NEW YORK | One Manhattan Square ( 227 Cherry ) | 847 FT / 258 M | 72 FLOORS
Everything comes back from the dead it seems. Extell development prepares a large development for this site.

Great site for a special building---I'm glad Barnett like quality design! :tup:
|
Eh. It's totally cut-off from the rest of Manhattan. Everything along the East River down there is dominated by public housing--it really needs to be demolished before the neighborhood can recover.
|
So if this looks to be a twin-towered arrangement, based on the zoning and previous plans, will Extell deliver twin supertalls? They certainly have the zoning capacity to do so.
In any case, I hope for something iconic, which will anchor this riverfront neighborhood. This area has massively improved in recent years. |

They're mostly middle income housing or sometimes regular market-rate housing. |
^ Either way, they're all hideous, and restoring the street grid with street level retail would do wonders for the area. I wouldn't expect a whole lot in terms of design here, as we're almost certainly looking at rentals, but who knows.
|
Really wish they found a way to keep the supermarket open. :(
Still, 1.1 MSF is a lot of air rights. |
It'll probably be something like the twin towered developments at the end of the 42nd Street corridor. Boring glassy boxes, but still in the 700' range. That will actually be far above anything else in the vicinity, so these will have a big presence--the site is actually about half a mile from 8 Spruce.
|
Nice. Anything that can extend the skyline to this part of Manhattan is fine by me. I dont expect anything great for the site but if we can get something in the 5-600 foot range would be great; a 700 footer would be gravy.
|
Funny, I've always thought that supermarket would make a good location for something . . and sure enough I come across this thread.

Also, you've got to start somewhere -- hopefully Barnett will incorporate good streetscape design into this tower. |
It's a great location for a waterfront development, and residential developments are booming in the city. It will probably be a rental, I remember Barnett saying his next large development would be. There will be great views.
As far as the height, I would be happy with anything in the 500 ft range here. Anything more than that would be excellent. But expect Extell to develop every inch of buildable space. |

The Manhattan Bride is such a landmark, I really do hope Extell goes with one tower here instead of two stocky towers, something that rises above the bridge tower so it doesn't form a "cluttered" view.

Looking at the Domino proposal, I get a feel we are really combining two of my favorite New York elements - skyscrapers and bridges.
I'm really hoping for something distinctive here, a local icon that can help bridge the various areas of the east river cityscape, yet complements the bridge. LunaticDesire http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8110/8...9651b374_h.jpg |
I agree NYguy, given what were getting at the Wburg bridge im confident that the developers will want to put an iconic landmark here as well. Hopefully we can stat redeveloping the areas around and between the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridge's which IMO have always been wasted on the gaudy public housing projects.

^ Yeah, I think the east river waterfront is undergoing as big a transformation as the skyline, in terms of change.
