NEW YORK CITY-Giving its Midtown West project a major boost, Brookfield Office Properties on Monday unveiled plans to conduct a major, $200 million redevelopment of 450 W. 33rd St. and rename it Five Manhattan West. During a press conference at the building to announce the project, Brookfield said it will modernize and fully integrate the 1.8-million-square-foot building into Manhattan West through an exterior recladding and interior renovation program.

When completed in the summer of 2016, the restoration will have created a new pleated glass facade with floor-to-ceiling windows on every floor, maximizing daylight penetration while reducing solar gain through geometric ‘self-shading,’ according to architect Joshua Prince-Ramus, principal at REX. The interior program includes a redesigned lobby, upgraded and expanded elevators, and enhanced HVAC and other mechanical systems. New retail storefronts will provide a welcoming streetscape.
