T

HE delay in building a

platform over the west-

ern rail yard isn’t the only

hold-up at Hudson Yards.

The 28-acre complex’s

eastern half opened in

March. But, as we reported

last week, Stephen Ross’

Related Companies and Ox-

ford Partners can’t start

work on a deck over the ex-

posed western train yard

until their plans are ap-

proved by the Long Island

Rail Road — which the de-

velopers are still waiting on

a year after they submitted

them.

Now, it turns out that

other structural issues

stand in the way as well.

Related, the LIRR and

Amtrak are in what a source

called a “stalemate” over

where to relocate LIRR

venting units that must be

moved for Amtrak to build

the final leg of a “box tun-

nel” to connect Penn Sta-

tion with Gateway, the pro-

posed new tunnel under the

Hudson River between

New York and New Jersey.

The box tunnel will run

beneath the western yard’s

southern edge. Although

the deck can be built ahead

of the box tunnel, which is

waiting on funds, every-

thing’s so interlocked that

some officials fear unpre-

dictable delays if engineer-

ing issues aren’t resolved.

Insiders have conflicting

takes on the situation. The

confusion isn’t helped by

the participants’ refusal to

speak on the record.

Some sources claim that

relocating the LIRR vents

could get in the way of

building parts of the plat-

form. That means Related

might not be able to finish

the deck even after it starts.

But other, equally well-

placed sources say that the

vents won’t be an issue —

“it’s just up to Related and

Amtrak to coordinate,” one

said.

The time frame for the

box tunnel itself is un-

known because, to build it,

Amtrak needs $420 million

in federal funds as part of a

larger package of dough for

the $12.5 billion Gateway —

but the request is tied up in

Washington.

Gateway Development

Corp. spokesman Stephen

Sigmund said the concrete

casing for the box tunnel “is

fully designed and ready to

build. All of the partners are

working together to get this

section funded and con-

structed as quickly and cost

effectively as possible.”

FiDi landlords are cele-

brating the area’s biggest

mid-year office leasing total

since 2000 — about 3.8 mil-

lion square feet, according

to new data from CBRE re-

ported by the New York

City Downtown Alliance.

Among the highlights:

 Relocations to FiDi

from uptown accounted for

23 percent of all second-

quarter leasing, including

four large moves from Mid-

town South.

 The bulk of the leasing

involved two giant deals at

55 Water St., including Just-

works’ move from the Star-

rett-Lehigh Building to

270,000 square feet at 55

Water.

 Overall average asking

rent increased slightly — by

0.2 percent, to $63.40 per

square foot, according to

Cushman & Wakefield. The

discount over Midtown’s av-

erage of $76.56 was one

driver of the downtown

boom.



MassMutual has signed

for 22,000 square feet for 10

years at Marx Realty’s 10

Grand Central, the Ely

Jacques Kahn-designed of-

fice tower previously

known as 708 Third Ave.

It’s the latest advance for

the property where Marx

recently spent $48 million

to move the entrance off the

avenue onto East 44th

Street and to create a new

lobby, lounge, outdoor ter-

race and conference space.

The MassMutual lease

brings the 405,000-square-

foot tower to 91 percent oc-

cupied, up from 78 percent

just one year ago. Recent

signings include Agence

France-Presse, 23 Capital and

Everside Capital Partners.

Only 34,000 square

feet are still avail-

able. Marx CEO

Craig Deitelz-

weig credited

the leasing boom

to the building’s

“proximity to

Grand Central Termi-

nal and game-changing de-

sign sensibility.”

Asking rents range from

$72 to $120 per square foot.

Related Companies and

development partner Hud-

son Companies just topped

off Riverwalk Park on

Roosevelt Island, a 21-story

rental apartment building

on Main Street that will

have 340 new affordable

housing units.

Opening is set for 2021.

It’s the eighth building by

Related and Hudson and

the first newly built and

permanently affordable one

on the island.

Riverwalk Park will have

a mix of studios and units of

one to three bedrooms

available to families

with household in-

comes ranging

from 40 percent

to 165 percent of

median area in-

come.

Applications will

start in 2020 through

Housing Connect, the city’s

housing lottery system.

Income-based rents start

as low as $505 for a studio

and go up to $3,431 for a

three-bedroom.
