# West Side Renaissance

A residential and hotel boom is already under way on 42nd Street and south along Ninth and Tenth Avenues. Developers are poised with plans for commercial towers in the industrial district and rail yard nearby.

**SUBWAY EXTENSION** The extension of the No. 7 line is under way and work on a tree-lined boulevard begins next year.

**WEST SIDE YARDS** Over the past two decades, there have been plans to build stadiums for the Olympics and the Yankees and Jets on platforms over the active rail yard. Now, Related Companies hopes to build 12 residential and commercial towers and a park. Coach has agreed to anchor the first tower.

**MANHATTAN WEST** Using bridge-building techniques, Brookfield plans to start construction early next year of a platform over a rail line that will eventually support three towers.

**OHM** This 34-story building has filled with a roster of young artists, filmmakers and entrepreneurs.
