It seems tobe that this building is constructed with a lot of concrete.

That's quite typical for New York residential towers.

I like that the alignment of the windows on the flat side changes with each setback as well. It prevents that face of the building from appearing uninteresting or monotonous. This is truly an exceptionally executed skyscraper. :tup: Of course, we expect nothing less here in New York. :rolleyes:

Yes, in Dubai are most buildings constructed from concrete (becuase of the hot climate). But the office towers are constructed from steel. Why dont they use steel for residential buildings as well??

:D

Yeah, I hear you.

Isn't the tower just called the "Beekman" anyway (or "Beekman Tower")? And not the name of the street Beekman Place. Regardless of what it officially is, the name "Beekman" just doesn't fit this tower anyway. It just sounds so dorky for such a cool building.

PS: In the CTBUH´s tallest list you can see from which material a building is constructed. Thats intersesting: http://buildingdb.ctbuh.org/?do=city&city=NYC&country=US

The residential towers tend to be skinnier than the bulky office towers, and structurally, it's usually more effective to make skinny towers out of reinforced concrete than steel.

In New York Beekman Place is about as far from Auntie Mame as you can get. It's one of the most exclusive enclaves in Manhattan--about a handful of townhouses with private gardens next to the East River and some ironclad pre-war co-ops.

Aside from the Paul Rudolph townhouse, a Gehry skyscraper doesn't really fit the Beekman name either.

[CHAPINM1]

On that last shot posted by NYGUY, you can clearly see that Beekman has the highest roof height in lower Manhattan by a considerable amount! That is until the towers at the new WTC will surpass it. Also, you can see that the highest point of this tower in the picture, being the roof, is dead on level with the earth's horizon from the angle in which the picture was taken. That picture does a great job at measuring how much taller Beekman Place is than the rest of the buildings in lower Manhattan! Well at least by roof anyway...

[NYguy]

^ Yeah, when was the last time the tallest (at least to roof height) in the financial district was a residential tower?

[SkyscrapersOfNewYork]

so how tall is this tower?

[JSsocal]

^^^I'm pretty sure they didn't add any more height to the 867' number (looking at the rendering), but the last two floors they poured were mechanical. Besides, with this tower it's going to be a lot harder to just tack on two more floors

[evanmack]

Not on a scale like that, and not in a location like that. The big fed push for that existed in the 60s & 70s, and isn't likely anytime soon. The funds for such have dried up, and lots have been learnt from the mistakes of public housing projects like that. What we do see now is much smaller projects, better integrated into existing communities, etc.

^^^^ I know. The picture doesn't only include stuy town it also include lower east side projects etc... and i meant in general. but thnks Onishenko on answering on my question i was just wondering what was happening with public housings lately.

There's plenty of room for stuff like that in the outer boroughs. We're running out of room here as it is for office towers and highrises. No need to waste economic space for people that haven't earned it.

It sounds callous, but if you can't afford it, get out; it's not my job to give you a free house on the most expensive island on earth.

[New Skyline]

When a Building has Topped Out Like Beekman Place, how do they exactly know that 867 feet is actually 867 feet?

Do they count floor to floor (all excisting floors), + mechanical floors till the roof?

Or with laser technics or something?

A little difficult to describe this i guess.

I Mean: Laser Technics Equipment.

I can't find any answers online.

Question regarding this image:
Is it just a forced-perspective effect, or is the building's base (and the site itself) actually trapezoidal, rather than squared? The angle's so small, it's obvious why I might have missed it in ground-level shots... Hadn't noticed it before.

It is trapezoidal. There are no lens tricks that will make a rectangular form grow wider as it moves away from the camera.

Jersey city and Brooklyn's skylines really adds to the density of Lower Manhattan's skyline. From that shot, it appears to all be one big cluster.

Dangerously high winds today in Lower Manhattan
Debris was falling from Forest City Ratner's Eight Spruce St. building all morning

http://www.ebroadsheet.com/2010_PICS/beekmantower_5178.jpg



For several hours this morning, large areas of Lower Manhattan became a no-go zone for vehicles and pedestrians, as emergency personnel sought to cope with debris flying out of buildings as a result of very high winds.

"I first walked out of my building around 6:45 this morning," said J.C. Chmiel, who lives on Nassau Street, near the corner of Beeckman. He was planning on driving his daughter, Veronica, to school. "There were a lot of fire trucks nearby," he recalled, "but I didn't think much of that, because we live near Pace University and they respond there pretty regularly."

As Mr. Chmiel waited in the car for his daughter, "I heard a loud slam, and the car moved slightly." He likened the sound and the motion to "what you would expect if somebody had slapped your car, except it was much stronger than that, as if a really giant hand had done the slapping."

When Mr. Chmiel got out to look around "one of the firemen said, 'look at your hood,'" Mr. Chmiel recounted.

