Astor Place Tower

Astor Place Tower (also known as Sculpture for Living) is a 21-story residential building located on Astor Place in the NoHo neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. The building was developed by The Related Companies and designed by architect Charles Gwathmey. The building was panned by architectural critics as a symbol of gentrification, and sales of the building's condos were slow. History and development The triangular site on which the tower was built was formerly a parking lot. Originally, a building developed by both Ian Schrager and Related, to be designed by either Rem Koolhaas or Frank Gehry, was planned for the location. Cooper Union, the owner of the parking lot, leased the land to the developers for 99 years. The original plan called for a hotel with approximately 100 rooms, and the terms of the lease from Cooper Union stipulated that the building be an "original artistic invention". The hotel was also to include a movie theater; completion of the building was expected in 2002. Ultimately, the hotel was not built, and instead, a luxury residential building designed by Gwathmey was constructed. There is a retail base which includes a Chase bank branch. References

919 Third Avenue

919 Third Avenue is an office building in at the intersection of Third Avenue and East 55th Street in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, U.S. Built in 1971, the building is 615 feet (187 meters) tall with 47 floors, and is tied with four other buildings, 750 7th Avenue, the New York Life Building, Tower 49, and The Epic in its position as the 118th tallest building in New York. The building was designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. History During the mid-1960s, in what the New York Times called "one of the most unusual Manhattan real estate transactions in recent years", developers of the new skyscraper decided to build around a Third Avenue establishment: P. J. Clarke's bar and restaurant. The property owner at the time refused to sell to the developers. In December 1970, the fifth floor suffered a fire partially destroying part of the floor, injuring 20, and killing three. The building was completed in 1970, and tenant work was still in progress at the time of the fire. Use of the elevators resulted in the three fire deaths when the car inadvertently stopped at the fire floor. Others were almost killed in the same way but were rescued by fire fighters. The City of New York created the most restrictive law of its kind for high-rise buildings. [Local Law # 5 of 1973], more than just steel and concrete as safety measures, adequate fire protection and a process to safely evacuate a high-rise building were introduced as a means to protect property and provide life safety for the occupants. The Local Law # 5 of 1973, called for Fire Safety Directors to be on duty for each building over 100 feet in height or occupied with more than 100 people above or below the street or more than 500 people in total. The building was occupied principally by carpet manufactures and carpet wholesalers and the fire started in occupancy of the type. The fire was confined for the most part to a specific area by the fire partitions required and the un-pierced horizontal separations. The fire did warp the exterior skin allowing a small amount of fire penetration to the floor above, but for the most part it was contained by the building structure. The fire, though contained, was very intense and did structural damage to the floor systems above. Total property damage to the building and its contents was estimated at $2.5 million. In July 1996, two repairmen almost died when a gust of wind smashed their scaffold through a window. Tenants Notable occupants of 919 Third Avenue include Jenner & Block, Schulte Roth & Zabel, Bloomberg L.P. and Bloomingdale's. In November 2024, New York State Governor Kathy Hochul announced that she would be moving her Manhattan office to the building. The building was also the home of the New York offices of law firms Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom until 1999, and of Debevoise & Plimpton until 2023. It is owned by SL Green Realty Corp.

919 Third Avenue

Il 919 Third Avenue è un grattacielo di New York. Inaugurato nel 1971, alto 187 metri e con 47 piani è (insieme al The Epic) il novantanovesimo edificio più alto della città. Incidenti Nel 1970, quando l'edificio era ancora in costruzione divampò un vasto incendio all'altezza del 40º piano. Esso distrusse quasi interamente i pavimenti dei piani limitrofi, fece ferire 20 persone e ne uccise tre. Questo incidente rese più severe le norme sugli impianti antincendio nei grattacieli, infatti all'epoca per legge non erano necessari impianti antincendio per tutti i piani. Inoltre non erano previsti nei progetti degli edificio in costruzione all'epoca né materiali isolanti né porte tagliafuoco. Nel 1996 due operai che stavano ridipingendo la facciata sono stati uccisi dalle loro stesse impalcature crollate a causa di una forte folata di vento.

