Hi guys!
There is the progress during the month of December. and an extra video of the progress during the year 2015: Thank you!!! |

According to the floor plans, this looks like a one-unit-per-floor with some units occupying two floors. Right?

Here’s how NYC’s skyline is going to change https://thenypost.files.wordpress.co...op=1&strip=all By Steve Cuozzo January 10, 2016 Quote:

Awesome picture. Thanks for posting it.

More polished rendering of what we've already seen.
Without the spire, the design is fairly bland and uninspired. Not worthy of being NY's tallest to roof. This tower and verre need to switch heights! |
Honestly it looks decent. Just needs the spire.... :runaway:
|
The Post article said 130 floor. That's gotta be a mistake, right?

Those renderings are awesome, and better yet it's missing so many buildings like 2WTC, Vanderbilt etc. etc...

Crazy to think that the ones I just mentioned plus Girasole, that Brooklyn building and so many others will join them soon enough :slob: |

I think they all look spectacular.

That's correct. It used to be just the residential towers with extra high ceilings did that. I remember Donald Trump first made an issue of it in New York with his "90-story" Trump World Tower. But it's been done a lot, with everything from the TWC to the WTC. That's why when we initially get floor counts from filings, it's not always an indication of height. |
thanks NYguy & Hunser for posting Cuozzo's "thundering herd" (above) . .
the line up of 9 new Manhattan towers . . all of heroic height . . impressive . . But only 3 of these have impressive crowns . . . a crown being - the prominent summit portion where a skyscraper's form should be most refined . . - Verre - 111W57 - 30HY - . . These 3 terminate gracefully . . (the angled crown of 30HY is obscured by the perspective used in the illustration) . . 5 of the 9 tall buildings have a mere inept "who cares" 60's sliced-off strategy . . leading to underwhelming "anywhere-in-the-world" skyline profiles . . Though not very apparent in the above illustration - Child's building - (35HY) makes a timid . . but better-than-nothing attempt . . at a little something happening . . What's that unarticulated dark box atop 220 CPS ? . . cheap corrugated metal ? !! . . 175 Greenwich really needs its horns back . . and not the wimpy "stumps" version . . and without the corset-bulge - Diller's crack going down the top half of 15HY . . surely isn't enough . . It literally looks - well . . "half-assed" . . so to speak . . The saddest unfortunately leads the pack . . Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill's 217 W57 . . utterly SHORN - humiliated . . . . It ain't no crisp self-assured Twin-Tower flat-top that it sports . . those tall guys double-slammed minimalism like no other towers ever will . . though the bloated blousey proportion of boring 1 & 2 Manhattan West . . seem to be making an irresolute attempt at an imitation . . Sadder still . . is that 217 had it tailored so right . . topped with no ordinary spire . . then some swine wrong-headedly blundered . . and had it lobbed off . . The tops are yet awhile in coming . . maybe one or two of these can still be sorted out . . I'm not "hating" I'm hoping. Taint nothin' the matter with that. |

I think that without the spire the 130 floor number is absolutely realistic !!!! |
