And New York City has had success transforming single-use office districts, most notably Lower Manhattan's financial district, into more vibrant mixed-use places. Times Square is one of those, according to Tom Harris, president of the Times Square Alliance, which represents the district's businesses. AdvertisementAdvertisement"I'm not negating it, but certainly the opportunities south of Times Square, to the west of Times Square, are a little bit better for development of the housing stock," he said. The mix of businesses around Times Square has changed in a way that could be appealing to potential residents. Times Square lost 179 businesses during the pandemic, but has since welcomed more than 180 new businesses into the neighborhood, according to the Times Square Alliance.

☆ Grand Central Madison: Moving With the Commuting Tides

Inside the new Grand Central Madison in New YorkNew YorkYou can’t judge Grand Central Madison, the new terminal of the Long Island Rail Road, by looking at it; there is nothing to see. The entire station sits underground, all 700,000 square feet of it, stretched out along a five-block concourse from 43rd to 48th streets. (Only a discreet ventilation facility at either end is visible from the sidewalk.) Such a structure you must judge by moving through it, as passengers have been doing since it opened this January, if not yet the 160,000 daily riders that are expected.

New commuter rail service to New York City's Grand Central Terminal began last week. The new station cost more than three times its initial budget and faced significant delays. The new rail service, which began limited operations last week, delivers riders to a gleaming new station some 15 stories beneath the soaring limestone facade of Grand Central Terminal. Train platforms at Grand Central Madison are well over 100 feet underground. Mary Altaffer/APPeople walk past a mural in the new Grand Central Madison last week.
☆ Grand Central's sparkling new terminal could use a spellcheck — it misspelled artist Georgia O'Keeffe's name in an engraved quote about New York

A new terminal for the Long Island Rail Road in New York's Grand Central Station opened Wednesday. The terminal's walls are engraved with homages to New York from famous artists. In a new terminal in New York's Grand Central Station that opened last Wednesday, called the Grand Central Madison station, O'Keeffe's name is spelled with one "f" instead of two, Bloomberg reported. That's the quote that made it into the Grand Central Madison station. Bloomberg reported that the Grand Central Madison terminal is part of an $11.1 billion project called East Side Access that will bring passengers on the Long Island Railroad to Manhattan's Grand Central Terminal instead of Penn Station.

Construction on Grand Central Madison began in 2006, and cost $12 billion. Positioned more than 100 feet underground, it can take up to 12 minutes to travel from the platform to the subway. Shuttle service from Queens to the terminal, called Grand Central Madison, began Wednesday. While construction on parts of the tunnel that connects to Grand Central Madison began in the 1960s and was completed in the 1980s, work to connect tunnels to Grand Central Station didn't begin until 2007. Insider dug up photos showing a timeline of construction at the terminal, from a hole underground to a shiny new station.
