#JPMorgan Chase Tower

[theonion]

In a devastating accident that left the entire downtown area in smoldering ruins, officials confirmed Tuesday that the Houston skyline had been knocked over by a large, playful sheepdog named Gus. According to eyewitnesses, the 3-year-old Old English sheepdog tore through the business district, bumping into the TC Energy Center and whacking over the JPMorgan Chase Tower with his tail. Houston’s 2.3 million residents reportedly called out “Down, boy, down!” and “Bad Gus, no!” in a futile attempt to control the over-excited, rampaging animal, who was wound up after being released outside into the metropolitan area for the first time all afternoon.

NYC’s Roosevelt Hotel May Fetch $1B In Sale After Migrants Move Out: Sources

— By Steve Cuozzo | March 2, 2025

Roosevelt Hotel

The city’s announcement that it would move migrants out of the Roosevelt Hotel by June made the precious East Midtown site Topic No.1 among commercial developers.

The property’s owner, the Pakistan government’s Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), wants to sell it for what sources said could be $1 billion.

A developer could tear down the antiquated hotel to build a skyscraper of up to 1.8 million square feet on the roughly 42,000 square-foot parcel, sources said. A project so large would need to exploit recent area rezoning which raised maximum FAR (floor-to-area ratio) from 15 to 30, available only if a developer provided transit and public-space improvements and amenities subject to city and MTA review.

PIA’s sale agent, JLL, has yet to issue a formal solicitation, which will likely happen in the spring. However, market sources told Realty Check that “informal conversations of interest” have taken place with developers including Tishman Speyer, Related Companies, SL Green and Vornado.

The Roosevelt site takes up the full block bounded by Madison and Vanderbilt avenues between East 45th and East 46th streets. A new tower would enjoy direct access to Grand Central Terminal. Its skyscraper neighbors would include the nearly finished JP Morgan Chase headquarters and SL Green’s One Vanderbilt.

A new tower might combine offices, a hotel and retail. A buyer would need to pay a substantial termination fee to the Hotel Trades Council/Local 6 union even if the project didn’t include a hotel, as per its contract with Roosevelt’s owners.

JLL has represented PIA since early last year, but its role was limited as long as the city’s $220 million Roosevelt lease remained in effect. Now that the city has exercised an option to end the lease with four months’ notice, the hotel site has become the hottest potato in the Manhattan shoot-for-the-sky building scene.

PIA is eager to unload the site to help alleviate the airline’s and the government’s cash-crunch. The Jerusalem Post, which monitors Pakistani finances closely, last week called the lease termination “a major financial setback” for PIA. The Islamabad government is under pressure to meet terms of a $7 billion IMF bailout agreement.

“Any development plan would have a lot of moving parts,” one investment-sale specialist noted “A buyer has to make a deal with the union. Their proposal has to go through ULURP. They need to find an anchor tenant. You’re looking at a three-to-five-year process.”

Reopening the Roosevelt as a hotel short-term wasn’t likely, an industry source said – “It was not in great shape before the migrants came and God knows what it’s like now.” Tens of thousands of migrants, not all of them legal and some with criminal records, have lived there for nearly two years.

Reps for SL Green, Vornado, Tishman Speyer and Related either declined to comment or didn’t get back to us. Premier investment-sale wizard Darcy (“Skyscraper Queen”) Stacom, who just launched new capital markets advisory firm StacomSilverstein with Wendy Silverstein, declined to comment on the site’s potential value.

City Planning Commissioner Daniel Garodnick, who was instrumental in rezoning East Midtown to allow larger buildings, couldn’t immediately be reached.

JLL New York-area president Peter Riguardi wouldn’t comment except to say, “We are very impressed with the sophisticated developers showing interest.”

Two new leases have taken up 19,000 more square feet at 5 Penn Plaza. They follow 70,000 square feet of leases in January.

