    Marriott and Granite Broadway sign on to build a 68-story tower holding two hotels at 54th Street

    In 2011 Marriott International and the ownership group Granite Broadway Development announced a franchise agreement for a 68-story building at Broadway and 54th Street. It would hold a 378-room Courtyard and a 261-room Residence Inn, run by Interstate Hotels and Resorts. Architect Nobutaka Ashihara designed it at a planned height of about 752 feet, which would make it the tallest freestanding hotel building in the city.

    Navillus pours high-strength concrete on a two-day floor cycle and tries a new climbing safety system

    The builder Navillus used 12,000-psi concrete throughout the walls and columns of the first 40 floors, and a 10,000-psi mix for the next ten, which made the pours harder to manage at height. Even so, the crew completed a typical floor every two days. It was also the first New York job to use the Efco climbing safety system, a mesh enclosure that protected four floors at a time.
