The building before the exterior renovations in 2014.

Five Manhattan West is a 16-story building at 450 West 33rd Street in Hudson Yards, Manhattan, New York City.[2] Previously known as Westyard Distribution Center,[3] it was designed by Davis Brody Bond and opened in 1969.[4][5]

The building sits above rail tracks running west from Penn Station. The portals of the North River Tunnels and Empire Connection are beneath the building.[6]

History

The building opened in 1969.[4] It is 16 stories tall[7] and covers about 1.8 million square feet (170,000 m2).[8] In the 1980s, the external structure was painted beige and brown metal siding was added.[9][7] In 2003, cosmetic work was done to the precast concrete facade.[10]

Brookfield Properties acquired the property in 2011.[9] In 2014, Brookfield began a $300 million project to replace the brutalist architecture concrete exterior with a glass facade and replace the interior and mechanical systems.[11] The design work was done by REX.[9] When renovation of the building was completed in 2017, it was renamed 5 Manhattan West.[6] In April 2018, Brookfield obtained a $1.15 billion mortgage loan secured by the building.[12]
