Work on one of several new high rises south of the World Trade Center is
The 50 West Street site
planned for 50 West Street. Located between West and Washington Streets at J.P. Ward Street (just north of the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel entrance), the planned development will replace three existing buildings on that block with a new 63-story (725-foot) residential tower and hotel.
The 500,000-square-foot, glass-clad tower, as planned in 2007, was designed by Murphy/Jahn Architects. The tower is planned to house retail at ground level and bring a landscaped plaza to its south side.
Developer Time Equities has worked with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other agencies for the abatement and demolition plan, which took place in 2007. Development was suspended at 50 West Street in late 2008. A new schedule and project details will be posted here when they are announced.

Developer Time Equities began abatement and deconstruction work in February 2007 and suspended it in early 2008. That work included demolition of the three buildings between West and Washington at J.P. Ward Street. Construction kicked off in April 2008 but was suspended in fall 2008. A new construction schedule will be posted here once it is announced.
