Five Manhattan West is a building at 450 West 33rd Street in Hudson Yards, Manhattan, New York City. Also known as Westyard Distribution Center, it was designed by Davis Brody Bond and opened in 1969.[1][2] The 1,800,000 square feet (170,000 m2), 16-story building originally had a beige precast concrete facade with a sloped base, and although the facade was cleaned up in 2003, it was seen as out of place with the architecture of the surrounding neighborhood.[3]
The New York Daily News moved to 450 West 33rd Street in 1995 from its former headquarters at 220 East 42nd Street.[4] The structure also housed DoubleClick from 1999 to 2003.[5] The Associated Press moved to 450 West 33rd Street from its former headquarters at Rockefeller Center in the early 2000s,[6] and remains in the building as of 2014[update].[7]
2014 renovation
In 2014, the brutalist concrete exterior was replaced with a glass facade and its interior and mechanical systems were also renovated.[8] When renovation of the building was completed, it was renamed 5 Manhattan West.[9] It houses offices of Amazon and JP Morgan Chase.[10]
The building sits above rail tracks running west from Penn Station, and the portals of the North River Tunnels and Empire Connection are beneath the building.