The nonprofit NY E-Health Collaborative, which works with the state Department of Health, took 15,000 square feet on the twelfth floor. Tech firm Dynatrace took 4,000 square feet on the 24th floor.

The 650,000 square foot building on Eighth Avenue between West 33rd and 34th streets, owned by investor Stephen Haymes, recently completed a major upgrading and is nearly 90% leased. JLL’s Mitch Konsker, leader of the landlord’s agency team, said, “5 Penn has been powerfully repositioned to meet modern-office demand.”

Since the sale of East Hampton’s historic Hedges Inn to the owners of the Colony Hotel in Palm Beach, South Fork-watchers have wondered y how Andrew and Sarah Wetenhall would brand the restaurant space previously leased to Zero Bond club king Scott Sartiano.

My colleague Jennifer Keil reported last month they plan an all-day restaurant that will “partner with local farmers and feature down-home events like bingo and trivia nights.”

We happened to dine at the Colony’s restaurant, Swifty’s, when we were in Palm Beach last week. Although it’s none of our business, it struck us that its seasonal, modern-American menu would be a logical fit for the indoor-outdoor Hedges setting. Well-heeled, well-behaved customers at Swifty’s (and at its former Lexington Avenue location) won’t likely create a noise problem like the alleged one that led to Sartiano’s ouster.

And “down-home events like bingo and trivia nights” are already in full swing at Swifty’s in Palm Beach.

There’s finally some good news at the Trump Organization’s beleaguered 40 Wall Street, where office tenants have dwindled and a 20,000 square-foot, former Duane Reade has yet to be replaced.

Nero Food Lab, an Italian restaurant and gourmet food shop and bakery, just opened on the ground floor, more than five years since the 17,000 square-foot venue was first announced in January of 2020.

The deal appeared dead when the pandemic struck. But the handsome eatery bowed for a “soft opening” two weeks ago and plans a full-scale launch soon. There’s also a smaller Nero at Trump Tower.

It’s a Good (Great?) Time to Be a Big Bank (NYT) Worried about the economy? You must not run a major bank. A swath of the nation’s largest lenders, including JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs, reported quarterly and annual financial results on Wednesday that beat analysts’ expectations, and largely expressed a go-go attitude about what’s ahead after President-elect Donald J. Trump is inaugurated next week. JPMorgan, the nation’s biggest bank, said it earned $14 billion in profits in the fourth quarter, and nearly $59 billion for the full year. Wells Fargo made $5.1 billion in the fourth quarter and $20 billion for the year and said wealthy depositors were plowing more money into its higher-end savings products. Citi, which topped estimates, reported net income of $2.9 billion in the quarter and $12.7 billion for the full year. So good were the vibes that JPMorgan’s chief financial officer, Jeremy Barnum, in a briefing with reporters, cited an 89-year-old term from the economist John Maynard Keynes, remarking that there was “no question that we are in an ‘animal spirits’ moment right now.”

From LA wildfires to hurricanes, immigrants help rebuild after disasters (AP) While firefighters battled blazes in the Los Angeles area this week, Alejandro, a 55-year-old from Mexico, was one of several day laborers leading cleanups near scorched neighborhoods in Pasadena and Altadena. Donning a yellow safety vest, a mask and glasses, he helped pick up branches and fallen trees and direct traffic while others worked. “The country would fall into crisis” without workers like him, said Alejandro. When President-elect Donald Trump returns to the White House next week, he has said he plans to deport millions of immigrants in the country illegally. Immigrant advocates say that could impact America’s ability to quickly rebuild after major damage from floods, hurricanes, fires and other disasters. “The fact is that the people who rebuild those areas—from Palisades to Malibu to Altadena—it’s immigrant construction crews,” said Pablo Alvarado, co-executive director of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network. “They’re the ones who are the second responders.” Many are highly skilled electricians, plumbers and masons. Others do manual labor, like cutting up and hauling away fallen trees and branches.

