Construction of the new 2.1-million-square-foot office building is
well underway at the mixed-use Manhattan West development
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 26, 2016--
AECOM (NYSE:ACM), a premier, fully integrated global infrastructure
firm, announced today that its Tishman Construction unit is managing
construction of Brookfield’s One Manhattan West in New York City.
Tishman has been selected to serve as the preconstruction and
construction manager of the 71-story, 2.1-million-gross-square-foot
office building with a total cost of US$2.1 billion. The project was
previously included in AECOM's reported backlog.
“We are proud to help create an iconic tower that will be a key part of
making the Far West Side the city’s newest vibrant neighborhood,” said
Michael S. Burke, AECOM chairman and chief executive officer.
“Brookfield’s Manhattan West is a transformative mixed-use project that
will bring much-needed residential and office space to New York City –
and we are excited to play a role in making it a reality.”
One Manhattan West will anchor the Northeastern corner of Brookfield’s
7-million-square-foot Manhattan West development that is being
constructed around a 2-acre tree-lined park being developed atop the
rail lines that lead to Pennsylvania Station. The tower has been
designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, and is aiming for LEED-Gold
certification. Law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP is the
anchor tenant, having signed a 20-year, 550,000-square-foot lease at the
tower.
One Manhattan West will be a key component of the new mixed-use
development. When complete, the development will include two new class A
office towers, the rechristened Five Manhattan West office building
(formerly 450 West 33rd Street), retail space, rooftop gardens, cafes
and a luxury residential building. AECOM’s Tishman Construction is also
providing construction management services for the repositioning of Five
Manhattan West and the fit-out of several floors for the building’s new
tenants.
