The International Center of Photography, with a museum and school in Midtown, has joined a developer’s bid to create a new complex of office towers, apartment buildings and parks over the West Side rail yards, The Post has learned.
The center would take 125,000 square feet of space on the West Side under the proposal to be submitted to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority today by a joint venture of the Durst Organization and Vornado Realty Trust.
“The West Side Yards will showcase how sustainable construction, innovative landscape design, and breathtaking architecture form a vibrant, 24-hour, mixed-use community of culture, business, housing and recreation,” Durst spokesman Jordan Barowitz said.
Durst also lined up Condé Nast Publications, which is considering moving its headquarters from Times Square. Tom Topousis
