The overhaul by owner Jamestown has turned what was once a mostly empty tower into stacked ticketed experiences, from candy-themed installations to curated New Year's Eve displays.

Guardian at the W is the first and only rooftop bar in the immediate Union Square area, arriving as part of the hotel's $100 million glow-up that was completed in the fall.

The sculptures are designed to contrast Manhattan's monumental architecture with imagery drawn from fairy tales, archetypal symbols and dreamlike storytelling. Their polished steel surfaces will reflect the surrounding city while their whimsical forms invite pedestrians to pause-and maybe look up from their phones for a minute.

The office tower, backed by Related Companies and Oxford Properties, is largely leased, with Deloitte pre-leasing most floors. The building is planned as an all-electric, zero-carbon workplace, with move-ins scheduled for late 2028. Photographers were on hand for the crane's arrival and assembly, and New York YIMBY reports that foundation work has advanced steadily since mid‑December, with crews expecting the structure to reach street level this spring.

The penthouse residence by Metaphors is defined by a balance of extremes, where bold neo-classical elements are combined with the raw mass of brutalism. The architectural program rejects a singular aesthetic, instead opting for a material collision that pairs deep-veined, sculpted marbles with intricately detailed ceilings and embossed wall panels. This allows the residence to function as a versatile home, shifting between an expansive stage for high-society hosting and a series of intimate, quiet sanctuaries for family life.

When the Woolworth Building was constructed in 1910, owner Frank Woolworth and architect Cass Gilbert wanted to make the structure fireproof.
