NEW YORK, NEW YORK
Field Operations designed the public realm for Manhattan West, a $4.5 billion mixed-use development on a unique two-block site on the west side of Manhattan, situated across from the historic Farley Post Office on the west and the new Moynihan Train Station on the east. The Brookfield Properties project is comprised of a complex of towers (north and south) flanking a central public space. The primary public open space is an elevated 2-acre plaza at the center of the development, built over a structure that covers an extensive network of train tracks running beneath. This central space is part of a larger urban gesture to knit together the existing Midtown business district with the newly developed Hudson Yards, flanked by retail and hosting many events as part of its year-round programming.
The Manhattan West development finished construction in early 2024.
