New tower marks completion of Manhattan West development that has been 40 years in the making

Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) and Brookfield Properties have announced the completion of Two Manhattan West, a new office tower situated at the intersection of Ninth Avenue and West 31st Street.

The tower, covering two million square feet, is the final piece of the Manhattan West mixed-use development, a project spanning over 40 years, designed to revitalise an underdeveloped district above active railroad tracks on the West Side of the city.

Manhattan West includes a mix of buildings and uses constructed above numerous active train tracks. Two Manhattan West, alongside its 2019 counterpart One Manhattan West, and three other buildings designed by SOM, forms part of a larger regeneration effort in this part of New York.