Hotel Plaza Athénée (New York City)

The Hotel Plaza Athénée was a 5-star hotel at 37 East 64th Street, between Park Avenue and Madison Avenue, on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City. It was a seventeen-story apartment and transient hotel building, and has been resold by Louis Schleifer (operator to the Ira Fischer Syndicate), in a transaction negotiated by Jack Stein of L. V. History The Alrae Hotel opened in 1927 as an apartment-hotel. It was designed by George F. Pelham, and was sold to Louis Schleifer in July 1950. Schleifer resold the hotel in June 1951 to the Ira Fischer Syndicate. The hotel was sold to Trusthouse Forte Hotels in 1981 and was completely gutted and renovated as a luxury hotel. It reopened in September 1984 as the 160-room Hotel Plaza Athénée, named for the famed Hotel Plaza Athénée in Paris, another Trusthouse Forte property at the time. It included an elegant French restaurant, La Régence, supervised by noted chef Daniel Boulud. Granada plc bought Forte in 1996 and sold the hotel to Thai billionaire Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi's TCC Group, for £42.5 million in 1997. The hotel closed on March 26, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is set to reopen in 2026 as Plaza Athenee Nobu Hotel and Spa New York, a joint venture between Sirivadhanabhakdi's Asset World Corp Public Company Limited and Nobu Hospitality. It will have 145 rooms, a traditional Japanese Onsen, a spa, a wellness center, a Nobu omakase restaurant, a bar and lounge, and a rooftop reception space.

Nassau County Aquatics Center

The Nassau County Aquatics Center – formally known as the Nassau County Aquatics Center at Eisenhower Park and colloquially as the Eisenhower Park Pool – is an aquatic facility located at Eisenhower Park within the hamlet of East Meadow, in Nassau County, New York, United States. It is considered the largest Olympic-sized single-tank pool in North America. At least 16 world records in swimming have been set in the facility. History The Nassau County Aquatics Center was built in 1998 for the Goodwill Games. Since the Goodwill Games in 1998, it has hosted numerous swimming and diving championships and high level competitions including the USA Swimming National Championship, NCAA Division I Men's Swimming and Diving Championships, NCAA Division I Women's Swimming and Diving Championships, Big East Conference Swimming & Diving Championships, (16 times), and FINA World Cup. The center is 80,000 square feet (7,400 m2) with a 68-metre (223 ft) pool and three moveable bulkheads to accommodate SCM, SCY, and LCM competition. In 2002, Natalie Coughlin set multiple world records during the FINA World Cup at the center. In 2002 it was reported that the pool had lost millions of dollars. Dave Ferris was aquatics director in 2002, he reportedly questioned the reported losses, stating that "I don't believe expenses on the building are completely clear at this time". In 2011, the facility underwent a renovation after a 40-pound light fixture fell about 55 feet (17 m) into the swimming pool. Since 2011, it had also been proposed to build an additional, 50-metre (160 ft) outdoor pool adjacent to the existing facility.

Cathedral College of the Immaculate Conception

Cathedral Seminary House of Formation was a Catholic seminary college in the Douglaston, Queens section of New York City. It was founded in 1914 as a minor seminary for the Diocese of Brooklyn, eventually growing to two New York City campuses in Brooklyn and Queens. In 1967, the college programs were detached from the high school program and relocated to Douglaston as a four-year college. Cathedral College closed in 1987. Today the Cathedral Seminary House of Formation operates on part of the original college campus. The house of formation shut down its seminary program in 2023, but continues to host graduate level programs for diaconate formation and lay faithful. History Cathedral College of the Immaculate Conception was established in 1914 in Brooklyn as a six-year minor seminary. Like other minor seminaries of that time, students would attend a four-year high school track, receiving a high diploma and then complete a two-year college program. Upon completion of the six-year program, students who wanted to continue to the priesthood would enter a major seminary. Other students would continue their last two years of college at another university. In 1967, Archbishop Bryan J. McEntegart restructured Cathedral College due to shrinking enrollment and fewer students becoming priests. The Brooklyn and Queens campuses became four-year seminary high schools. The college programs were transferred into an independent four-year college seminary in Douglaston, New York. The college was established to serve seminarians from the Diocese of Brooklyn, the Diocese of Rockville Centre on Long Island, and the Archdiocese of New York. The college's inaugural class had 38 students, 22 of whom eventually became priests. By the early 1970s, the college had over 370 students and offered over a dozen college majors. In October 2022, it was announced that the Dioceses of Brooklyn, Rockville Centre and The Archdiocese of New York would move the majority of its seminary operations to St. Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers, NY, and the minor seminary at Cathedral House of Formation was shut down in 2023. Pre-Theology seminarians were moved to Yonkers and college seminarians will study out of state. The House of Formation will continue to host graduate level theology programs.

