Port Authority Releases Renderings for Proposed LEED Gold 20 Times Square

At a meeting held earlier today, the Port Authority unveiled renderings from three firms for 20 Times Square, the 1.3 million-square foot, 42-story LEED (for Core and Shell) Gold tower that Vornado Realty Trust and Ruben Cos. plan to co-develop above the north wing of the agency’s Bus Terminal on 8th Avenue. From left to right in the image, Pelli Clarke Pelli (The Visionaire), Rogers Stirk Harbour & Partners (Tower 3 at the World Trade Center along Greenwich Street), and KPF (Court Square Two, One Jackson Square, and the Beer Belly Building) present three very different visions for the tower, ranging from Pelli’s artistic curtain wall and KPF’s glass box that evokes the Lever House (and Boston Properties’ “redux” on West 55th Street) to Rogers’ series of stacked boxes that is easily the most ambitious of the three concepts.

The potential deal is obviously significant in terms of moving the speculative 20 Times Square project forward, but also highlights SJP Properties’ inability to similarly secure an anchor tenant for its speculative 11 Times Square project across the street.

Monday LEEDoff: 20 Times Square at Port Authority Bus Terminal- Gold Core and Shell

In a major turnaround from its seedy Fun City days, Eighth Avenue has made a major case that it’s Manhattan’s greenest thoroughfare. Though the strip has retained much of the gritty flavor that makes it a favorite among tourists and unwitting theatergoers, new green towers from the New York Times and Hearst, plus the speculative [...]
