Steel on the Rise at SJP Properties’ 11 Times Square
A few weeks ago, Real Estate Weekly reported that SJP Properties was close to securing the French bank Natixis as an anchor tenant for its 40-story, 1.1 million-square-foot speculative 11 Times Square project at the corner of 42nd Street and 8th Avenue, which will seek a LEED Gold rating from USGBC. Yesterday, the developer announced (with some degree of fanfare) that it has started erection of the $1.1 billion building’s 7,000 tons of structural steel. In a prepared statement, SJP CFO David Welch said that “[t]he arrival and implementation of the steel phase will allow interior core and floor framing for the structure to take shape. We remain ahead of schedule and will deliver the building for tenant occupancy by late 2009.” Designed by FXFOWLE, the tower will feature a concrete core enclosing its elevator banks and utility risers, which allows tenant floors to remain column-free and insulates them from noise emanating from the concrete-enclosed mechanical rooms.

The New York Times Tower on 8th Avenue between 40th and 41st Streets, which earned a spot at #2 on gbNYC’s list of the top five Gotham green buildings from 2007, has secured a tenant for the fifth and final retail block in the non-LEED-certified green building. The 3,200-square-foot space will house a new restaurant concept from Andrew and Jonathan Schnipper, the brothers whose Hale & Hearty Soup chain is now ubiquitous here in Manhattan. The eatery will offer a casual American menu that will be “an evolution of the roadside stand we all knew growing up,” according to Andrew Schnipper.

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 […]