Father Demo Square

Father Demo Square is a 0.25-acre (0.10-hectare) triangular park and piazza bounded by Sixth Avenue, Bleecker Street, and Carmine Street in the South Village neighborhood of Lower Manhattan, New York City. The park is named for Father Antonio Demo, who was the pastor of the neighboring Our Lady of Pompeii Church from 1897 to 1935. The church was relocated to Carmine Street in 1926–1928 to accommodate an extension of Sixth Avenue south of Bleecker Street, which created the triangular plot of land. The park, located opposite Carmine Street from the church, was established in 1923 with the Sixth Avenue extension and the land was improved as a park, being named in a tribute to Demo. The square was renovated in 2007, which entailed the installation of the current stone fountain, the low fence around the square, and the expansion of the sidewalk into Bleecker and Carmine Streets.

Spring Street Park

Spring Street Park is a small triangular park in the lower Manhattan neighborhood of Hudson Square in New York City. The park is bounded by Spring Street on the north, Broome Street on the south, Avenue of the Americas (Sixth Avenue) on the east, and on the west by a narrow two-block street considered to be a spur of Sixth Avenue. As a pedestrian plaza, the triangle was previously known as SoHo Square. SoHo Square was created when Sixth Avenue was extended south of Carmine Street, one of several similar squares to come into existence in that way. In keeping with the renaming of the avenue as the "Avenue of the Americas" in 1945, it contains a larger-than-lifesize statue of General José Artigas, a Uruguayan independence leader and national hero. The statue is a second cast from a statue by Uruguayan sculptor José Luis Zorrilla de San Martín, the first of which stands in front of the Uruguayan National Bank in Montevideo, where it has been since 1949. The land is owned by the New York City Department of Transportation and is maintained by the Hudson Square Business Improvement District (BID) and the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. Starting in April 2017, the park was redeveloped by the Hudson Square BID. The redesign and renovation was funded by $3 million from the BID, $2 million from the New York City Economic Development Corporation and $1 million from the New York City Council. The redevelopment provided 160 places to sit, including "swivel seats", customized energy-efficient lighting, and a total of 42 trees plus other plantings. In addition, the statue of General Artigas was moved to a more central location within the park. The aim of the redesign was to create "a world-class green space that residents, employees and visitors will enjoy for generations," according to City Council member Corey Johnson. The redesign of the plaza into a park is the centerpieces of the BID's streetscape improvement plan for the Hudson Square neighborhood. The park was partially reopened in August 2018 and fully reopened two months later. The Dahesh Museum of Art, the Chelsea Career & Technical Education High School, the NYC iSchool, and the HERE Arts Center are all located around the park. References
Ingram Woods

Ingram Woods is a 3.7-acre forest preserve in the Westerleigh neighborhood of Staten Island, New York, bound by Warwick Avenue, Purdy Avenue, Ingram Avenue, and Gannon Avenue North. The streets around Ingram Woods Park were laid out in 1907 by the firm of Wood, Harmon & Co. for the planned community of South New York. The properties were offered at the bargain price of $190, but because of the neighborhood's isolated location, only a few homes were built by the time that the City began laying out the Staten Island Expressway. The property was acquired by the city in 1957 as part of constructing the Expressway. Along the highway's path, four other parks were designated along with Ingram Woods: Bradys Pond Park, Sports Park, Father Macris Park, and Westwood Park. The park contains a lush forest planted with pin oaks, sweetgum, and sugar maple trees. References External links "Ingram Woods". New York City Department of Parks and Recreation.
Giga New York

La Tesla Giga New York (ou Gigafactory 2) est le nom donné à l'usine de cellules photovoltaïques de la société Tesla, située dans la ville Buffalo dans l'État de New York. Il a remplacé celui de la première usine de Tesla (Giga Nevada) spécialisée dans la production de batteries lithium-ion. La fabrication et l'assemblage des cellules photovoltaïque sont réalisés en partenariat avec Panasonic, qui a 30 ans d'expérience dans le domaine. La construction de la Gigafactory 2 a été annoncée en 2014. Elle devient opérationnelle en août 2017. Le complexe final, qui s'étale sur 1,2 million de m², a coûté 900 millions de dollars. 280 millions ont été versés par Google. Ce sont 800 employés qui travaillent pour l’usine. Mais à terme, Tesla veut créer 5000 emplois dans l’État de New York au cours des 10 prochaines années. En octobre 2019, il est annoncé que le produit phare, le Solar Roof (toit solaire en français), serait prêt à être produit de façon industrielle dans les mois qui allaient suivre. Ces cellules photovoltaïques ont l’apparence de tuiles. La Gigafactory 2 précède la Gigafactory 3 de Tesla qui produit des voitures électriques à Shanghai. Critiques et controverse Il a été reproché à Tesla d’avoir exagéré le nombre d’emplois que l’usine allait créer. De plus, Tesla a connu des retards de construction et des coûts supplémentaires, ce qui vient altérer la crédibilité accordée au projet.
