nice find. from the article:

Quote:

Fortunately, the one such structure that used to inhabit 1717 Broadway, at the northwest corner of 54th Street, has been razed, and in its stead a new 752-foot Marriott is scheduled to rise, designed by Nobutaka Ashihara and developed by the hotel chain together with Granite Broadway Development. According to the news accounts, the hotel, which is expected to have 68 stories and be completed in 2013, will contain two hotels related to the Marriott chain, a 378-room Courtyard and a 261-room Residence Inn by Marriott.

that sounds promising. construction is likely to begin very soon!

The pace of construction has picked up considerably in Midtown, with several new projects now approved or actually getting built. Among these new buildings will be 1715 Broadway, which will be the tallest building solely used as a hotel in New York upon completion. Located on the corner of 54th Street and Broadway, the new hotels (two will occupy the building) promise to bring added vibrancy to an already active neighborhood.

The site today... couldn't see below the netting, but it's interesting that the whole block has basically been demolished.

Looks like we'll start soon.

The guys building these midtown hotels (Moinian supposedly right next door) might do well and take a movie break, and see some of the work of the best architects:

The Architecture & Design Film Festival (www.adfilmfest.com), now in its third year, returns to Tribeca Cinemas (54 Varick Street), October 19-23, 2011 with a fascinating lineup of more than 30 films from 12 countries. The festival celebrates the creative spirit that drives architecture and design.

Looks like they started with site preparation already. This will be fully under construction in no time.

Another one going up in Manhattan...

Oura · #**111** Posted **Oct 19, 2011, 3:26 PM**

I wonder if this one will touch the residential building next to it and residents be forced to brick up their windows or if it will be set back from it.

THE BIG APPLE · #**112** Posted **Oct 23, 2011, 2:43 AM**

It's going to be cool to see this one going up along with 250 West 55th Street. They're literally next to each other. Let's see which one tops out first (probably 250 West 55th cause it's already U/C and it's shorter.

yankeesfan1000 · #**113** Posted **Oct 23, 2011, 11:05 PM**

This is already one floor up!

Danielson27 · #**114** Posted **Oct 24, 2011, 12:40 AM**

if it is above grade then this one should be moved to the highrise construction forum

SkyscrapersOfNewYork · #**115** Posted **Oct 24, 2011, 12:44 AM**

Moving this to construction.

RoldanTTLB · #**116** Posted **Oct 24, 2011, 4:57 PM**

This area is a forest of cranes right now with this tower and the one on 8th ave going up at the same time. If the other hotel goes up it will be WTC-esque.

hunser · #**117** Posted **Oct 24, 2011, 6:22 PM**

Great, I was counting the days till this tower is finally U/C. Btw can a mod please remove the "DEMO" in the thread title? Thanks.

It has nice contrast; certainly will be a nice filler.
