now.

“I think the economy needs to get a bit more traction before we start building on the sites,” said Jeffrey Katz, the chief executive of Sherwood Equities, “maybe another year or so, but it is hard to predict an exact time frame.”

Sherwood paid $43.5 million for 360 10th Avenue, a vacant lot at the third section of the High Line that can be developed into nearly 400,000 square feet of commercial and 200,000 square feet of residential space. It also owns a superblock on the west side of 10th Avenue between 34th and 35th Street that can be developed into 2.5 million square feet of commercial space; and a parcel on the east side of 10th Avenue between 35th and 36th street that can be converted into a 200-unit apartment building, Mr. Katz said.

Still, while it may be premature to begin construction, Mr. Katz said competition for good sites in the area was keen, with any parcel coming up for sale attracting a number of bidders. He said he went into contract and closed on 360 10th in fewer than 10 days. And according to Massey Knakal, which represented the seller on the deal, the sale was the largest development site sold last year in New York City.

If Sherwood Equities wants build a 2.4 million square foot tower, i hope for a tower like WTC tower 1. ;)

NYguy Apr 5, 2012 5:55 AM
Well, it remains to be seen what form this tower will take, but its possible the 360 site would get underway sooner, that one being situated between Related's and Brookfield's massive developments. I would give this one at least a couple of years (for design, development), but I've been surprised with pace of development on the west side so far.

Time Warner on the Prowl

Quote:
Time Warner, which is searching for 4 million square feet of space, plans at last to send out its requests for proposals. The media conglomerate, which owns its offices in Columbus Circle and leases space at 1100 and 1271 Sixth Ave., is looking at a wide range of options for when the leases come due, according to multiple people familiar with the matter.

The company is weighing some 20 sites, the people said, including Hudson Yards, the World Trade Center, and other sites on the far west side owned by Sherwood Equities Inc., Brookfield Office Properties Inc. Extell Development Co.

Time Warner intends to have a deal for a new space or to stay in place by the end of the year, according to a person familiar with the process. That could be good news for developers like Related and Brookfield, which are scrambling to land a tenant so they can get major new projects off the ground.

With all of these separate, partially-related projects going up on the West Side, is there a fear among some of the developers that if they are the first to build their project that the others might not come to fruition, leaving their building alone and less likely to get tenants/shoppers?

scalziand Jul 21, 2012 11:27 PM
^These buildings aren't going to be built with out anchor tenants.

At any rate, there already is one existing multimillion-square foot office building in the neighborhood-450w33rd, so new projects won't be alone anyway.

Wouldn't there be a hesitation on the part of the first major tenant to sign on to this area not knowing how much is actually going to be built?

Very true, but without the massive number of modern talls and super-talls going up in the area, the prestige/appeal would be limited.

Coach didn't seem to hesitate when they signed on to anchor the Hudson Yards South Tower.

Design-mind Dec 22, 2012 5:44 PM
If all these towers get the go ahead in this area, it will be a massive construction site just like the WTC sites. This is a lot of square footage to be added to this area. It will definitely revitalize this part of NYC.

There is an error on the webpage labeling the rendering (probably due to a sequencing change). There is no rendering of the smaller tower.

Office developers compete for anchor tenants on Manhattan’s western edge
With only a finite number of large potential renters, the fight for office tenants on the West Side is heating up.


May 01, 2013
By Adam Pincus


Quote:
Only a few times in modern Manhattan history has an entirely new office district sprung up all at once. In the 1930s, there was Rockefeller Center; the 1970s saw the World Trade Center complex; and today, developers are planning nearly 15 million square feet of new office space in the Hudson Yards area in the 30s on the Far West Side. The new projects expected to rise over the next decade include the Related Companies’ North and South towers at Hudson Yards, Extell Development’s One Hudson Yards, Brookfield Office Properties’ Manhattan West and Moinian’s 3 Hudson Boulevard, as well as Sherwood Equities’ 447 10th Avenue and Alloy Development’s 450 Hudson Park Boulevard.

But before starting construction on these new towers, developers must first land an anchor tenant willing to take at least 400,000 square feet of space. With only a finite number of large potential renters, the competition for office tenants is heating up, as some of the city’s top commercial leasing brokers and developers battle each other with slick marketing campaigns and — of course — behind-the-scenes jabs at rival projects.

In 2011, fashion manufacturer Coach signed on to be an anchor tenant of Related’s South Tower. But Coach was already located a few blocks away, in a building directly in the path of Hudson Yards bulldozers. For many of the other big companies whose names are being kicked around as possible anchor tenants, a move to the Far West Side would represent a significant geographic shift from Midtown or Downtown.

There are currently 10 to 20 companies said to be on the hunt for large chunks of Manhattan office space, brokers said. These include media companies Time Warner, Sony, CBS and News Corp.; law firms White & Case and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom; advertising firm GroupM; financial giant Credit Suisse; and fashion house Ralph Lauren.

