I see what they did...I think.

This appeared to be a lightly staggered vertical array; but it looks as if the facade is providing us with an optical illusion along those lines.

Genius. I mean that.

Amazing how 800' gets lost in the Midtown jungle.

That is a bad ass photo. And yeah it's crazy that 800 feet towers make no difference in the skyline of midtown. In Pittsburgh that would be the second tallest building if built here.

It's surprising how many medium-to-large cities in this country have tallests even shorter than that.
But ther're too many intangibles involved to get into.

Which one is the shorter UC there?

425 Park Ave is taller. 139 East 50th is shorter by 90 ft. Funny thing is that 425 Park will still appear tiny relative to its surroundings.

Looks tall as shit, yet tiny in the grand scheme of things.

For comparison, stack two of these, and you have CPT minus 56 ft. This recently topped out.

Pelli Clarke Pelli-Designed 138 East 50th Street Tops Out At 800′, Midtown East



Quote:
Pelli Clarke Pelli is the design architect, and YIMBY first reported on Ceruzzi’s plans back in September of 2015, when we revealed the first renderings for the tower. The site had originally been intended for a hotel development, with permits first filed by Extell in June of 2014, however Ceruzzi had acquired the site several months later, resulting in the current residential skyscraper.

SLCE Architects is the architect of record, and the building comprises 253,222 square feet. That includes a 4,588 square foot retail component that will help round out the tower’s contribution to the pedestrian sphere, while up above, 124 condominiums will average about 1,700 square feet apiece.

Completion is likely by the end of next year.

great needle jag in midtown-east skyline . .
fine placement . . neat trim vertical stripes . .
a sharp eureka amidst the hubbub of beelzebub . .
I Like it . .
I hope the chinese eavesdropping beams . .
emanating from the famous deco hotel down the block,
won't electro-magnetize the behavior of the neighbors . .

Under the radar is good in the NIMBY hive that is NY.

We're beginning to see what IMO is this tower's best feature...so far.

The black on the vertical bands renders the illusion of a staggered stack. Even now it's too soon to extrapolate how much of an impact this will have on the overall form.

Apropos of which...

...The upper floor skeleton looks out of plumb with the floors beneath.
