Owner and developer SL Green Realty and its construction manager Tishman Construction have announced the topping out of 180 Broadway, which will be the new home for some 600 Pace University students. The $60-million, 24-story residence hall topped out after a bucket carried concrete to the top of the structure on April 24. The new dormitory will be open to students in 2013. The first three levels of the tower will be used for retail and are available for leasing. SL Green, Tishman and university officials attended the celebration.
The Pace housing project is located within two blocks of five other major construction jobs, including the World Trade Center and the Fulton Street Transit Center.
