First and tallest tower in Manhattan West complex is now open
The Tallest tower in Manhattan West is now open, and already nearly fully leased. One Manhattan West was built over the existing Amtrak line, and has a forty-foot lobby ceiling. It is expected to gain a gold LEED rating. The architects had the goal of making a timeless classic style, something unique in the city landscape. The lobby is said to be among the most dramatic in New York City, the result of a unique collaboration between the engineers and architects.
Key Takeaways:
- One Manhattan West has already leased out around 90 percent of its office space to organizations like the National Hockey League.
- Brookfield Properties’ Manhattan West project will also include Two Manhattan West and Five Manhattan West, both office buildings.
- In addition to office tenants, Five Manhattan West will include a Whole Foods, a Peloton, a Danny Meyer restaurant, and more.
“The structure is comprised of a reinforced concrete core and steel moment frame and was designed to accommodate the Amtrak railways running beneath Manhattan West. A transparent, 40-foot tall lobby surrounds the monolithic, carved structural core, which is clad in 400 tons of Italian travertine.”