Denmark’s happy work-life balance (BBC) Gabriel Hoces repeats a word seven times when he discusses what it’s like to work in Denmark—“trust”. “No one is trying to micromanage you, or look over your shoulder,” says Mr Hoces, who works for a tech firm in Copenhagen. “Bosses aren’t coming in to check if you put in eight or nine hours a day, as they mainly only care if you completed your projects.” It is no surprise to Mr Hoces, a married father of two young daughters, that Denmark is consistently among the top-five countries in the world for work-life balance rankings. Meik Wiking, author of the book The Art of Danish Living, has long regarded his home country as a shining example of what other countries should aspire to mimic with their workplace policies. “Danes are actually happy at work,” he tells the BBC. “Almost 60% of Danes say they would continue to work if they won the lottery and became financially independent.” Mr Wiking shares several policies that help generate a strong work-life balance in Denmark. These include the right to a minimum five weeks of paid vacation per year, in addition to public holidays. Denmark also offers a very generous six months of paid maternity and paternity leave.

PIA, Pakistan’s national airline, in trouble over disturbing social media ad (CNN) Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) is facing major backlash over a promotional graphic that appears to evoke a terror attack on Paris. The graphic, posted on X on January 10 to showcase the airline’s renewed flights to the French capital, shows a passenger jet flying toward the Eiffel Tower, alongside the tagline: “Paris, we’re coming today.” Social media users quickly drew parallels with the 2001 terror attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City.

Indians lured to Russia are dying on the front lines in Ukraine (Washington Post) The recent death of an Indian man working for the Russian army in Ukraine has brought renewed focus to the Kremlin’s use of foreign nationals on the front lines—from North Koreans to Cubans—and revived a thorny issue in the otherwise thriving relationship between New Delhi and Moscow. Nearly 100 Indians have been lured to Russia by offers of jobs or education, only to find themselves forced into service by the army, according to Indian government statements and interviews with families of men sent to fight in Ukraine. This month, Binil Babu, a 32-year-old electrician from the southern state of Kerala, became at least the 10th Indian to die in the war, drawing a sharp response from officials in New Delhi. Moscow has consistently denied any wrongdoing on its part and promised to release Indians from its armed forces.

Russia and Iran sign cooperation pact (Foreign Policy) Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a sweeping cooperation pact with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian at the Kremlin on Friday. Covering everything from military, to trade, to science, the strategic partnership aims to deepen bilateral ties in the face of Western sanctions. Under the terms of the treaty, which is set to last for 20 years with automatic extensions of subsequent five-year periods, the two countries agree to cooperate across a wide range of areas, including trade, energy, finance, transportation, agriculture, culture, science, technology, health care, intelligence, counterterrorism, and defense. The agreement also states that if one of the parties is subjected to aggression, then the other will not provide any military or other assistance to the aggressor that “would facilitate the continuation of the aggression.”

China Deploys More Security to Try to Reassure a Country on Edge (NYT) The Chinese government is stepping up measures to root out potential troublemakers and suppress social discontent, after a spate of mass killings has shaken the country and stirred fears about public safety. Armed police have been stationed outside of schools, with bollards erected nearby to prevent cars from ramming into people. Police officers have increased patrols in supermarkets, tourist attractions and other crowded places, and pledged to better regulate knives and other weapons. Officials have also promised to help the unemployed and distribute holiday subsidies to the needy. The security push, which the authorities in some places have labeled “Operation Winter,” follows a string of recent attacks that put a renewed spotlight on China’s struggling economy. In November, a driver plowed into a crowd outside a sports center in the city of Zhuhai, killing at least 35 people in China’s deadliest attack in a decade. A stabbing that killed eight people, and another car ramming outside a school, followed barely a week afterward. In all three cases, officials said the perpetrators were venting financial dissatisfactions. After the Zhuhai attack, China’s leader, Xi Jinping, ordered officials to “strictly prevent extreme cases.” The authorities at all levels have raced to comply.

