I, for one, welcome our new Westside giants. This in is looking real good, nice glass facade and yet a contrast with the also-nice glass tower next door.

And there's also the MSG and Penn Station redevelopment to the east. http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/69904123/original.jpg This cluster will be a sight to behold. The ESB will be almost lost from view from the Jersey side. :) |

But I still welcome this new supertall...(which looks more office btw)....:banana: |
Wow. Just when I thought the westside was going to be a repeat of midtown-east, the Girasol design is released.
|
The west side developments are moving along faster than I thought. But we haven't seen anything yet. Just wait until the full scope of the railyard plans are released...:yes:
Also, looking at the design, Im understanding it a bit more. It's mixed-use, which explains the direct subway connection... http://i11.tinypic.com/681ws9j.jpg http://i12.tinypic.com/6czw7ro.jpg http://i3.tinypic.com/6gxj9s6.jpg |

Directly to the south, fxfowle will have a hand in the World Product Center: Quote:

Just a sign of things to come. Whether you like the design or not it significant in that it shows that NYC will be a participant in building supertall bldgs. It may take a while, but, given the demand for commercial space and the aging commercial office bldg infrastructure, NYC will remain very relevant when it comes to supertall construction.

The GiraSole Coming to Hudson Yards? http://curbed.com/uploads/2007_10_girasole1.jpg http://curbed.com/uploads/2007_10_girasole2.jpg Thursday, November 1, 2007, by Joey Our public demanded it, so here it is. In yesterday's Linkage, someone commented that we should cover the GiraSole (and then called us "hoes"). The GiraSole? Ah yes, the GiraSole! Visitors to the Javits Center may have notice a huge walled-off pit across the street, with Moinian Group signage all over it. The plot will be the latest in a group of new high-rises surrounding, and occupying, the Hudson Yards. The above, as pointed out by the eagle-eyed SkyscraperPage forum users, is what architecture firm FXFOWLE suggests occupy that pit, at 555 West 34th Street. But if this mixed-use monster gets built, don't expect the view to remain the same as the above rendering. First, the facts on the building. According to FXFOWLE, the GiraSole will be completed in 2011. The thousand-foot office/condo tower will also be green as hell, with "sky gardens" and a solar power-generating crown. LEED Platinum certification is also on tap. Pretty exciting stuff, but can it steal the spotlight from its various upcoming neighbors. A SkyscraperPage member put together this graphic, showing all the new gigantic developments in the immediate area, including architect Steven Holl's Towering S. There can never be enough PAX, 'wichcraft, Cafe Metro and Pronto Pizza locations to cater to this influx of office drones. That 7 Train stop sure is going to be a party, though. http://curbed.com/uploads/2007_10_girasole3.jpg |
wow. how many 1,000+ do we have proposed/under construction now in the city? anyone know?
|
completed 2011? think they've to start soon

Now this looks very promising! A real cluster with a couple of giants on the West side would be sweeet :)

What's really surprising to me is that Extell is starting work on a tall tower as is Moinian. Has the 7 line even started construction yet? Right now there is no middle ground, theres these construction sites and then gas-stations, chop shops, junk shops, mcdonalds, clubs, and parking lots. |
