Brookfield Properties has secured an anchor tenant for Two Manhattan West, its 1.9 million-square-foot office tower currently under construction in New York City. National law firm Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP inked a deal to take 481,000 square feet at the forthcoming 58-story property rising on the Far West Side of Manhattan. The firm will be occupying 13 full floors in the building, which will serve as the national headquarters for Cravath once the firm moves into the property in 2024.

^ great news and yeah it has definately been looking u/c at that site for awhile regardless.

i wonder what is going to happen to worldwide plaza now with their big law firm moving out?

speaking of, anyone remember when pbs had a multi-part special about building worldwide? it was kind of unique then as it was built right on time. i'd like to see that mini-series again sometime, it was interesting for its day. and i miss the dollar movie theaters at worldwide -- that was a great deal -- now everything costs hudson yards money!

I've thought the same thing. Looks like a massive development assemblage.

They could build another tower similar to 1 and 2 MW, and we'd have the modern-day XYZ buildings. 9th Ave. as the new 6th Ave corporate row.

Or maybe WXYZ. The block to the immediate south is garbage too.

Is that block/assemblage owned by a single entity?

The October 7th article has the el cheapo design with the exterior support columns extending down through the lobby to bedrock. The November 5th article has the same floating tower design that makes its older brother one of the finest skyscrapers ever built. Here's hoping the VE version was only if the building was started on spec; and now that they have an anchor tenant, Brookfield has the balls to buck up for another masterpiece.

We watched that doc in my project management class. It has a neat companion book if you can get your hands on it too.

Two Manhattan West Prepares For Imminent Ascent, In Midtown

Quote:
Work is ramping up at the site of Two Manhattan West, a forthcoming 935-foot-tall commercial skyscraper and number 12 on YIMBY’s countdown of the tallest projects underway in the city. The final component of the Manhattan West complex, the 58-story tower will join its nearly identical sibling One Manhattan West, though it will cap off with a slightly shorter parapet. Skidmore Owings & Merrill is the designer and Brookfield is the developer of the two-million-square-foot project.

Photos show the state of activity beyond the green netting and construction fence.

Two Manhattan West sits immediately east of The Eugene, aka 6 Manhattan West, and across the street from the Farley Building. Work is occurring below street level, though it is slightly difficult to see through the construction fence. Materials and construction vehicles have been spotted coming in and out of the property, a sign that workers are preparing for vertical construction in the very near future. A two-acre landscaped plaza will sit in between One and Two Manhattan West and provide public access to the retail space. The development will also include a Whole Foods Market, Peleton fitness studio, and market hall called Manhattan Eats.

We should expect to see more foundation work in the first half of 2020, followed by the rise of the superstructure toward the middle of the year. So far, Cravath, Swaine & Moore is the anchor tenant for the skyscraper and will occupy 13 floors that amount to approximately 481,000 square feet. The firm is expected to move in by 2024.

Two Manhattan West is slated to be finished around 2022 and cost nearly $2 billion.

Steel really visible above street level now. This tower has been in stealth mode for a while.

Ready for liftoff: Steel rises at Two Manhattan West; 935-foot-tall tower to be anchored by Cravath, Swaine & Moore

The Hudson Yards neighborhood is about to add another giant tower to its skyscraper ranks. Over the past few weeks, a frame of massive steel columns and beams has risen above ground level at Two Manhattan West, an important benchmark in the building’s ascent towards its 935-foot, 58-story pinnacle. The 1.9-million-square-foot office skyscraper is the final puzzle piece within Brookfield Property Partners’ six-building, 5.4-million-sqaure-foot Manhattan West multi-use complex, which sits across Tenth Avenue from Related and Oxford Properties’ Hudson Yards development.

Two Manhattan West, located at the corner of Ninth Avenue and West 31st Street, rises across from One Manhattan West, its slightly larger, near-identical twin that is currently near completion. One Manhattan West, a 67-story, 2.1-million-square-foot office building designed by Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, is currently the third-tallest building in the Hudson Yards neighborhood at 995 feet, just high enough to pass the 300-meter, or 984-foot, threshold to qualify as a supertall.

Two Manhattan West shares many similarities with its older sibling. Both of the SOM-designed office towers feature a sleek, curved-glass facade with one side slightly tapered, and with sumblimely minimalist, open-glass lobbies with curved ceilings. Both sit across from the in-progress conversion of the historic James A. Farley Post Office building into the Empire Station, which will significantly boost the train-handling capacity the adjacent Penn Station; the sprawling, low-rise station provides immediate region-wide rail access and guarantees unobstructed panoramic views from all east-facing windows (though most of the prominent pair’s windows will offer unobstructed views in most directions, as well). Both offer column-free tower floors that span from 33,000 to 38,000 square feet, and as much as 50,000 square feet at the podium.

The two have just enough nuanced difference to give each a sense of independent character. Two Manhattan West’s tilting side is on the north rather than on the east (as is the case with One Manhattan West), and its base adds sleek, curved metal columns and parapet.

Two Manhattan West will complete the enclosure around the complex’s two-acre central promenade that aspires to compete with the likes of the Rockefeller Center in its scope of public amenities and programming. The elongated plaza, which opens onto Ninth Avenue at its east end and connects to West 31st and West 33rd streets in the west, will feature outdoor performances in the summer and ice skating in the winter. A retail arcade flanking on either side will provide pedestrian activity throughout the year.

One Manhattan West has already attracted corporate tenants such as the National Hockey League (NHL), Skadden, and McKool Smith, while its shorter, wider counterpart at Five Manhattan West has netted Amazon, Whole Foods, JPMorgan Chase, Peloton, R/GA, and IHS Market. Manhattan West also includes The Eugene, a luxury rental high-rise, the wavy-glassed Pendry Hotel, currently nearing completion, and the renovated pre-war Lofts.

Very excited to see the steel rise, the cantilevered steel over the lobby at One Manhattan was amazing.

Actual crane on site now. We’re down to the business phase of construction.