Japan Tourists (Nikkei Asia) Japan welcomed a record 36.87 million tourists in 2024, which is up 47.1 percent year over year. Those tourists spent a total of 8.14 trillion yen ($51.78 billion) last year, which is also up 53.4 percent year over year. Overall, China was responsible for around 18.9 percent of Japan’s tourists. The country is in general pursuing 60 million visitors by 2030.

Cold cereal and a blanket on the floor: How South Korea is holding a president (Washington Post) South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol woke up Thursday morning in a solitary cell at the Seoul Detention Center. He was served a breakfast of cereal, boiled eggs, nuts and milk—a far cry from the rice, fish and warm broths that professional chefs make at the president’s official residence. The previous morning, Yoon, who was impeached last month, became the first South Korean president to be detained while in office. The cell Yoon stayed at in the detention center measures about 100 square feet, Lim said. Cells usually contain thick blankets that can be laid on the floor to serve as a makeshift bed. The cells usually also contain a television set—handy if Yoon wants to keep up with the around-the-clock South Korean cable TV coverage of his detention.

Gazans eye ceasefire with mixed feelings (Washington Post) For Palestinians reeling from the devastating toll of Israel’s more than 15 month-long war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, their hopes Thursday, the day after a ceasefire deal was announced, were modest: To return to homes reduced to ruins. To sleep a night without fear. To grieve. Mohammed Abu Alkas, a 32-year-old marketing manager who now lives in a badly damaged house in the central Gazan city of Nuseirat, expressed mixed feelings about watching people celebrate as the news of the agreement—brokered by the United States, Qatar and Egypt—was announced Wednesday night. “Their happiness breaks my heart, because what do we have left?” he said. Since Oct. 7, 2023, vast swaths of Gaza have been razed, entire neighborhoods wiped from existence. The bombing has been accompanied by the rampaging spread of disease, the 140-square-mile enclave also pushed to the brink of starvation. Palestinian health authorities say the war has killed at least 46,600 people.

ICC prosecutor sees ‘no real effort’ by Israel to probe alleged Gaza war crimes (Reuters) International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim Khan has defended his decision to bring war crimes allegations against Israel’s prime minister, saying Israel had made “no real effort” to investigate the allegations itself. In an interview with Reuters, he stood by his decision over the arrest warrant despite a vote last week by the U.S. House of Representatives to sanction the ICC in protest, a move he described as “unwanted and unwelcome”. “We’re here as a court of last resort and ... as we speak right now, we haven’t seen any real effort by the State of Israel to take action that would meet the established jurisprudence, which is investigations regarding the same suspects for the same conduct,” Khan told Reuters.

America’s loneliest generation? It may not be the one you expect. (CSM) How often do you feel lonely? The Pew Research Center posed that question to over 6,000 U.S. adults. Its new survey found that 1 in 6 adults feels socially isolated all or most of the time. It’s another marker of the “loneliness epidemic,” a term coined by Surgeon General Vivek Murthy. What surprised Pew researchers was who feels loneliness most acutely. One might imagine that older Americans are more isolated than young people and thus more forlorn. Turns out, older generations feel least lonely (only 6%, as opposed to 24% for those ages 18–29, and 20% for those 30–49). The difference may come down to how members of different generations engage with others. People under 30 years old are far more likely to communicate with friends via texting or social media, according to the “Men, Women, and Social Connections” study. The opposite is true for those over 65, who also said they tend to feel more optimistic all or most of the time. Technology has made it easier than ever to communicate with others.  But it’s at the expense of in-person interaction. “People start to lose social skills,” says Mike Veny, a renowned corporate wellness specialist who focuses on mental health. “It just makes it harder for even extroverts to develop real relationships.”