Brokers for the new Hudson Yards–area towers are fighting to lure these tenants, but their efforts could be in vain if companies decide to stay in their current locations, or move to existing office towers instead. Despite these challenges, Hudson Yards so far appears to be beating the odds. Last month, Related snagged two more tenants for the South Tower: French cosmetics maker L’Oreal and software firm SAP.

447 10th Avenue
Developer: Sherwood Equities

Size: 2.5 million square feet
Expected completion date: TBD
Leasing agent: None

Midtown-based Sherwood Equities, headed by CEO Jeffrey Katz, owns three parcels in the Hudson Yards area. But much like Alloy, it is less well-known than most of the other Far West Side developers.

Sherwood is planning an office tower at 447 10th Avenue at 34th Street on a site it’s owned since 1986. (Sherwood’s two smaller sites in the district will likely become residential or mixed-use towers.)

But the firm is in no hurry to start construction on the massive office project, Nelson said, and Sherwood is not competing as fiercely for tenants as some of the other developers in the area.

“We are not being as aggressive as the others,” Nelson said. With rents in the untested neighborhood still relatively low, the firm feels that “it does not make sense to fight tooth and nail.”

He said he expects rents in the area to rise dramatically once tenants start moving in to other new buildings.

Sherwood is nonetheless on the lookout for tenants in need of large chunks of space. Sources said the firm responded to an inquiry from Time Warner about potentially taking space at 447 10th.

Nelson declined to comment on Time Warner specifically, but confirmed that Sherwood would indeed respond “if a tenant came along that needed 2 million square feet.”

Major site for sale in Hudson Yards
The block-long parcel on Manhattan's far West Side could trade for more than $200 million and host the city's tallest skyscraper—and its neighbor might sell, too.

Quote:
One of the largest development sites in Manhattan's Hudson Yards that could one day be home to the city's tallest skyscraper has hit the sales market.

The Rosenthal family has hired Massey Knakal Realty Services Chairman Bob Knakal and his colleague James Nelson to market a parcel it owns stretching from West 35th to West 34th streets between 10th Avenue and what will be a grand new thoroughfare running through the neighborhood called Hudson Boulevard. That parcel can accommodate as much as 1.2 million square feet of space, including about 200,000 square feet of residential development.

Also, the site sits directly next to another similarly sized piece of land owned by Sherwood Equities, which for years has planned to develop a single super-tower on the two parcels in partnership with the Rosenthals. Now that the Rosenthals are selling, Ryan Nelson (no relation to James), a senior vice president at Sherwood Equities who manages the company's acquisitions and sales, said it, too, will consider selling its parcel to either the buyer of the Rosenthal land or another purchaser.

Together the two sites could allow for an 1,800-foot mega-tower nearly 2.5 million square feet in size—what would be the tallest, and one of the largest, buildings in the city. Most of that structure would have to be for commercial use under the area's zoning, either office or hotel space, but it also could contain a substantial residential component as large as 400,000 square feet.

For now, Mr. Knakal and James Nelson are focused on selling just the Rosenthals' half of the land, which could trade for more than $200 million and can host up to 1.2 million square feet of development as well as reach 1,800 feet in height. Those parcels are located at 435 10th Ave., 507 W. 34th St. and 510-28 W. 35th St.

"We're offering the site up to the whole world to tell us what they want to do," James Nelson said. "It's one of the highest zoned sites in the city and it affords a host of possibilities, from building one big building to two or more buildings that include residential, hotel, office and retail space."

Ryan Nelson said that the two sites together, however, would appeal to major developers who want to have a presence in the Hudson Yards neighborhood, where millions of square feet of development are either underway or in the planning. "Together these sites are one of the best commercial development parcels in the area," he said.

Sherwood Equities is not actively marketing its site, but is likely to keep tabs on the sale of the Rosenthal site in the case that a buyer there would want to put together the whole block.

That sure would be amazing! No tower deserves the title of "King of New York" more than TV. But on the bright side we're still getting TV and who knows, something exciting my pop up on this site.
The West side is really on a roll, I wouldn't be surprised if that area ended up with the tallest tower in the city; loving it!

Sky88 Jan 11, 2014 10:11 AM
I think this tower will be 2000ft tall. For now it is only one possible idea, but I think it's finally time for New York to break the taboo of having a 2000ft tower.

It 's time for change. :tup:

I think it's likely that the Sherwood portion would be sold as well, since they won't really be able to build the tower that was planned. I think marketing the site as a potential home for New York's tallest tower is meant to appeal mostly to foreign investors (or a developer) who have been snapping up trophy towers in Manhattan at an increasing rate.

This is hardly any great big revelation. That half block site was always slated for 2.5 msf except now we find out that Sherwood did not own that whole site like we were all lead to believe.

That rendering is just what could be built in theory and we all know how those tend to end up. Let's not get too excited here fellas.
