Sustainability and Environmental Policy

Manhattan West was designed with high sustainability standards by SOM.

• • LEED Gold Certified: All office towers are LEED Gold certified, focusing on energy efficiency, water conservation, and air quality.
  • Green Space: The central plaza provides two acres of public green space, planting trees and managing stormwater.

* Adaptive Re-use: The complex integrated and fully modernized the “Five Manhattan West” building (the brutalist building on 10th Ave), saving it from demolition.
* Transit-Oriented: The complex is designed as a “front door” to Penn Station, encouraging mass transit.

Useful Tips for Visitors

  • Peloton Studios: This is where Peloton films its live classes. You can book a class to work out with the celebrity instructors in person.

* Indoor Concourse: A concourse connects Manhattan West to Hudson Yards and the 7 train, allowing you to walk between them indoors.

• A Penn Station Oasis: If you are early for a train at Penn Station, the plaza at Manhattan West is a clean, safe, and beautiful place to wait, just a 5-minute walk away.
