Whitney to break ground with a new building at High Line’s southern end; Extell Riverside Center plans get the green light
The Whitney Museum has announced plans to break ground for its new building on May 24, 2011. The museum’s Renzo Piano-designed downtown outpost will stand on the southern tip of the High Line and will include more than 50,000 square feet of indoor galleries and 13,000 square feet of rooftop exhibition space for the Whitney’s unsurpassed collection of 20th- and 21st-century American art as well as a constantly-changing calendar of cutting-edge temporary exhibitions.
Extell Development Company’s proposed 3.1 million-square-foot Riverside Center project on the Upper West Side between West 59th and 61st Streets from West End Avenue to Riverside Boulevard has been unanimously approved by the City Council. The project—anchored by five towers designed by French architect Christian de Portzamparc—will include 2,500 apartments, retail space and a school as well as a 250-room hotel, 104,000 square feet of office space, a cinema, parking for 1,500 cards, 2.76 acres of public park and playground space and more.
