422 Fulton Street Macy’s Renovation
New creative office hub above revamped Downtown Brooklyn Macy’s.

Tishman Speyer has released plans for the 422 Fulton Street Macy’s renovation that will turn a new 10-story space above the department store into a 620,000 sqft creative office hub called The Wheeler. Reflecting a recent trend in snazzy work spaces that attract TAMI (technology, advertising, media and information) clients, the space will comprise “620,000 square feet of opportunity in the center of downtown Brooklyn,” according to the developer.

On offer will be the largest floor plates in Brooklyn with 15+ foot ceilings that “leave plenty of room for huge ideas,” and a sprawling rooftop terrace, part of an acre of outdoor space that “provides fresh air for fresher thinking.” There will also be 130 subterranean bike stations with lockers and showers for workers who bike to work.

Tishman Speyer inked a deal with Macy’s in early 2016 to redevelop the ancient Downtown Brooklyn store including a new addition to the historic building. Various renderings surfaced soon thereafter but the companies have remained quiet since then. Today’s news represents a new batch of intel on the project, including the news that the glassy new buildings will be designed by Shimoda Design Group and Perkins Eastman.

520 West 20th Street Building
‘The Warehouse,’ High Line-adjacent office complex revealed

Morris Adjmi is no stranger to converting and reinterpreting industrial architecture, so it’s fitting that Elijah Equities tapped the “contextual king” to redevelopment the Carolina Manufacturing Company’s former distribution facility and apparel-manufacturing space at 520 West 20th Street, right next to the High Line in Chelsea (h/t ArchDaily).

For the project, known as “The Warehouse,” Adjmi will add a three-story, steel-framed addition to the current 65,000-sqft structure, resulting in 100,000 squft of office and retail space with more than 18,000 square feet of rooftop and outdoor amenity space.

News from Urban Design Forum, Long Island City, NY

Last week the Urban Design Forum released an application for the 2017 Forefront Fellowship. This is an opportunity for designers, planners, engineers, developers, advocates and tech professionals under 40 that are shaping the future of New York City.

This year’s program, Design for Arrival, will explore how urbanists can strengthen New York City’s immigrant communities. Though we have been interested in tackling similar issues since the European refugee crisis, the topic has only become more urgent in the last few months.

Cuts Under Trump Threaten Bedford Union Armory Affordable Housing

Just over a year ago, city officials announced plans to redevelop the historic Bedford Union Armory in Crown Heights into affordable housing, a recreation center, and condos. Last night, City Council member Laurie Cumbo revealed that the city wasn’t sure how much federal housing funding it would receive under the Trump administration, and that uncertainty was threatening negotiations over the city budget and affordable housing at the armoury, reports Yimby. She wouldn’t support the development unless it included more affordable housing that families in Crown Heights could afford.

“With the Trump administration coming in, we’re reducing the budget significantly and we’re trying to bring in as much housing subsidy as possible,” Cumbo said.

As part of their deal with the city’s Economic Development Corporation, the developers promised that that they wouldn’t accept any public subsidies to build affordable apartments at the armory. Without the subsidies, only half of the 330 rentals on the site will be affordable.

New York City Infrastructure Projects
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has announced the latest in a series of major infrastructure projects for the New York City area, reports the Architectural Record.

On January 4, the governor proposed spending $10 billion on an overhaul of one of the nation’s busiest airports, John F. Kennedy International. The plan calls for creating a single large terminal building. (Renderings, released by the governor, were created by Ricondo & Associates, an aviation consultancy based in Chicago; architects have yet to be chosen.)

The airport’s older terminals, with the exception of Eero Saarinen’s landmarked TWA Flight Center, would be torn down or significantly altered. The new $8 billion terminal building would be privately funded and—like a $4 billion terminal designed by architects HOK now under construction at LaGuardia Airport—would be run in part by public-private partnerships. The governor also plans to spend about $2 billion of public funds on improved road access to the airport.
