The highest one looks 1050 ish feet, doesn't look like a very official or accurate model though. I could be mistaken but isn't there a height limit for this phase?

It's from Related, so some idea of what that design process is. As you already know, it changes a lot. As far as height, there just won't be anything taller than 30 Hudson.

Nice! Is that just a concept?

Who explicitly stated this/why?

Hopefully there will be some 11-1150' ish buildings, the highest one above looks about that.

Regardless this is going to be awesome.

As for the heights, the general agreemant is for a sloped phase towards the waterfront, the talllest towers on the eastern half. But generally speaking, I don’t see any of those towers being taller than 30 Hudson to begin with.

So those aren't just placeholders apparently, interesting... I wonder when we'll see renderings.

Makes sense, I guess there's no official rule they can't be but from the looks of the renderings several may be in the 9-1100 foot range. This area is going to be insane 10 years from now.

The observation deck at 30 Hudson was only open for a couple of days before the pandemic forced closures, so I haven't been able to get up there. But in this video clip, at about 2:20, you get a look at that particular piece...

Also about 2:20 here...

This isn't anything real, just a few ideas of re-imagining of the site..

i'm scared. :uhh:

When render studios take a stab at being Architects lol.

And why not like this? :)

Hopefully a lot of that for the second stage...some daring designs, something different and more 21st century in inspiration than typical residential towers. The second stage is where they should be able to afford to explore and create a bit.

Well, Calatrava looks like he is going to resurrect that 80 South Street design. But there will have to be some traditional in there as well because they have to sell the units.

I wish we had floor and height data. No way those models are to scale (but if they are, holy S!). Because we've all seen how dominant 30 Hudson is lol.

Imagine 5 super talls in Phase II, would just be bonkers.

10 Hudson Yards is 878 ft to the roof, so that would something to write home to if those indeed are to scale.

I'm expecting at least one, but likely 2 supertall towers in phase 2. Nothing higher than 30 Hudson, but one of the residential towers could be second tallest in Related's scheme.

Yeah, I think Phase 2 will have at least two residential supertalls. And potentially one commercial supertall.

Is the a new mock up of Phase II, or just fantasy?

I'm hoping we get something closer to Battery Park City - a cohesive neighborhood with human-scaled elements and matching/complimentary styles of architecture.

The all glass towers-in-the-park rehash just isn't doing it for me...:shrug:

Has to be a mock-up. I doubt some of those towers are exactly as is or in their final form. I really hope they don't botch up Phase II. This is a prime, prime opportunity to add a sizable unit count to the West Side.
