1.2 MSF isn't all that large for an office tower, and even with a 30% upzoning, 1.6 MSF isn't enormous either. Maybe 50 floors max?
|
^^ Yeah, looks like another 600 - 700 footer. :frog:
|
..

Accoring to Robert Walpole on SSC two pre- war buildings will have to make room for this tower. Also, the plot is apparently very small so this one could possibly break the 1,000ft mark.

This site is also eligible for Grand Central Terminal air rights transfer, which could be significant (though there are many other proposed towers that would want some of these air rights). There are over 1 million square feet of available air rights from Grand Central. So you could very easily be talking about a 2 million square foot tower, like One Bryant Park. Perhaps significantly taller, even, because this is a much smaller footprint. But this is all speculation at this point. I do like, however, the fact that they're referencing Burj Khalifa in Dubai and International Finance Center in Hong Kong. It looks like they want something soaring and iconic. |

Excellent!!! :banana:
We already know of 237 Park, 425 Park, 432 Park, 225 W57th and now a fifth supertall for midtown. Since this is such a prime location I'm certain that something interesting & tall will rise here. |

I think its clear they intend to build a supertall skyscraper here. It's great location for it, both in the City and on the skyline. |
A little more on the project...

If the interview is halfway accurate it sounds like they intend to build something 1,500'+ here.
|
This is very exciting and a lot to digest - I walk past there everyday.
|
If they actually plan to build something "iconic" here (with a substantial roof height 1,500 ft +), then I'm on board. However I really do hate seeing historic office stock getting demolished.
|
They oughta be able to wrangle another air right bonus out of the direct connection to Grand Central.
|
This zoning is really going to change the entire skyline.
|
How do they intend to build a building well over 1000 feet with only 1.2msf. I'm assuming they'll add more?
But anyway great news! Great location aswell. |

The area is being signficantly upzoned, however, and there are considerable air rights available for purchase from Grand Central Terminal. It also looks like they're planning a significant transit connection with Grand Central, and the various subway lines. If they invest in a major connection, they will likely get additional air rights (as with Vornado's planned 15 Penn Plaza tower). |

With all of the new skyscraper developments being planned and built around the City, this is the first tower to take inspiration from the great towers around the world. For so long, New York's skyline has been an inspiration for others. They are basically saying, "Listen, it's time New York got back in the business of building bold, iconic skyscrapers just because." I'm all for it, and looking forward to the design process. Hines is on board, and in the past they went with Jean Nouvel's bolder alternative for the Torre Verre. Very excited for this one. |
