Since they announced this I thought the timber, while cool, is an odd choice for materiality. Everything is steel and concrete on the rest of the high line, why change it for this singular pathway. Even the new approach is steel.
 
These pics are great, and I love that part of NY.

But with all those new apartments, couldn't there be at least a few small businesses within walking distance of them?

The old downtown is a 5 min walk , Tarrytown is a 10min walk..a bigger headache would be getting to a grocery store or fighting through the Downtown Traffic.

Also

“In addition to townhomes, loft condominiums and apartments, the approved special permit for Edge-on-Hudson delineates as much as 135,000 square feet of retail space, 35,000 square feet of office space and a 140-room hotel on the waterfront. The hotel will be a first for Sleepy Hollow, and one of the only hotels along the Eastern shore of the Hudson River in proximity to New York City.”

Honestly as a new build suburban american neighborhood its pretty damn good. As far as walkability, density, mixed use, and transit access it really does a good job bringing all of that together. Hopefully it inspires more future neighborhoods to try to be not just dense but also more urban and walkable. With every new success it inspires more to try and do even better.

Just comparing it to the older neighborhood immediately south its a night and day difference as far as the urban form and cohesiveness. It has the “density” but none of the walkability or true urban form. Its nice to see that developers seem like they are finally (re)learning how to make whole new neighborhoods that are livable and walkable. Its taken decades to get back to this point but looking around at different cities it seems like were starting to get back to that again.

cover-777x524.jpg


“Demolition is progressing toward street level on the Hotel Pennsylvania, which is being razed to make way for PENN15, a 1,200-foot commercial supertall at 15 Penn Plaza in Midtown, Manhattan. Designed by Foster + Partners and developed by Vornado Realty Trust, the 56-story skyscraper will yield 2.7 million square feet of office space and will stand as the centerpiece of the massive 7.4-million-square-foot Penn District master plan. Northstar Contracting Group is the demolition contractor for the Hotel Pennsylvania, which is located along Seventh Avenue between West 32nd and 33rd Streets.”

The backside has a massive 1200 ft tall blank wall too, just to top it all off.
