Manhattan West is a new emerging set of towers that rivals Hudson Yards in luxury and scale. The project is located on 9th Av between West 31st and 33rd. The chairman of Brookfield Property Partners, the company behind the project, said that it’s like “creating a new neighborhood.” This hints at what Sharon Zukin discusses in Naked City. She talks about the quest for “authenticity” in neighborhoods. Companies like Brookfield want to create manufactured, corporatized neighborhoods and sell them as authentic lifestyle experiences, not simply places to live.
