Five Manhattan West is a 16-story building at 450 West 33rd Street in Hudson Yards, Manhattan, New York City. [2] Previously known as Westyard Distribution Center, [3] it was designed by Davis Brody Bond and opened in 1969. [4] [5]
The building sits above rail tracks running west from Penn Station. The portals of the North River Tunnels and Empire Connection are beneath the building. [6]
The building opened in 1969. [4] It is 16 stories tall [7] and covers about 1.8 million square feet (170,000 m2). [8] In the 1980s, the external structure was painted beige and brown metal siding was added. [9] [7] In 2003, cosmetic work was done to the precast concrete facade. [10]
Brookfield Properties acquired the property in 2011. [9] In 2014, Brookfield began a $300 million project to replace the brutalist architecture concrete exterior with a glass facade and replace the interior and mechanical systems. [11] The design work was done by REX. [9] When renovation of the building was completed in 2017, it was renamed 5 Manhattan West. [6] In April 2018, Brookfield obtained a $1.15 billion mortgage loan secured by the building. [12]
