Is this a project or just a concept ?
|
Whoa, this looks sweet
|
I'm trying to nail down which lot this project is on. The only street level view shows it being just down the street from BOA, which is obviously wrong. The skyline shots show it to be in the vicinity of the end of Canal street. I think these are some plausible sites. The general area has been targeted for redevelopment for a bit now. Trump SOHO isn't too far away.

nice. very very nice.
It suggests, without at all copying, Calatrava's old proposal. Color me excited. |
The tan building just to the right of the sailboat is on Canal just east of West Street. This building appears to sit on the site of the old gas station on the south corner of Canal and West Street.

Check out that shot and this one from google. http://maps.google.com/?ll=40.726047...-5.31&t=h&z=19 I think they've just sort of photoshopped a generic view of the area. But you can definitely see Goldman Sachs and some of the towers in battery park. |

This is definitely the lot on Canal and West on which the old gas station was located.
You can see the huge warehouse building that St. John's owns, etc. |
I would have never guessed that a skyscraper would go up in that area, let alone one that's almost 1000 ft. tall. A pleasant surprise that I hope makes it beyond proposal.
|
This came out of no whereeeee. The lot where this is located is very small, and this neighborhood is really turning into a pretty fancy part of LM.
Im having a hard time grasping the height however. The surrounding buildings are generally low rise, with the exception of the office building a few blocks south. Anyone know if this got air rights from the "Tower O Garbage" site up a block or so on West St? Or if this is even a serious proposal, and not just a a vision? Just want to add, in the map that scalziand posted, the most likely spot is the one in the bottom left corner, the one that's sort of cut off. If anyone is wondering, the two sites along West St are being developed by the Department of Sanitation, so they're not barren. |
Subscribed...:tup:
|
Jesus that was a pleasant surprise! Build it its beautiful!
|
Nice proposal, yet I'll save the celebration for when it is actually under construction.
|
Wow i just realized that this will be just as tall as the Freedom Tower is now.
|
I'm assuming it's two banks of elevators and not just 2 elevators right?
edit: hmm.. it's just 50 apartments.. so I guess 2 elevators would cut it. Jeez, can't imagine what rent would be like on a 3 story 3K sqft apartment. |
Design change please, and then I might be excited.

I agree that it's ugly as well. Blech. Height isn't always awesome. |
Quote:
The old gas station is south of Canal, and this site is definitely north of Canal, assuming the rendering is placed correctly. It would also make sense from a zoning perspective, because I'm pretty sure you could do this north of Canal, but not south. |
Pure fantasy.
If the weird background locations shown isn't enough of a giveaway, there's also no way in hell something that tall will be allowed to be built in those locations without some kind of massive community uprising. |
I believe this is a proposed "concept" similar to this one...
http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=181550 But it would be wonderful if it is not. |
Quote:
You can build very tall towers north of Canal. There's a 700+ foot office proposal by Trinity Realty right around the corner. South of Canal is another story. Not allowed under current zoning in most of Tribeca. Would there be community outcry? Of course, but as-of-right would make it irrelevent. There would be no public review. |
Can they please make this building a 1,000 footer. I really want to see this building's presence when I am walking down Canal Street.
|
Is it as of right? If this requires any sort of public approval process then its already dead. Its twice the height of trump soho and only a couple blocks from it. Do you remember the hell it was to get that building built. Its got to be that site north of Spring and bordering West. If they own that entire tract of land, then it definitely might have the air rights to be built without approvals needed.
Trump already dominates All of Hudson Square. this would be spectacular in boldness |

I still don't believe this to be an actual proposal, in the sense that there is someone to build it. These renderings don't help that perception (the tower is in various locations).
Quote:
But it would be spectacular at a lowrise location, almost like a taller version of One Madison Park... |
Quote:
i know, neither do i. let's just wait for some news on a possible developer. if nothing turns out, you can move the thread to the "Never Built & Visionary Project" section. |
two madison park!
|
As NY guy pointed out, the fact that the renderings are all in totally different parts of the Island is not a great sign haha:shrug:
|
Wait a second according to the architect,Solus. this buildings is a legitimate proposal.
heres the link:http://www.solus4.com/portfolio/hosp...snci-nyc-tower http://www.solus4.com/uploads/projec...s/nmodel_1.jpg http://www.solus4.com/uploads/projec...s/nmodel_1.jpg http://www.solus4.com/uploads/projec...s/nmodel_3.jpg http://www.solus4.com/uploads/projec...s/nmodel_3.jpg http://www.solus4.com/uploads/projec...s/nmodel_2.jpg http://www.solus4.com/uploads/projec...s/nmodel_2.jpg |
^^ it certainly looks that way. i wonder about the height though, 950ft roof or to the parapet? :shrug: i guess that's not important right now, let's just wait for some info who will actually build this tower. also, there is still no info on the exact location.

This looks good, another modern classic for NYC.
|
I still wouldn't bank on this being a real proposal. Something might come out of this that doesn't exactly refelct the renders being released right now.

As others have suggested, that might depict Liebeskind's tower. Goldman Sachs is clearly diected. Also, BofA's roof doesn't slope east-west, it slopes north-south.

So wait, why would they photoshop two different areas of Manhattan? It seems a bit much just to make the view more interesting. Unless they're purposely being vague about where it could be built.
|
It's not the first time that renderings for a (serious?) project have been suspect. 56 Leonard had similarly confusing renders.

Let's face it, the renderings are not the most accurate. If this was a more serious proposal, I think they would try to get the details such as views from the tower more accurate. Front of the class if you can see what's wrong with this one.
I think this will be moved to "visionary" until or if it becomes an actual proposal by an actual developer. |
