I believe this project is one of the casualties of the current financial crunch. I think the foundation was complete, but there has not been any further work on this site in weeks.

Maybe its a crane still attached to riverplace 2? In the riverplace thread you there are photos with what appears to be the same crane.

You mean the lower crane on the extreme right of the photo - that's a smaller residential development.

That's the riverplace crane.

I'm glad this project is cancelled. The design was disappointing. Maybe it'll get a new, better design when it starts up again in the future.

Canceled? Who said it was canceled? It looks to just be on hold for the moment.

Someone please re-label this project as "On Hold" please so I stop getting excited that it's back on track and then am quickly disappointed

Checked out the site a couple of weeks ago, and it was yet another lake at the bottom of a deep pit...

45-Story West Side Tower Downsized?



Monday, March 22, 2010, by Pete

Quote:
The original Hell's Kitchen Swimming Hole was drained, and now another wet 'n wild (and inactive) construction site is on the endangered list. The pit for the Moinian Group's Atelier II tower on the far end of West 42nd Street is getting ready for at least a partial plugging. Signs have gone up at 605 West 42nd Street announcing "the West Side's hottest retail opportunity," a narrow blockfront of two-story glass that's a far cry from the 45-story, 764-unit residential tower that was planned for this site. That slanting residential high-rise, given some Curbed love way back in 2006, was to be architect Costas Kondylis' sibling to his original Atelier nearby. Is the hunt for retail tenants a sign that the tower has escaped arrested development purgatory? We'll have a lifeguard on duty keeping watch.

Might a big-box retailer be interested?

The floorplans from the folks at Winick show that there's 100,000 total square feet available, spread over two floors above ground with another chunk down below. That's just a drop in the bucket of the full footprint for this site, which runs for a lengthy 450 feet along West 43rd Street and stretches another 200 feet along the full block of Eleventh Avenue.

Foundations and footings for the tower were set in place months ago, but since then the big tub has seen little action. Winter brought buckets of wet stuff and now the site is a placid lake of murky green reflecting the towers above. When the holes gets filled and new retail arrives, the residents across the street at the recently opened Silver Towers will no longer have lakefront vistas to gaze at.

Wow. How did the water get that grungy looking just over the winter?
(I'm assuming that the water has only been there since the winter, from the sound of the article.)

They should stock it with fish and open it to the public.

Those morons at Curbed keep getting dumber.

That pic has been on-site for years now. It isn't a downsized tower; it's just a cropped pic for the retail space.

Winick is a real estate leasing agent. They could care less about the residential portion of the project. They are marketing retail, not condos.
