I Cant get over of how slim this building will be, it's just astonishing...
I made this one comparing with what, until recently, was thought as the ultimate skinny tower, 432 Park. According to the scheme that was posted some days ago, the tower will be about 60 x 75 ft (and even less in the upper floors) compared with the 93 ft of each side in 432 Park. It is an exercise to see how it could work with the neccesary services. I estimate this tower, due to its height, should have at least three passenger elevators, plus one freight (432 has 4+1) to made the core minimum and leave free space for the apartments. I guess that it will have some external columns, similar to those on the old WTC. at least in the east and west facades. It could have two smaller apartments, of about 1700 sq ft or a bigger one of about 3500 sq. ft per floor (or bigger appartments that use two or more floors) http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/4610/i5vd.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us |
Unlike another nearby building, this one is AWESOME!
That's the difference: Even with the earlier height, they had a good design, but with the increase in height they had a chance to do something unique and epic, and did! |
Will this building be getting a diagram?
|
^Yeah, Diagram Please!

From those models, it actually seems a little wider than I first thought...let's hope they get this trophy built :cheers:

sets a new standard for midtown manhattan. makes barnett look as greedy as the rest of them. a truly amazing tower this one.

Cool pictures NYguy, did you take them?
Do you have some of the Central Park looking facade? I think a downside of this building is that the less interesting, and most conventional facade will be the one with more visibility, facing directly at Central Park. I understand that facade is made that way to maximize the views from the interior toward the park, but I don't find it much appealing, at least not so far. In the renders it looks like that facade is curved, which looks atractive, but in the model looks flat, at least in the pictures of Wired New York. I was thinking that maybe it could look better if they made this facade slighty curved in the vertical plane also, by varying the size of the cantilevers on each floors. Also I see there are some drawings. I can see a facade and a section, are there some floor plans? Thanks for the pictures. |
I found my soulmate tower. ;)
Let's just hope she starts construction soon. :) I agree with easy as pie let's just hope architects can follow this great example of a building. :) |

Yes, I took the photos earlier. There were some sketches and other info there, but I mainly went to see the models. I'll be going back, and I'm sure others will get photos as well, it will be on display until April. As far as the façade goes, the Central Park facing façade is pretty much straightforward, but for obvious reasons. I didn't notice any curve in the façade, but I wasn't really looking for it. I think this tower will be on the level of Tower Verre, in the sense that it's something New York should have built decades ago, in the class of the Chrysler and ESB. It's almost a perfect NY tower, like the Tower Verre. It's also a very thin tower, as you can see in the background of this 432 Park model... http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/152796630/original.jpg http://www.citylandnyc.org/proposed-...ll/#more-20423 Proposed Residential Tower Would Encroach on Site of Steinway Hall 10/07/2013 Quote:

This goes before the LPC on Tuesday ( October 15, 2013 ).

Wow this one's moving fast! Great stuff, the design is insane!
|
I'm probably more excited for this than any other project in New York right now. At least until Tower Verre starts rising...
http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/152820786/original.jpg__http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/148190051/original.jpg |
Even in its earlier incarnation, the tower was situated where the views over the park would be pretty much unobstructed, with lower highrises around.
http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/152847227/original.jpg Here you see its close proximity to the Tower Verre site, and the sea of boxes both towers would rise around... http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/152847228/original.jpg http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/152847229/original.jpg http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/152847230/original.jpg |

I was walking by the project and noticed this sign - http://www.flickr.com/photos/emilio_guerra/9227288661/
it reads "work on this project is scheduled to be completed by December 2014" how is this possible. Any thoughts? |
Quote:
At one time, this project would have been under construction already. As it is now, they won't begun until 2014. |
Do you know if that project will be accepte like that ? Armanda Burden ,like tower verre ,dont cut it ?

I'm also happy they didn't have to remove the glass wall entirely. I like the look of it, and hopefully it's not watered down. http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/152899343/original.jpg http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/152899356/original.jpg |
Great to see this approved! Should be an amazing project to watch, and a great addition to the skyline once it's done.
Several things that are confusing, though: The blueprints seem to show the "tower cap" at 1291 feet height and 1351 feet elevation. The plot is 60 feet above sea level, so will the building be 1291 feet tall? Secondly, I can't quite reconcile the placement of the tower on the blueprints with the aerial photos. The blueprints show that 2-story portion at the back of the empty lot will remain. That's surprising. Lastly, how will the tower be shifted if they are going to demolish less of the rear courtyard of the Steinway? Anyone have images of this area? |

Here's an overhead of Steinway Hall, and where the tower will rise.... http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/152899830/original.jpg http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/152899831/original.jpg |
Its a really good news !!
|
Here's an attempt to compare the blueprint with the aerial image. It's tricky because the north side of the Steinway descends in height twice before reaching 58th street frontage (15-story, 12-story, 3-story on the blueprint), meaning that the northernmost edge of the roof catching the light in the aerial image does not represent the streetwall.
I'm still confused by the "2-story" notation north of the tower, as that area seems to represent part of the higher structure in the aerial image. http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...ps49211fa3.jpg The tower location indicated by those blueprints might change slightly due to the concession offered by JDS to the LPC today regarding less demolition of the rear courtyard of the Steinway. |

^ So construction should start soon, do they have financing for this tower?
|
Thanks for NYGuy for that info.
It's hard to keep up with the new projects, and rumors of projects. Check out the heights of these new buildings near the Park (in red). I put in Shvo in blue 'cause it seems very tentative. PLH is the Park Lane Hotel, which is selling for $650 million, apparently the site of a future tall tower. http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...psf7074b67.jpg BTW, regarding the question above, to my knowledge JDS has refused to discuss their financing efforts for this tower so far. |
Work on the tower is not supposed to begin until next year.
|
I hope then you put on New York diagram soon !!

Narrow tower, higher than Empire State Building, wins city approval SHoP Architects-designed building on W. 57th St. is called 'daring' by Landmarks Commission. And it's not even the biggest tower in town. http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopo...16n-1-copy.jpg By Matt Chaban October 15, 2013 Quote:

Just four? Last time I checked:
-WTC 1 -WTC 2 -WTC 3 -One57 -432 Park -111 W 57th -225 W 57th Isn't there a residential planed for downtown that will crack the 1,000 foot mark? |
The media in this entire Statistical Tri-State Metro Area is notorious for gross oversights of fact and makes absolutely no acknowledgment thereof.
Then again, maybe the hacks in charge send out people on assignment who don't know what they're supposed to report. Yet they submit a piece whose spelling, grammar and syntax alone--never mind accuracy--wouldn't pass muster in grade school. |

Re: 111 W 57th: I really hope they secure financing soon, it would be so epic to see this one rise side by side with Tower Verre. |
