Can see CPT + Verre + 220 CPS brief glimps of Steinway. Also the Roseland development on the far right aka 242 West 53rd Street.
520 Park to the East. Looks complete, and it blends in so well you'd forget its still u/c. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4310/...2cb1d18a_k.jpg I30A2148.jpg by Jack Jack, on Flickr |
Was in Astoria today, and it's a cool dynamic to see 2-3 story houses or small apartments, tree lined roads (giving the illusion of a suburban town) yet see 432 Park in the distance, and yet be so close to it in a way. Astoria from some streets will have all of these supertalls in sight one day. Queens is cool like that. Can go from tree lined streets, small homes, to skyscrapers real quick.
Kinda like Fort Lee or parts of Bergen County. One minute your in what looks like a forested region, and next your greeted with vistas of highrises stretching for miles. |

It's called overly conservative zoning, especially in the outerboroughs. If zoning was relaxed in desirable places like Astoria, you'd see skyscrapers there, too. Well, that and LGA.

The idea that NYC or SF would be cheap if you allowed a few more 50 floor towers (developments that don't pencil out unless you're charging millions per unit) is completely delusional. |

OK, back to the Central Park Tower.

Feels like yesterday we were talking about how it was taking forever to get over the cantilever section, now it is is moving!

Great updates, thanks nyguy.
|
I love the curtain wall. I'm assuming that Nordstrom will open while the tower continues to rise above it?
|
Just the beginning.

This is so exciting... this thing is going to be just massive :)
|
Oh wow, that diagram really does put it into perspective. Great call, chris08876. This thing is like a Baby Groot version of itself at this point.
