NEW YORK | 1150 6th Ave | FT | 38 FLOORS
This appears to be the midblock site between 44th and 45th Sts. It's a decent little building, but other sites on this part of 6th -- particularly on the northeast and southeast corners of 47th warrant development more than this. Hopefully, Moinian will not get control of the nice building adjacent to this on the north side.
Hopefully, Morris Moinian will aim a little higher for his project than his brother, Joseph, does. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...FTThirdStories NY REAL ESTATE COMMERCIAL DECEMBER 21, 2011 Moinian Wins Midtown Site By LAURA KUSISTO Luxury hotel developer Morris Moinian has big plans for a development site near 44th Street and Sixth Avenue in Midtown. Mr. Moinian has purchased the Pan American Magazine Building at 1146-1150 Sixth Ave. in an off-market transaction. He plans a $140 million development, with a 35-story building of roughly 140,000 square feet that could be either a luxury hotel or office building. Mr. Moinian also plans a major retail component for the site, at the nexus of two prime shopping districts—Times Square and Rockefeller Center. He said he would consider turning the site into a department store. "It's a golden location," said Mr. Moinian in an interview. "Locations like this do not come by often. Even if they do come by…there is a long list of people" to buy them, Mr. Moinian said. An Iranian immigrant, Mr. Moinian started out as an apparel manufacturer and began buying small apartment and office buildings in the 1980s, while in his 20s. His older brother, Joseph Moinian, bought a number of trophy properties during the recent boom. The younger Mr. Moinian has kept a lower profile, while quietly amassing a portfolio of more than 2,000 hotel rooms. In New York, he recently built the 122-room Indigo Chelsea, which is part of the Intercontinental Hotel Group, and a new boutique hotel in Hudson Square, which is presently under development. While there has been little new development in prime Midtown spots, Houston-based Hines plans a 28-story tower overlooking Bryant Park at Sixth Avenue and 40th Street. In addition, Thor Equities' Joseph Sitt plans a mixed-use complex at Fifth Avenue and 43rd Street, which he says will be 350,000 square feet and include a retail component. Mr. Moinian declined to disclose what he paid for the Sixth Avenue site. The property has been owned by a private real-estate family for more than 50 years.

A 35 floor office building would be around 500 ft. or so, assuming the standards of recently constructed Manhattan office buildings. Maybe a little taller.
I certainly hope Moinian hires a top architect. This is a very prominent location. |

This building has a very small footprint, so I don't think that it can accomodate a Nordstrom.

Looks like the Park Lane Hotel. Great.
|
I always somewhat liked PL's design (past tense because of IIRC news of its impending demolition.); but this "redux" of sorts makes it better. The top section does well in increasing the verticality. It shall remain to be seen if any of the materials used will try to not make it look dated.

The title should be changed to reflect the new stats (Post #6):

Why is a circa 1965 rendering appearing as a new project on SSP?
|
Looks like a much nicer version of the soon-to-be demolished Park Lane Hotel.
|
I dunno, they're promising wavy glass so it could be good.

Midtown building partially collapses, killing one

Why are many of these hotels set back the way that they are?
|
^ It's a way to work around the NYC zoning codes (sky exposure plane and set back requirements) while trying to maximize the hotel's layout efficiency.
In other words, to build as cheaply as possible while still meeting zoning requirements. |
^And a ridiculous unintended consequence of the code that should have been rectified YEARS AGO once the city could see how stupid the affects were. If a McSam special is going up in the Garment District or something, and the lot is between two 12 or 15 floor pre-war brick structures for example, the first 12-15 floors of the new tower should be flush with its' neighbors. ITS PRETTY FREAKING SIMPLE. I cannot believe we're still dealing with this shit. Sky plane be damned, USE COMMON SENSE!!! and a basic rule of thumb... Instead of preoccupying themselves with lopping off a couple hundred feet of a Jean Nouvel masterpiece, the Amanda Burden's of the city gov should have gone to work plugging this absurd oversight that is detrimental to urban design.
