To be developed in the western side of the New York City borough of Manhattan, the project will lead to construction of five buildings under separate phases.
The seven million squared foot development project is bounded by 31st and 33rd Streets and 9th and 10th Avenues.
It will comprise a 67 storey, two million squared foot office building, One Manhattan West, which construction is underway for and is expected to be complete by 2019.

Development for the third building, which will be a 62 storey luxury residential tower, has already been initiated.
