NEW YORK CITY — The topping off ceremony has been held for the structural steel of 11 Times Square, a 1.1 million-square-foot office tower under construction in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Developed by SJP Properties, the building is on schedule for a 2010 completion. The building’s unique concrete core, which rises the entire height of the 40-story building and encases all of the building’s critical elements, was completed in October. The project is applying for LEED-Gold certification, making it one of the largest environmentally sustainable commercial projects in the Northeast.
