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


      History


      The building opened in 1969. It is 16 stories tall and covers about 1.8 million square feet (170,000 m2). In the 1980s, the external structure was painted beige and brown metal siding was added. In 2003, cosmetic work was done to the precast concrete facade.
      Brookfield Properties acquired the property in 2011. 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. The design work was done by REX. When renovation of the building was completed in 2017, it was renamed 5 Manhattan West. In April 2018, Brookfield obtained a $1.15 billion mortgage loan secured by the building.
