Anyway, a 1,400 ft tower would look nice there. But between this and Barnet's potential new tower, along with the tower at 520 5th Ave., Fifth Ave is being pushed back into the spotlight of tall skyscrapers. None other than the ESB of course leads the way. |

Yeah, we never quite got a look at the "reconfiguration" that was planned. But for the amounts of money involved, I definitely think this would be more than simply converting the upper floors to residential. https://therealdeal.com/2017/03/13/a...ower-at-2-85b/ Quote:

Mixed used, with the addition of residential will make height a priority in terms of pricing. Better views demand better prices. So given that there is a luxury residential component on the upper floors, it will most likely catar to similar buys like we've seen on 57th Street. And with that, a tower needs to stand out to attract those tenants. |

This was the original plan: Quote:
I can still see that scheme taking shape, it would need that large construction loan. The current king of "hybrid" new and old construction in New York is SHoP Architects. They should be in the mix, though we never know who would be involved in these things. |
I work in close proximity to this building and can say that it’s MASSIVE, particularly the podium. There’s a lot to work with there so (coupled with the that $4bln figure) I’m excited to see how an architect can reconfigure a building of such size.

If they do in fact go higher, there are views to be had, including 53W53 as well as Central Park itself.

Kushner’s $2.9B condo deal with Chinese insurer moves forward By Lois Weiss March 13, 2017 Quote:

Sweet! I can't wait to see the plans.

To an extent I do agree with Roth - it is a perfectly fine office building (and fine looking IMO). However, I'm sure the parties left involved would not move forward with such a project unless they felt confident it would succeed.

Thrilled to see this is finally happening. A 1,400 ft. tower right on the most prime stretch of Fifth will be huge for the Midtown skyline.
Also, I hope the subway station below the tower receives new or expanded entrances. This station could really use added capacity. This tower sits right atop a busy subway station, and the entrances are built into the existing tower. |
