2 Million SF?
Yes please |
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but One Vanderbilt is 1.2 million square feet correct?
And both One Vanderbilt and this are roughly the same size lots I think, so yah, wow...this could be considerably taller |
the big concern that will draw a lot of hubbub is the proximity to the Chrysler Building. I hope they use a design that leans or set backs from 42nd street, to maximize views of Chrysler. Maybe something like the Leadenhall Building in London:

Another reason to hope for a setback. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7452/...973b2436_b.jpg Chrysler Building and Grand Hyatt New York at night by RJ DiBella, on Flickr |
So this makes four announced supertalls from the Grand Central rezoning- One Vanderbilt, Tower Fifth, Chase HQ, and Grand Hyatt. And the three where we have specs are 1400 ft.+
Then there's the Pfizer site, the MTA HQ site, the Roosevelt hotel site, and a half dozen or so sites along Park, and a few sites along Lex and 3rd. We could easily have a dozen neighborhood supertalls within a few years. |

2MSF for mixed use could pretty easily reach supertall territory but we shall see. |
Cravath is looking for 600K sf. This would be a good location!!! :cheers:

When I first read the article in the Post, it was like I was dreaming...

Look out Hudson Yards, Midtown east strikes back. |

I think Vandy is closer to 1.4 or 1.6 msf, or zoning square ft. The new tower wouldn't have the same design, or exact height. But imagining two major new towers above Grand Central brings this to mind... http://a4.pbase.com/o6/06/102706/1/1...KhUuvVA.r4.JPG Even this doesn't seem as far fetched... http://a4.pbase.com/o6/06/102706/1/1...L9U.curbed.jpg |
If I had one bad thing to say about this development, its there goes our view of the Chrysler from the Vanderbilt deck...oh well, at least we'll get some time to enjoy it before anything rises here.

that visualization reminds me we still haven't heard much about the vacant lot at 520 Fifth either. That's another 900 footer to expect.

I can't be the only one that's just as excited to see something destroyed that DJT had a hand in creating. The metaphor is deeply satisfying. Win-win.
|
The lot size looks pretty similar to One Vandy's, right?

Imagine Vanderbilt had been planned along with this skyscraper...not that this would happen, but it's nice to think about... http://a4.pbase.com/o6/06/102706/1/1...ehClzT1.r6.JPG http://a4.pbase.com/o6/06/102706/1/1...M6w9ajT.r5.JPG |
Didn't realize it's literally next to Chrysler but I don't think that's a bad thing either, just as long as it looks cool.
Jin Mao Tower in Shanghai is one of my favorite buildings and I think SWFC and ST just add to its effect, so maybe a cool looking tower could do the same here. The New-Old blend will be cool too. |
I think it will have to be something that tapers one way or the other. It has to get approvals, so the City will not look to kindly on just any box rising here. This will be something that the entire city will be looking at because its the Chrysler Building.
