The massive undertaking also involves the repositioning, re-cladding, and interior revamp of a 16-story Brutalist landmark at 450 West 33rd Street. Originally built in 1969, the 1.7-million-square-foot structure—soon to be called “Five Manhattan West”—will stand fully clad in a new $200 million glass exterior designed by New York-based REX Architecture by year’s end.

Beyond the complete overhaul of the existing structure, Cuomo’s $3 billion plan calls for the conversion of a former postal building across the street into a grand indoor plaza called “Moynihan Station” (named after the U.S. senator who first championed bringing travelers into the old edifice), which would connect to Penn Station via a pedestrian tunnel running beneath 33rd Street.

Numerous architecture firms have presented pitches for the proposed expansion—among them SOM, whose submission showcases a 486,000-square-foot waiting hall capped with a curved glass roof, attached to a shopping gallery and dining arcade.
