I expect that the outer boroughs will be getting more proposals for 200m towers than Manhattan 10 years from now and will almost certainly get a 1000 footer proposed before 2020. Hell, even Staten Island will probably get a 200m tower proposed before 2020. 
I'm starting to think that a serious proposal for a megatall (almost certainly on 57th street, Midtown East or somewhere in the Hudson Yards) will be a reality by 2020 with a completion date before 2030. |
Yeah, most likely. I said the same thing in another thread that by the decade's end we'll see at least one serious megatall proposal. I just love how New York evolves naturally / gradually.
