One57, also known as Carnegie 57,[3] is a 75-story (marketed as 90-story) skyscraper currently under-construction at 157 West 57th Street in the Midtown neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City.[4][5][6] Upon completion in 2013, it will stand at 306 meters (1004 feet) tall, making it one of the tallest buildings in the city. The building will have 135 residential units on top of a Park Hyatt Hotel with 210 rooms.[7] The bottom of Carnegie 57 is touching the neighboring buildings due to the limited space of the property.
The building attracted national media coverage during Hurricane Sandy when a broken crane collapsed. The NYC Department of Buildings stated they had multiple complaints about the work site. [8] The contractor is Lend Lease Project Management & Construction, and developer is Extell Corporation.[9]
History
Foundation work started in January 2010. On June 20, 2012 it was announced that the building had topped out.[2]
It was announced in May 2012 that 50 percent of the condominiums had been sold.[10] Reports in the press that the Prime Minister of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad Bin Jasim Bin Al-Thani, set a New York City record by agreeing to purchase a penthouse unit for $100 million[11] proved spurious, and there was no such sale.[12]
Lawsuits
Entrepreneur Michael Hirtenstein and the CEO of Extell, Gary Barnett, had a public clash regarding a unit Hirtenstein agreed to purchase in the building. Hirtenstein claims he wouldn't spend $16 million for a unit without seeing it, and that the view from the unit he purchased was obstructed. Barnett has been strict about not permitting buyers to view apartments prior to purchase, and as Hirtenstein paid a construction worker to show him his unit, Barnett refunded Hirtenstein's funds and canceled the contract.[13]
Construction problems
There have been multiple problems with the construction crane in 2012, including defects in the wire rope that holds up the crane's massive boom, hydraulic leaks and lack of inspection records. Work had previously been halted at the site, and fines have been assessed.[14][15]
Real estate mogul Donald Trump stated that the crane was not tied down, and “Somebody made a big mistake" in an interview with CNBC.[16]
On October 29, 2012 during Hurricane Sandy, the construction crane on the building partially collapsed.[14][15]