In the center of his car's hood was a turnbuckle, a 10-inch long piece of construction hardware (weighing about a pound) that is used to adjust the tension on cables at building sites. "It was just sitting on my hood," he said. "It had punched straight through the hood of my car, so that half of it was visible from the exterior, and half was inside, under the metal hood."

"That's when I said to the fireman, 'by the way, what are you guys doing here?'" Mr. Chmiel remembered. "But at that point, they didn't have time to chat anymore. They were suddenly busy putting up yellow hazard tape and yelling at anybody walking by to get off the streets."

Mr. Chmiel believes that the debris came from the construction at Eight Spruce St., the 76-story tower currently being erected on a site adjacent to where he was parked. "The firemen said debris had been coming off the tower all morning," Mr. Chmiel said. He then began inspecting the area around his car. "I found another turnbuckle sitting on the pavement, a few feet away," he said. "I'm not sure whether it came down before or after the one that hit my hood."

"If that had fallen just a few inches in another direction," Mr. Chmiel said, "it could have hit me. A few minutes later, and it could have hit my daughter. I'm not sure it would have punched through the roof of the car, but it could have - and I have no doubt it would have gone through the windshield."

Mr. Chmiel, who said, "I am not somebody who is automatically against the idea of large buildings," added that, "I'm beginning to think this tower is too tall for the neighborhood in which it's located. We have very narrow streets here, with a lot of people living nearby." He also noted that, "there is a hospital directly across the street and a fire house nearby, and I'm concerned about how all those emergency vehicles will get through these streets once all those new people move in." The Eight Spruce Street Tower is slated to contain more than 900 apartments.

Mr. Chmiel called the police, hoping they would make out an incident report that he could use for insurance purposes. "But they didn't want to come anywhere near the car," he recalled.

Notify NYC began sending out e-mail and text alerts a few hours after Mr. Chmiel's car had been impaled. At 11:37 a.m., a bulletin said that, "Emergency personnel recommend residents and workers at City Hall Park between Chambers Street, Gold Street, Ann Street, and Broadway stay inside because of the risk from falling debris."

By 12:15 p.m., two subsequent alerts had called for people living or working in the area to "shelter in place" and expanded the boundary to every where south of Chambers, west of Centre and Gold Streets, north of Ann and Vesey Streets, and east of Church Street. By 2 p.m., however, the winds had died down and the alerts had been lifted.

Oh bitch, bitch, bitch... That Mr. Chmiel can suck a fat one. I think he is forgeting that he lives one probably the most expensive neighborhood in the United States and possibly the world. The demand for space in that area is higher than no other for the most part, plus, it's New York City. There shouldn't be such as thing as a building that is too tall, well at least that WAS the case... Its sad to see the direction the city is headed with this piss poor mentality regarding development... I'm not saying this about everyone, but a pretty good majority, we definetely hear a lot of it, TOO MUCH. I remember reading an article about a lousy couple who were pissin and moanin about how loud construction on this tower was going to be once construction started, new flash to the opposition, TOO DAMN BAD! It's a city, PUT UP, SHUT UP, or better yet, GET THE HELL OTTA HERE...

[NYC2ATX]

Oh god, you know, with all those new pedestrians walking the SIDEWALKS, there is just no way an abulance will make it through. I mean Jesus, it's not like they live in New York or something, where emergency vehicles are used to having to get where they need to be in dense traffic. And really, who in their right mind would heed a siren on a narrow side street? pssshttt... :koko:

yeah, it's like all the beekman residents will drive by car at the same time... you know people like this mr. chmiel make me sick, complaining about everything without any (meaningful) reason.

[NYguy]

Mr. Chmiel, who said, "I am not somebody who is automatically against the idea of large buildings," added that, "I'm beginning to think this tower is too tall for the neighborhood in which it's located. We have very narrow streets here, with a lot of people living nearby."

I wish someone would have asked him how dangerous the debris falling would have been if the tower were half the height, how much safer he would have felt. The bottom line is, it's a city of towers. If you feel threatened by their presence, then move out to the suburbs, where by the way there was much more damage from the winds.

I thought the cladding was titanium, that seems to fit Gehry more.

Apparently, Gehry's quite fond of wavy steel.

Titanium would be a nice material for the facade, lightweight and durable, but, I believe when this building was in it planning stage titanium and it alloys were in short supply and escalating in cost as was most metals/commodities during 2004-2007. Now not sure how much Titanium has dropped as a result of the recession. Nevertheless, the material being used now is stainless steel, maybe something like 304 or 316 which are widely available.

Nice Photo's Bucktown718

Would be awesome standing on the roof of the Beekman Place Tower, at where you can see the whole city skyline, but where no one can see or hear you there at the top of the building.

I believe you can see Beekman in the show "White Collar" with the episode about the boiler room heist.

After the whipping winds did a number on Frank Gehry's big Beekman, the 76-story tower is once again wrapped with the proper protection. Looks like the stop work order has been rescinded, too.

This looks like an abstract homage to the Twin Towers considering the building's shape from this angle...
...plus the fact that the perspective makes it look so much taller than American International (952').