[ad_1] An funding administration firm is on the transfer in Dallas, delivering one other blow to downtown whereas extending a profitable streak for Uptown. Invesco has leased 58,500 sq. ft throughout the eleventh and twelfth flooring of the Union constructing at 2300 North Subject Road, the Dallas Morning Information reported.  Design agency HKS is constructing out the house, which is ready to value $1.5 million. The undertaking will start subsequent month, with completion slated for August. Invesco will relocate from the Trammell Crow Heart, at 2001 Ross Avenue, within the Arts District space of downtown. It’s unclear if the transfer marks an enlargement or a downsize of the corporate’s Dallas footprint. The Uptown lease might be barely bigger. A web-based itemizing reveals the Trammell Crow Heart’s full thirty third and thirty fourth flooring, spanning simply over 56,000 sq. ft, will turn into accessible on Sept. 1. RED Growth developed the Union in 2019 and offered it a 12 months later to an unidentified funding group, for greater than $370 million, though RED retained a small stake within the 21-story constructing. Together with 417,000-square-foot Class-A workplace house, the property options numerous eating places, a Tom Thumb grocery retailer and an adjoining residence tower. Invesco is certainly one of a number of corporations to ditch its downtown lease in favor of the fashionable Uptown space, the place quite a lot of workplace developments are within the works.  Financial institution of America, as an example, will vacate its namesake tower at 901 Principal Road, with plans to occupy 238,000 sq. ft within the 30-story Parkside Uptown. Building of that roughly 500,000-square-foot constructing is predicted to be accomplished in 2027, with KDC and Pacific Elm Properties main growth. Earlier this 12 months, skilled companies agency Deloitte leased greater than 100,000 sq. ft throughout 4 flooring within the 26-story 23Springs, a undertaking by Granite Properties and Highwoods Properties. Deloitte will relocate to the Uptown constructing from the previous Chase Tower on Ross Avenue, the place it’s operated for greater than 30 years.  Furthermore, JPMorgan Chase not too long ago relocated from downtown to Uptown, and actual property agency CBRE is planning an identical transfer.  —Quinn Donoghue Learn extra [ad_2]

Gallerist Helly Nahmad Arrested For Suspected Gambling Related Money Laundering

The well known international art dealer Helly Nahmad’s New York gallery was raided by the FBI on Tuesday morning for suspected illegal gambling and money laundering breaches . The gallery located at the Carlyle Hotel on Madison Ave was thoroughly searched and computers were removed by the federal agency. Forbes stated that it was part of a “sweep of illegal gambling rings operated by Russian organised crime.” The New York Times have also reported “Helly Nahmad has been indicted for his role operating and financing high-stakes poker games involving Wall Street financiers, Hollywood celebrities and professional athletes.”

The actions taken on 16 April were part of a wider probe into Russian organised crime in the United States. Nahmad has been named for his involvement with a Bronx plumbing company used to launder profits from suspected gambling. The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York issued statements alleging that one enterprise in this scheme laundered tens of millions of dollars through Cyprus companies and bank accounts. In NY, a 32-year-old JPMorgan Chase branch manager is alleged to have been involved in transactions in order to avoid bank reporting requirements. The Cyprus’ banking system has been under scrutiny as a haven for Russian organised crime for years. Last month a $13 billion bailout of its economy by the EU and IMF devalued the currency by 40%.

It is thought that the funds were placed into real estate and hedge fund investment. Mr. Nahmad, according to the indictment, also wired money $500,000 and $850,000 from his father’s bank account in Switzerland to a bank account in America to help fund the gambling operation. The government is seeking the forfeiture of four high-end properties, including an apartment at Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue and two Miami estates, in connection with the case. In a separate case, Mr. Nahmad has been accused of defrauding a client by overpricing a $50k painting by selling it for an overvalued $300,000.

