Initially planned to be 1,250 feet tall, the building between 53<sup>rd<\/sup> and 54<sup>th<\/sup> streets will now be 1,050 tall. The 72-story, 750,000 square-foot tower will have 145 luxury condominium residences designed by architect Thierry Despont. The three lower levels will have 36,000 square feet of exhibition space for MoMA designed by architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro.<\/p>\n<p>The dormant project, estimated to cost about $1.3 billion, got back on track with a reported $300 million infusion from new partner Pontiac Land Group of Singapore, according to the <i>Wall Street Journal<\/i>. Hines said the Pontiac Land Group also secured the $860 million in construction financing from the unnamed Asian banks. It is Pontiac Land Group\u2019s first investment in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPontiac Land\u2019s longstanding partnerships with our local banks have enabled us to participate in this important deal. We are confident in the recovery of the U.S. economy, the largest in the world, and believe in the resilience and potential of the New York property market,\u201d Michael Su, CEO of Pontiac Land Group, said in a joint news release. \u201cThe U.S. will continue to be an investment destination of choice for us, so it was important for our first investment to be stellar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Kwee family, one of the wealthiest families in Singapore\u00b8 owns Pontiac Land Group. Forbes has estimated the family\u2019s wealth at 4.6 billion. Kwee Liong Tek, director of Pontiac Land Group, said the privately held company was \u201cdelighted to partner with Hines and Goldman Sachs on this landmark project.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An international art collector, Kwee said his family admired MoMA\u2019s contributions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are pleased that this project will expand their galleries and enhance the visitor experience,\u201d Kwee said.<\/p>\n<p>Hines Chairman Gerald Hines and Tommy Craig, senior managing director and head of Hines\u2019 New York office, both said they expected the design by Nouvel and its location adjacent to the MoMA will make it an iconic New York property.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe location deserved a significant piece of skyline sculpture, and this project will deliver,\u201d Hines said in the release. \u201cWe think it will be a great investment for Hines and our partners, as well as for future homeowners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All approvals are in place and construction is expected to begin in mid-2014 with occupancy beginning in late 2018. Lend Lease is the general contractor. Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group will begin the project\u2019s marketing and sales in 2014. The tower will feature views of New York City and Central Park. Amenities will include a 75-foot lap pool, fitness facility and full-time concierge service.<\/p>\n<p>The residential tower is just one of several luxury skyscrapers that are either being built or getting closer to construction in New York City. One57, a 90-story skyscraper, is being developed by Extell Development Co. at 157 W. 57<sup>th<\/sup> St. Slated for completion in 2014, the tower will have 94 luxury residences atop a 210-key Park Hyatt New York hotel. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/cities\/new-york\/luxury-tower-under-construction-hits-market-with-one-third-of-units-already-sold\/\">CIM Group and Macklowe Properties are building a $1.2 billion, 96-story luxury tower at 432 Park Avenue between 56<sup>th<\/sup> and 57<sup>th<\/sup> streets.
