Manhattan West
Manhattan West is a 7-million-square-foot (650,000 m2) mixed-use development by Brookfield Properties, built as part of the Hudson Yards Redevelopment. The project spans 8 acres and features four office towers, one boutique hotel, one residential building, 225,000 square feet (20,900 m2) of retail space and a 2.5-acre (1 hectare) public plaza. The project was built on a platform over Penn Station storage tracks along Ninth Avenue between 32nd and 33rd Streets.
The project is bordered by Tenth Avenue and the Hudson Yards mega-development to the west and Ninth Avenue and the Moynihan Train Hall to the east. The taller North tower (One Manhattan West) extends 995 feet (303 m), and is one of the tallest buildings in New York City. The project was largely completed in 2021, and held its grand opening on September 28, 2021.
First conceived as a project in the 1990s, ground was broken for the site in January 2013. In May 2014, permits for complex were submitted and approved. Under the updated 2014 plan, the complex was set to be completed by 2020. By the end of 2014, a $680 million platform over train tracks leading into Penn Station between Tenth and Dyer Avenues, atop which the Manhattan West development would be built, was completed.
In October 2015, the Qatar Investment Authority invested a 44% stake in the $4.5 billion mixed-use development project. The deal included the formation of a joint venture between Brookfield Property Partners and QIA for the development of 7 million square feet (650,000 m2) of residential and office space in five buildings that Brookfield said would be worth $8.6 billion upon completion. Initial plans included a 62-story residential tower and 67-story skyscraper. In 2017, plans for an additional, 59-story skyscraper were filed.
Manhattan West is part of the Hudson Yards Redevelopment, a larger plan to redevelop the Hudson Yards area, which extends from the west of Pennsylvania Station to the Hudson River.
During the summer of 2020, Manhattan West opened Citrovia, an outdoor garden of 16.5-foot (5.0 m) constructed lemon trees bearing hand-painted lemon slices—to obscure the scaffolding on the construction site. The interactive display is no longer available to visit and is currently being deconstructed upon the completion of the second tower.
Manhattan West officially opened to the public in late September 2021.
In September 2021, a $50 million plan to build pedestrian bridges connecting the High Line and Manhattan West was announced by New York Governor Kathy Hochul and Brookfield Properties. Groundbreaking for the approximately 1000-foot extension, called the Moynihan Connector, took place on February 24, 2022. This project will connect the High Line to Moynihan Train Hall through Manhattan West.