The roots of the Nahmad family are in Aleppo, Syria, where Sephardic Jewish banker Hillel Nahmad lived until just after the second world war. Following anti-Jewish violence in 1947, he moved to Beirut, Lebanon and when the situation there became difficult, he took his three sons, Joseph (Giuseppe), Ezra and David, to Milan in the early 1960s. As teenagers in the 1960s, they began to deal in art. Ezra and David skipped school to trade on the Italian stock market. At a Juan Gris exhibition in Rome organised by cubist dealer Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler, Ezra and David bought two works – the only pieces sold. Kahnweiler befriended them, selling them works by Picasso, Braque, Gris. With the emergence of the Red Brigades terror group in the 1970s, Milan was perceived as too dangerous, and the family moved again. Joseph and Ezra headed for Monaco, and David to New York. New York’s Helly Nahmad Gallery, on Madison Avenue, is a separate company run by David’s son, who took over his father’s earlier Davlyn Gallery. David Nahmad was the 1996 Backgammon World Champion, and is known for betting large amounts of money on the game. This latest case is part of a Stateside probe into organised crime.

Hold #TRE45ON Trump Accountable: Freeze and seize Trump’s accounts and assets.

In the wake of the deadly riots on Capitol Hill last week, Deutsche Bank and Signature Bank (New York) have said they are cutting future ties with President Donald Trump.

Deutsche Bank, where the president has two personally guaranteed mortgages for a total of $340 million, is refraining from further business with Trump, according to a person familiar with the matter. The loans come due in 2023 and 2024.

In December, two of Trump's personal bankers at Deutsche Bank, Rosemary Vrablic and Dominic Scalzi, responsible for managing hundreds of millions extended to him over the years, resigned.

Forbes: Ivanka Trump served as its board member of Signature Bank 

Signature Bank said it was closing two personal accounts in which the president held about $5 million.

"Signature Bank began the process to close President Trump’s personal accounts," company spokesperson Susan Turkell said in a statement.

"Signature Bank pledges it will not do business in the future with any members of Congress who voted to disregard the Electoral College.”

Ladder Capital, a small real estate investment trust that specializes in riskier debt that many other banks avoid, has issued Trump millions of dollars in loans for four of his New York properties.

Financial records filed with the New York Department of Finance show four loans to Trump by Ladder Capital for an estimated $282 million: $160 million for 40 Wall Street, $100 million for Trump Tower, $15 million for Trump Plaza, and $7 million for Trump International Hotel & Tower.

The loans were uncovered and first reported on by Wendy Siegelman, an independent reporter who has written for the Guardian and Buzzfeed.

Near World Trade Center Site, Manhattan (No. 2)

One World Trade Center (previously coined the "Freedom Tower" by Governor Pataki) is the centerpiece of Libeskind's design. The building rises to 1,368 feet (417 m), the height of the original World Trade Center north tower, and its antenna rises to the symbolic height of 1,776 feet (541 m). This height refers to 1776, the year in which the United States Declaration of Independence was signed. The tower was a collaboration between Studio Daniel Libeskind and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill architect David Childs. Childs acted as the design architect and project manager for the tower, and Daniel Libeskind collaborated on the concept and schematic design. The design was finalized in 2004, but was revised extensively after the NYPD raised security concerns, which delayed the start of the construction by two years. In 2006, the Port Authority took over from Silverstein Properties. The project's developer Tishman Construction Corporation was the construction manager at the time. Construction began in April 2006. Digging the foundation and installing tower-foundation steel columns, concrete, and rebar took twice as long as it normally would due to the existence of the subway line under West Broadway nearby. The building reached grade level by 2010, progressed at a pace of one floor a week, topped out in August 2012, and was structurally completed in May 2013. The building opened on November 3, 2014, and the first 170 employees of anchor tenant Conde Nast began their work there. 

Danish architect Bjarke Ingels designed Two World Trade Center, also known as 200 Greenwich Street. The building's gardens integrate Tribeca with the Financial District at the World Trade Center. As part of a 2010 lease deal to finance 4 WTC, there were plans to build 2 and 3 World Trade Center to ground level.Construction of everything up to street level was completed in mid-2013.The rest of the building, however, has yet to be built until tenants for Tower 2 can be found. 

