MSD will occupy 35,000 ft2 of space under a 10-year lease, and MSD, the entire 26th floor, under a 15-year lease. Steven Durels, executive vice president and director of Leasing and Real Property at SL Green, said the firm anticipates “leasing velocity to remain strong as NYC’s revitalization continues, employees return to the office and tenants continue to seek new or highly improved office space to meet their future needs.” Image credit: courtesy of KPF To read the full transcript of today's podcast, visit: elevatorworld.com/news Subscribe to the Podcast: iTunes │ Google Play | SoundCloud │ Stitcher │ TuneIn

Welcome to the Elevator World News Podcast. Today’s podcast news podcast is sponsored by elevatorbooks.com: www.elevatorbooks.com PERMIT PROPOSES 70-STORY TOWER ON NYC'S FIFTH AVENUE A permit has been filed to build a 70-story mixed-use tower in NYC's Midtown Manhattan neighborhood, on a site previously speculated for a taller design, New York YIMBY reported on January 7. Rabina Properties, listed as the owner behind the permit, seeks to build an 896-ft-tall skyscraper at 520 Fifth Avenue that would hold 523,188 ft2: 353,196 ft2 set for commercial use, and 169,992 ft2 holding 98 residences. Kohn Pedersen Fox is listed as the architect of record.

The rendering by Handel Architects was being referred to as the first building on Fifth Avenue to rise above 900 ft. No construction timeline was reported.

Welcome to the Elevator World News Podcast. Today’s podcast news podcast is sponsored by elevatorbooks.com: www.elevatorbooks.com OFFICE SUPERTALL ONE VANDERBILT OPENS AMID PANDEMIC One Vanderbilt, a supertall office tower in Midtown Manhattan with a Schindler vertical-transportation system, was officially opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on September 14, according to the building's designer, architects Kohn Pedersen Fox. The building, developed by SL Green and Hines, stands 1,401 ft tall, making it the tallest office tower in Midtown. It brings 1.7 million ft2 of Class-A office space, floor-to-ceiling windows and a 30,000-ft2 amenity floor including garden terraces and a dining facility. The development includes an underground connection to Grand Central Station and a 14,000-ft2 pedestrian plaza on Vanderbilt Avenue. A report by Reuters notes that the building's opening comes with the city still being affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, with many office staffers still working from home. The US$3.3-billion structure is about two-thirds leased by long-term tenants, but a high rate of unemployment and the work-from-home situation has left much of NYC's office space sparsely occupied, resulting in declining rents.

Guests from KPF reveal how 3D printing enhances design iteration and streamlines the architectural design process.

Today we have the privilege of hearing from one of the icons of architecture - the man who co-founded one of the largest architecture firms in the world, Kohn Pedersen Fox or KPF. Now In its 46th year, KPF spans the world with offices in 8 countries and with projects in more than 40. KPF founder Gene Kohn has, with his two partners, built an architecture business that flourishes because when it comes to good business he practices what he preaches. Gene just released a book chronicling the challenges and successes of building this incredibly successful firm: The World by Design: The Story of a Global Architecture Firm. What are his secrets for success? On this episode you'll discover that KPF is set up and operates as the antithesis of the starchitect syndrome, the firm is not built around the personality or designs of an individual. From the outset KPF was designed as a firm that would carry on after Gene and the other founders retired or passed away. This strategy different from many other prominent firms where the reputation of individual designers emphasized. Instead, KPF developed and lives by a culture of teamwork, rather than one of star designers. Gene believes in discovering the most talented recent graduates, training them in all aspects of the profession and then elevating them to leadership positions. This approach has worked and KPF now has 31 principals – and a president - who rose from the ranks. Today KPF employs more than 650 people with offices in New York, San Francisco, London, Berlin, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Seoul, Abu Dhabi and Singapore The KPF team has been hugely successful with major buildings all over the world. Of the world’s 12 tallest buildings, 6 of them were designed by KPF – the Ping An Finance Center in Shenzhen, the Lotte World Tower in Seoul, the CTF Finance Center in Guangzhou, the CITIC Tower (also known as China Zun) in Beijing and the Shanghai World Financial Center. These bona fides in global markets have positioned KPF to be named the architects for one of its newest projects One Vanderbilt, the 1401-foot-high-tower across Vanderbilt Avenue from Grand Central terminal that, with its observation deck and office floors, will make it higher than the neighboring Empire State building. Gene turned what was initially a NY-based firm into a global powerhouse. This expansion strategy has allowed the firm to ride out major recessions in the U.S. by doing work abroad. It has also given the firm the chance to develop expertise in designing large complicated projects – first in Asia and now in the U.S. For example, the firm designed the JR Central Towers atop an active rail yard in Nagoya, Japan in the 1990’s, and then used that experience to work on Hudson Yards in NY. Now you man be wondering - what does the story of one of the worlds largest firm's have to do with my success as a practitioner in a small firm? Listen closely, because the strategies that Eugene Kohn used to grow his practice are the same you can use in your firm to build a firm to suit your life. Many architects think of business as a dirty word. Gene however has emphasized the need for architects to solve their clients’ problems on time and on budget, without compromising design integrity. He and his partners have made a practice of developing strong connections between the architectural profession and the business world.   ► Subscribe to my YouTube Channel for updates: https://www.youtube.com/c/BusinessofArchitecture ******* For more free tools and resources for running a profitable, impactful and fulfilling practice, connect with me on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/businessofarchitecture Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/enoch.sears/ Website: https://www.businessofarchitecture.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/BusinessofArch Podcast: http://www.businessofarchitecture.com/podcast/ iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/business-architecture-podcast/id588987926 Android Podcast Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/BusinessofArchitecture-podcast ******* Access the FREE Architecture Firm Profit Map video here: http://freearchitectgift.com Download the FREE Architecture Firm Marketing Process Flowchart video here: http://freearchitectgift.com Come to my next live, in-person event: https://www.businessofarchitecture.com/live Carpe Diem!

Welcome to the Elevator World News Podcast. This week’s news podcast is sponsored by LIFTEX 25-STORY CONVERSION HEAVY ON VIEWS OF NYC LANDMARKS New York YIMBY recently toured the conversion of a 131-year-old coal power plant into a 25-story structure designed by COOKFOX that will house 70 residential units and 2,500 sq. ft. of lower-level retail, revealing a plethora of views of NYC landmarks old and new. Being developed by Jeff Greene at 100 Vandam Street in the emerging Hudson Square neighborhood at Vandam and Greenwich streets, the tower features a pair of setbacks, one near the top and another that will become a large rooftop terrace; loggia gardens designed by Terrain-NYC that will be watered by collected wastewater; and, perhaps most importantly, views. These include the Empire State Building, the emerging Willliamsburg waterfront, Kohn Pedersen Fox’s One Vanderbilt supertall office tower and Herzog and de Meuron’s “Jenga-like” 56 Leonard Street in Tribeca, to name a few. Completion is anticipated next year.
