THIS BUILDING is spectacular. Finally a building worthy of all the praise that gets heaped around here. NY has been missing this type of bold stroke for so long. If it gets built as planned it will certainly warrant the high prices it will demand. Congrats NYC on getting incredible design and inspiration going again. Its been a long time coming.

There is clearly a passion to this design - to do something not seen before in our time and to do it with the best quality. Can't wait to see it realized in person. |
Condos at 111 West 57th to have a total sellout of $1.5B

So just asking is 1,418 feet to top floor? Or has it shrunk from 1.438, either way I love this tower!

The top floor (highest occupied) is approximately 1180'. The chandelier component or crown is 200' or so. |
Why does it appear to be that the terracotta paneling seems to be not on all the way in that mockup? Hope they do a better job of attaching and or aligning the facade on the real tower.

This tower has me nervous as to how it will turn out... if it holds true to the renders I will be very happy, but if not it could be a disaster...
|
just look at those beautiful mockups -- there is zero chance this will turn out to be a disaster.

30 Park Place might not be the best, but it's probably better than 95% of the highrises in the world. It's an urban-friendly design, very high quality materials, top architect, and fits well in the skyline. Possibly too derivative, though. Almost no buildings are totally built with limestone. I can think of like four in recent years, all in NYC, and all with prices intended for billionaires. 30 Park Place is primarily a hotel, and I don't think there's one all-limestone hotel anywhere on earth in recent times. |
This tower will be the gold standard that they will show to aspiring architects. Also, given its engineering, something that should be a reference towards skyscraper ingenuity. One for the books. No other project like it in the world.

THAT is what worries me, the quality of the materials, so far the terracotta isn't looking as classy as I would've hoped. One thing I cant be certain of is the Bronze. It looks good in the pictures but i haven't seen enough yet. |

It would actually be impossible to have a fatter building, simply because landmarked buildings can't be demolished. The developer is using every last bit of air rights. |
First world problems. Complaining about a super tall that most cities in the world would love to have. :haha:
This tower is iconic. |
