NEW YORK | 41 West 57th Street | 1,100 FT | 63 FLOORS - Page 2

Actually, that late-60s-era condo tower on 58th is pretty out-of-place on Billionaire's Row.

It might be OK somewhere else, but in this superprime location, just looks cheap. I wouldn't mind if that were included in an assemblage.

Either one of those developments will get a jump on the Park Lane site, which is also key.

COVID certainly makes land assemblages interesting. Owners may want to cash out and run, especially if they have lost ground floor retail and have a hard time attracting residents at even reduced rents/prices. This could play out like post 2007/8 where projects dry up for some time while developers quietly put together bigger pieces of property.

57th (and the area in general) has a lot of junk properties that need to go on the chopping block ASAP. Hopefully this allows for that.

Just build the Khaleesi already!

On the eastern side of this site is the cleared site next to the Solow. What's going up there again?

Y'all ain't gonna be happy when a glass box gets built instead of mah Khaleesi...

That particularly site was reportedly going to be a 7 star hotel by Vornado.

Vornado Chief Plans ‘Seven-Star Hotel’ By Central Park

Sept 9, 2014
By ELIOT BROWN

Vornado chief executive Steven Roth said at an industry panel discussion Tuesday the site of the now-closed Rizzoli Bookstore at 31 West 57th Street, just south of Central Park, is going to be “a seven-star hotel.”

Only a handful of hotels around the world are billed as having seven stars, an unofficial way to connote extreme luxury.

Who knows what will eventually rise there.

I can’t wait to see what’s planned for this site.

Crawford · #11 Posted **Dec 2, 2020, 12:04 AM**

This is the perfect site for a landmark residential supertall.

I really hope we get something spectacular.

mrnyc · #12 Posted **Dec 2, 2020, 5:01 PM**

with that site if it isn't spectacular it will be a supreme disappointment. bland will not do.

NYguy · #13 Posted **Jun 16, 2021, 5:31 AM**

Been waiting for this one. Another supertall reveal.

This is great news

The building will block a substantial part of the Central Park view from the Top of The Rock. You can't satisfy everyone

JMKeynes · #15 Posted **Jun 16, 2021, 10:03 AM**

Fantastic!

Where did this come from? The design looks promising.

chris08876 · #16 Posted **Jun 16, 2021, 11:03 AM**

I'm liking the West elevation.

Only slightly. It will definitely be in the view. Both would be narrow towers.

This is from the EAS btw. I don’t think this is going full ULURP, so we’ll probably have to wait for a rendering.

NYguy · #18 Posted **Jun 17, 2021, 2:02 AM**

This sliver of a tower will block another sliver of Central Park from Top of the Rock. But it will also contribute to the view. Let's hope it's a nice design.

JMKeynes · #19 Posted **Jun 16, 2021, 11:22 AM**

Based on the north elevation, I wonder if this tower torques.

NYguy · #20 Posted **Jun 16, 2021, 1:27 PM**

It leans in from the west and north, possibly some torque. This tower should look great alongside Steinway.

It also reminds me of that 1 New York place tower that was proposed in the aftermath of 9/11. We were so lost then, with no idea if we would ever get a supertall built again, and not just in NY. But that 1,050 ft proposal brought hope (even if it didn’t get built). And now, another supertall is hardly the biggest news.
