Smile NEW YORK | 100 West 37th Street | 743 FT | 68 FLOORS

Potential development in the future.

May grow to be taller if the assemblage grows, and thus, more air rights.

This could be a sizable neighbor to Vornados two or three assemblages in the area. All which will be towers.

===============================
===============================



Himmel + Meringoff to sell 235K sf of Midtown air rights




Quote:
Investors Isaac Chetrit and Ray Yadidi are in contract to buy 235,000 square feet of air rights in the Garment District from Himmel + Meringoff Properties, as part of a larger assemblage play, The Real Deal has learned.

The unused development rights are affiliated with the landmarked Haier Building, the five-story former home of the Greenwich Savings Bank at 1352-1362 Broadway.

The 51,470-square-foot property is far smaller than zoning laws would allow. Over the course of a decade in the 1990s, Himmel + Meringoff acquired the fee, the leasehold, the mortgages and a long-term lease at the property. Then, in 2001, the Flatiron District-based real estate investment firm sold the building to Haier America, the U.S. arm of the China-based appliance maker, for $14 million. Himmel + Meringoff opted to hold onto the air rights. If the air rights deal were to close, Garment District-based investors Chetrit and Yadidi will have gathered an assemblage spanning roughly 375,000 buildable square feet, sources said.

The price was not disclosed. In October, they paid $54.3 million for a one-story retail building at 993 Sixth Avenue from Empire Hotel Group, which scrapped its plans for a 44,000-square-foot hotel, according to property records and sources. Chetrit and Yadidi also own a 21-story, 96,000-square-foot office building at neighboring 989-991 Sixth Avenue, which they bought in 2007 for $49 million, records show. Chetrit, Yadidi and Himmel + Meringoff did not respond to requests for comment. The Himmel + Meringoff air rights are flexible in that they can be used on the same block or transferred across the avenue. The block-long property at 1352-1362 Broadway, constructed in 1922 as the bank’s headquarters, has frontage on Broadway, Sixth Avenue and West 36th Street. The alternate addresses are 981-987 Sixth Avenue and 101-111 West 36th Street. Robert Shapiro, a veteran assemblage broker and president of City Center Real Estate who was not familiar with the deal, said the value of air rights in that area are north of $500 per square foot on average. The Haier Building, which houses the popular events venue Gotham Hall, hit the market in June for an undisclosed amount. Gotham Hall’s net lease across three floors runs through 2033. Further north in Midtown, Chetrit and Yadidi secured $130 million in refinancing for a pair of office buildings at 15 West 47th Street and 22 West 48th Street in October. Vornado Realty Trust also has a sizable assemblage in the area, with three contiguous properties in Penn Plaza on 34th Street, between Seventh and Eighth avenues.

It's a small lot, and a lot of air rights, so this one could be very tall. I assume this will be a hotel-condo tower.

So this commercial real estate development has not provided the public with plans for a soaring skyscraper, but I commend you for providing valuable intel on this interesting potential.

It becomes fairly easy to predict developments once you understand the trends and see the patterns. Most of the time, big players like Extell, Vornado, Greenland, and Tishman Spyer, just to name a few, rely on assembling large properties for having the development rights that they seek. Given the lot, the sq-footage, and any potential for untapped air rights in adjacent properties, you can almost think like they do. Couple of factors also play in, such as the demand, neighborhood, the typical portfolio and how much capital they pour into the city via the annual reports and so on. Lastly, the history of the developer.

With Extell for example, in Manhattan, that's in the range of 200-300k+ sq ft, on the UES or UWS will most likely be condos. Just knowing the development patterns can help you speculate on a potential development, and you'll most likely be right. You might be thinking rentals, but condos can generate more income as they can be priced to extraordinary amounts, and have less of a market influence to them. What we've seen are just that, lots of condos. Ussually buildings that are over 300 ft, containing fewer than 150 units.

Brooklyn is the spot for rentals now. Mostly everything going up there in DoBro are rentals.

One thing I'd recommend to keep an eye on is the property purchases along the Brooklyn and Queens waterfront facing the river. Even in the S.Bronx. These will be hubs of affordable, and market rate units. Lots of them too (1000+ units).

With this potential development, the area will guarantee that its noticeable. Near MSG, with two reputable and with a proven track history investors, and yeah, this will be a tall tower.

This could be 900' - 1000'+ depending on which site the Cherit transfers his air rights to.

I've followed this trend just like you have.
I totally understand and fully agree with your logic, it makes perfect sense!

It'll be nice to see this stuff go down.

The empty lot, as this is dated 9/14, has a hotel rising now.

Isaac Chetrit, Yadidi plan Midtown tower of up to 80 stories

Quote:
Investors Isaac Chetrit and Ray Yadidi are planning a mixed-use skyscraper of up to 80 stories in the Garment District, after closing Wednesday on the missing piece of an assemblage spanning 375,000 square feet, sources told The Real Deal.

The block-long assemblage on Sixth Avenue between West 36th and 37th streets consists of two existing buildings and 235,000 square feet of adjacent air rights. Himmel + Meringoff Properties sold the air rights affiliated with the landmarked Haier Building at 1352-1362 Broadway, also known as 981-987 Sixth Avenue for an undisclosed price, sources said. The Haier Building itself is not part of the assemblage.

