CommentBreakthrough at Bryant Park Last Updated: 12:57 AM, February 9, 2011 Posted: 12:39 AM, February 9, 2011 Lois Weiss BETWEEN THE BRICKS Now that a prominent development partner and architects are on board, a key site catty-corner to Bryant Park is moving closer to a resolution. The Post has learned that Hines Interests is now working with Pacolet Milliken Enterprises, the owner of 1045 Ave. of the Americas, which takes up a full block front between West 39th and West 40th streets. The now-vacant site previously hosted the headquarters of Milliken & Co. and was recently demolished. Additionally, the architecture firm Pei Cobb Freed has now completed conceptual designs that do not need discretionary approvals, the owners advise. Richard Webel, president of Pacolet Milliken, said, "Together with Hines Interests, one of the leading real estate development entities, Pacolet Milliken has been working for the last several years to formulate a project that can satisfy the demands of both users and investors for the highest quality office space on this unique site. Offering in excess of 400,000 square feet of rentable area, the project is potentially positioned to be at the leading edge of the next development cycle." Paul Amrich of CB Richard Ellis, who may or may not be the agent for the future tower, declined comment through a spokesman. In December, the owners of the adjacent and recently landmarked Springs Mills Building, at 104 W. 40th St., sold 65,085 square feet of transferrable air rights to Pacolet Milliken Enterprises for about $12.2 million, or just under $200 a square foot. A spokesman for Savanna Partners, the owner of Springs Mills, declined comment. Back in March 2009 we warned you that Milliken was tearing down its former showroom building and planning a new, as-of-right development. No matter what is constructed, both the city and the Bryant Park Business Improvement District would be beneficiaries of enhanced payments and an improvement in the landscape. * Read more: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/busines...#ixzz1DTMvjzqy |

Thanks for fixing the title, NYGuy.
Hopefully, the design will be nice. |

Yet another piece of the puzzle, which is the impressive 6th Avenue skyscraper canyon. Fill in just a few more of these gaps, and we're gonna have an uninterrupted canyon of tall skyscrapers stretching from 24th all the way to 59th Street. Thirty-five blocks of 30+ story skyscrapers, back to back. Truly a backbone for Midtown's impressive skyscraper mass.

ive talked to guys at the site last year and they said this sight should be fully developed by 2013 |
This photo by Lofter1 of WNY shows the buildings that existed on the block before they were demolished. Fortunately, they're all gone.

This would be a great opportunity for something tall because its right next to the Bank of America Tower and the Conde Nast Building (and Times Square)
|
The developer is Hines, same as Torre Verre, which is certainly promising.
Hines is one of the nation's largest and most respected developers. A very tall, glassy tower would probably be best at this location, IMO. |

While a residential would have been taller, this should still be a lot taller than the typical 400k sf office tower because the site is small. While it runs the whole blockfront, it's quite shallow.

We'll see. I still predict a 500 footer, stretching a bit maybe even a 600 footer. A 700 footer would be fantastic.

I’ve been curious as to what is to become of this plot; I frequent the Marriot next door and have been keeping an eye on the deconstruction for a little while now. It’s a prime location and should provide for a nice addition to 6th.

^ Yeah, I was trying to envision just what would be appropriate for that location when I walked by a few days ago, and I predict a straight slab to maximize floorplates. Maybe 500 ft or so. I'll just wait and see.

This could be one of two new speculative towers being built, another signal that things are picking up...

Didn't some school recently enter a lease with Minskoff for space at this site?

And a 500/600 footer with some spire?:)
