Twin Supertalls Uncovered as Aspect of Backyard Metropolis, Attainable Relocation of Madison Square Backyard, in Midtown Manhattan
Community Board Five’s Land Use, Housing & Zoning Committee voted in a meeting on Wednesday to advance plans for a massive endeavor in Midtown involving the conversion of Madison Square Garden into a new concourse for Penn Station, and the generation of a new home for the athletics facility amongst two supertall skyscrapers near Herald Square. In the beginning proposed in 2016 by Vishaan Chakrabarti, founder of Exercise for Architecture and Urbanism (PAU), new renderings give visible context to the strategy, to which the town council agreed with the thought of The Madison Sq. Garden Company’s acquisition of a shorter extension of its recent lease.
PAU’s initiatives beforehand bundled the removing of the arena interiors, expansion of the transportation concourse floors, addition of passive heating and cooling, improvements to the northern and western entrances to the facility, and the addition of new platforms and tracks in conjunction with the proposed $13 billion Gateway Software. The cylindrical form of the building would be preserved, but numerous ranges of floors would be removed and the exterior would be re-clad in a new double-skin glass curtain wall, enabling pure light-weight to flood the open up inside and its 153-foot-higher span from the ceiling to the platforms.

Madison Sq. Backyard garden would go to an 8-acre web page consisting of two entire-block parcels bound by Sixth Avenue to the east, West 32nd Road to the south, Seventh Avenue to the west, and West 34th Road to the north. Straddling the new arena is a pair of supertall skyscrapers and two shorter towers, anchoring all 4 corners of a lifted podium over street level.
The rendering beneath gives an effect of the structure and scale of the structures and their impression on the Manhattan skyline. Whether or not or not these are shut to Vishaan’s meant layout is unclear, but they would easily eclipse the top of the Empire Point out Constructing and Kohn Pedersen Fox’s 30 Hudson Yards, becoming a focal stage of lower Midtown, and anchoring the community with a Rockefeller Middle-esque existence.
The diagram beneath reveals practically 700,000 sq. ft of underutilized zoning that presently exists on the proposed plot. The proposed rezoning could volume to the following: a tiny more than 2,000,000 sq. feet of office environment area just about 537,000 sq. ft of retail place 895,000 square ft of hotel place all around 353,000 sq. toes of secondary professional space and approximately 64,000 square toes of storage space.
