I agree that the building looks a little stout in that rendering, but I think it will actually look much better in real life.
The rendering is set from the one perspective from which the view of the building is completely unimpeded by any of its neighbors. In reality you will almost never see this thing from that angle, though--there will always be multiple buildings in the way obscuring portions of the base. The higher floors will be more visible, but by time you get to the higher floors the proportions are much nicer. This is a saving grace of 30 Hudson Yards as well; it's base is deceptively thick but once everything else is complete you will only see the slimmer top portion peaking above the canopy. |
I like'm "clunky" :D
|
This is a nice building. :D
Honest! ;) |
Why isn't this listed as U/C??

From the rendering I get the impression this building will be very fat.
It's not terrible though, I guess it adds nice balance to the skyline since a lot of new towers going up are super thin. |

:goodpost: Fascinating construction pics, up close! :tup:
Spider-Man would be proud. ;) |
Wait a minute...I have to be missing something here...If this is supposed to be 1,011', why does the YIMBY forum still have it listed as 985'?

The 1,011 ft is that elevation or from ground to roof and is this going to be taller than 35 Hudson?
|
I'm pretty sure that the 1,039' figure for 35 uses the AMSL calculation.

30 Hudson topped out as 50 Hudson begins it's slow climb out of the ground...(and for good measure, notice the Spiral beginning to wake up).

50 Hudson, the Spiral, and 3 Hudson all ready to shoot up out of the ground. Each massive office towers that would probably be the largest office tower going up anywhere else in the country, just to put it into perspective.

Why is it that just today, YIMBY upped their "official" figure for this tower to the 1,011' that everyone else--i.e. SSP--was reporting?
And they're asking rhetorically whether this will perceptibly change the design....What's 26 feet more or less, gents??? |
Tad off topic but what's up with the scaffolding above the HY subway entrance in post #522? Is that for water leakage repair?

Massive pit for a massive tower.

Not that long ago, there was a drive thru McDonald's on this site.

This, The Spiral and 3 Hudson are going to be such monsters together :cheers:

Not sure if this has been posted but there's a mockup :yes:

That doesn’t match any rendering we’ve seen. I wonder if we’ve seen the final design. It may have been tweaked somewhat.
|
Posted earlier, but a look at the render as well. It's gonna be a classy building. Maybe a little large, but it's neighbors will be large as well.

I can see it on the close-up. It looks great.

Good filler. Nothing special about it.
|
It's sad when a 1,000 tower is just 'filler'. Easy on the eyes no doubt- but they could have been more ambitious here. While NY's residential architecture has really been to some amazing places the last several years - the commercial development has not gotten there.
|
^ They got a large site, lots of air rights, little restrictions and yet all they can come up with is a glass podium with a fat glass box on top.
My fear is that Foster knows NY now (don't go for the fancy stuff like 2 WTC with the diamonds and stuff because that will just get valued engineered out or rejected. Go for the economical box) and this is the formula he has for all his future NY commissions, i.e. Chase's 270 Park Ave. For the Chase tower, he might even go daring a bit and throw in a few gimmicky cross bracings to give the skin some visual interest and watch all of the fanboys here lap it up. :rolleyes: |
By the same token, no American city remotely approaches the quality of office towers rising in NY. Chicago is the master of ennui in terms of office construction, and other US cities, like Dallas, Atlanta, and Charlotte, are building a handful of small, cheap boxes. Not to mention, the boutique buildings rising in the MP District have unparalleled quality.

In any case, there are lots of examples of skinny supertalls, then people complain "too skinny". When we get a fat supertall, it's apparently "too fat". |
Quote:
I like the mix of some really skinny + fat supertall buildings personally. I think this building will be extremely imposing and it'll work well with its neighbors (new and old) I do hope that Phase II of the HY will yield a taller tower than 30HY though. Or maybe one of the other adjacent sites. |
Quote:
And I don't really have a problem with fat per se if the design was good. It being a box is my issue with it. |
Compared to 110 North Wacker or the new CNA tower in Chicago, 50 HY is spectacular, let alone compared to the new NCR "tower" in Atlanta or the new Ally or BofA towers rising in Charlotte, etc. The same is true with fat lame boxes rising in Denver and Dallas.
In fact, while NY is heads and shoulders above all other cities in terms of office tower design, at least Chi., Atl., Dallas, Denver, LA, SF, Charlotte, and Houston are building office towers. Most US cities are not. |