Given the as-of-right zoning, sources said the most probable use of the property is a mix of residential, hotel and retail.

Chetrit and Yadidi, who respectively run AB & Sons and Sioni Group with their families, have allocated a total of $280 million in investment. This includes the property and air rights acquisitions and pre-construction costs, sources said.

The 21-story office building at 989-991 Sixth spans 96,000 square feet, while the one-story retail building at 993 Sixth Avenue offers 44,000 buildable square feet. Chetrit and Yadidi paid $49 million in 2007 for the former and $54.3 million in October for the latter, property records show.

In a span of three years, the building at 993 Sixth Avenue soared in value – by more than 350 percent. Empire Hotel Group, which paid $12 million for the building in 2012, abandoned plans to build a 122-key hotel on the site.
Demolition of the existing buildings won’t happen for at least three years, sources said.

Himmel + Meringoff declined to comment, as did Chetrit and Yadidi.

Please don't tear down the 21-story 989-991 Sixth Ave. It is a very handsome, charismatic tower.

Instead, they should transfer all the air rights to the empty (now partially built) corner lot and build a tower there.

I like that little classic building (Haier), always felt that a Steinway type of development could go on here. Somebody get SHoP!
Also, this site is as close to the ESB as the Hotel Pennsylvania, so tall and slender would do fine.

That's the dream. SHoP that is. The location is impeccable, and I hope that the design can somewhat complement the ESB. Its good that the ESB is starting to get some serious company that's so close to it. 30 Hudson is dominating, but its not as close while this could have the potential to be over 1100 feet. Although I think we will all shit bricks if this thing is 1300'. Might need to hit the bottle due to the excitement.

A spire to complement the ESB, the same way Chrysler and One Vanderbilt will form a duo...that would be nice. It's still early, I think I read the buildings won't be touched for 3 years or so.

A user on SSP, Torch, has created a set of interesting images that illustrate the visual impact this this tower will have on the skyline.

Outstanding location from all vantage points.

Assuming this is SHoP's assignment, it's a shoo-in that we'll get an elegant design that deeply respects ESB.

If I'm correct that the still-unknown status of 15 Penn changes to all-systems-go, this tower should make it look somewhat less visually contrastive to ESB.

Had forgotten about this one, but I do believe something went up on that corner lot. I'll have to pay more attention the next time I'm walking by.

Isaac Chetrit quietly shopping Sixth Avenue development site
Garment District player is weighing offers while pursuing plans for a skyscraper over 70 stories





By Mark Maurer
October 10, 2017


Quote:
Isaac Chetrit and Ray Yadidi are quietly shopping their development site along a prime strip of Sixth Avenue in Midtown’s Garment District, The Real Deal has learned.

The investors’ companies, AB & Sons and Sioni Group, are considering scrapping plans for a mixed-use skyscraper of at least 70 stories on a site with 375,000 buildable square feet, sources said. The assemblage occupies almost a full block along Sixth Avenue between West 36th and 37th streets.

Although the firms haven’t hired a broker to officially market the site, they have received several offers north of $200 million from prospective buyers, sources said. At least one offer was in the $225 million range, sources added.

Work on the project has already started.

Demolition is underway at 993 Sixth Avenue and construction plans are being drawn, sources said. But if the firms, which are primarily investors and have not tackled a ground-up project of this scale, would sell if they get a good offer, sources said.

Chetrit and Yadidi finalized the assemblage in 2016, with the $26 million purchase of 235,000 square feet of air rights affiliated with the landmarked Haier Building from Himmel & Meringoff Properties. The assemblage also includes the 21-story office building at 989-991 Sixth Avenue and a unfinished hotel project at 993 Sixth Avenue. Chetrit and Yadidi paid $49 million in 2007 for the former and $54.3 million in October for the latter, property records show.
Representatives for AB & Sons and Sioni Group declined to comment.

The firms have yet to file a permit application for a new building, hire an architect or secure construction financing. Earlier this year, they were negotiating with two prominent international architects, Christian de Portzamparc and Jean Nouvel, sources said at the time.

The market for Manhattan development sites appears gaining steam again after a period of decline. Recent deals include Skyline Developers’ $83 million purchase of 12-18 West 55th Street, Sam Chang’s roughly $60 million pending purchase of 140-142 West 24th Street , and Extell Development’s $80 million purchase of 2551-2555 Broadway.

Chetrit, who is a cousin of development mogul Joseph Chetrit, is also redeveloping a former retail building at 1420 Broadway into a new hotel, and planning to open a new rooftop bar at the 24-story building next door at 1412 Broadway by year’s end.

If AB & Sons / Sioni Group are considering sheving the plan for a mixed-used @ 70+ stories, than this site is prime for a investor and developer who WILL have the functionality of a mixed-used. Its just what the site needs and I feel will yield a success. Given the area, a hotel + residential could in theory catapult this past the 300m mark.

A Jean Nouvel pick would be great. Verre 2.0???

If we've seen anything with the 5th Avenue projects (below 40th) that are rising or planned, I think the trend is 900 ft > greater as the Midtown peaks migrate South.