Richard Rogers Partnership designed Three World Trade Center, or 175 Greenwich Street, which stands across Greenwich Street from the Memorial's two reflecting pools. Groundbreaking occurred in fall 2008, and in May 2009, the Port Authority proposed reducing the tower to four stories. In 2012, with Silverstein still unable to find tenants, construction on the above-ground levels was delayed indefinitely, with plans for only 7 stories. However, work progressed on below-grade foundations and the ground-level podium, which was completed by October 2013. Anchor tenant Group M was finally signed in late 2013, but finance negotiations between Silverstein Properties and the Port Authority dragged, until an agreement was reached in June 2014. Construction resumed in August 2014, and the building opened on June 11, 2018. 

Maki and Associates designed Four World Trade Center, also known as 150 Greenwich Street. Construction started in 2008, and the steel skeleton was mostly complete by 2012.The building opened in November 2013, making it the second tower on the site to open behind 7 World Trade Center, as well as the first building on the Port Authority property. The first tenants to move in were two government agencies, and as of July 2015, the building is 62% leased. 

Five World Trade Center was designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox and will stand where the Deutsche Bank Building once stood. On June 22, 2007, the Port Authority announced that JP Morgan Chase will lease the 42-story building for its investment banking headquarters; however, JPMorgan's March 2008 acquisition of Bear Stearns had caused construction to stagnate, as the company changed its plans and relocated its headquarters to 383 Madison Avenue. Construction began on September 9, 2011. Although the foundation was completed, construction on the main structure never commenced. 

7 World Trade Center stands off of Port Authority property. David Childs of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill designed the tower.Construction of the new 7 World Trade Center began in 2002 and the building opened on May 23, 2006, achieving LEED gold status and being the first tower in the complex to reopen. The building is 52 stories tall (plus one underground floor), making it the 28th-tallest in New York.

Winter 2011, Houston, Texas. Me and a friend decided to travel up to the JP Morgan Chase Tower, the tallest tower in the city of Houston, up to the 60th floor which is open to the public. I was lucky enough to get some amazing city skyline shots.

[nyc-urbanism]

JPMorgan Chase has filed new applications with the Department of Buildings for their skyscraper that will replace the Union Carbide Building at 270 Park Ave, setting a new record for tallest building demolished. The new plans show a 1,322-foot-tall tower, shorter than the original 1,566-foot proposal. The Foster + Partners-designed skyscraper will be the first to advantage of the recent Midtown East Rezoning, which allows developers to purchase and transfer air rights from adjacent landmarked buildings – they've already made a deal with St. Bartholomew’s Church to purchase 550,000 square feet of air rights for $20.7 million. Approved by the city, the new skyscraper will have a 10,000-square-foot, privately owned public space, in addition to $42 million in investment towards transit upgrades. Currently, no renderings have been released for the new tower, which will break the world record of NYC's 612-foot tall #SingerBuilding, demolished in 1968 and replaced with One Liberty Plaza. Approved by the city, the new skyscraper will have a 10,000-square-foot, privately owned public space, in addition to $42 million in investment towards transit upgrades. Demolition permits for the site were filed in January and approved, but typical for dense areas like Midtown, the building will not be demolished using explosives. Instead, it will be covered in cocoon netting and disassembled piece by piece, first removing harmful materials, then working inside out to remove everything from doors and fixtures to the steel structural columns and concrete slabs.

[route22ny]

“The new tower that will rise is headed for at least 1,400 feet, with 70 floors that will hold 6,000 JPMorgan Chase employees, making the new headquarters one of the tallest buildings in the city and the tallest office building by roof height. As 6sqft previously reported,  the project represents the first major project under the 2017 Midtown East Rezoning Plan that upzoned 78 blocks of Midtown to allow for the construction of larger, more modern skyscrapers.”
