Does anyone know when this building will start rising?
|
I really like how this building, One57, and 220 Central Park South are all going to "face" the park, much as the older buildings on CP South do. I think it will really give that portion of the skyline a unified (but still heterogenerous) feel, and a certain kind of almost reverential aspect.
Now if we could just get Nordstrom on board... |

They are digging at 225, any site activity on this one? I really hope more than anything else in the area that this one gets built. Forget 225, meh. Want to see this one move ahead.

Materials used are high quality and contextual. CHECK Massing evokes, but doesn't replicate those of past greats. CHECK Tapers to a spire/decorative crown. CHECK Excellent height to open the doors for the next generation of skyscraper. CHECK This building as rendered is as close to perfect as any skyscraper I've seen. It even beats out Tour Verre in my opinion. |
The more we see of this tower the more I fall in love with it. Unlike 432 Park which I think will end up looking slightly shorter than it is, I think this will end up looking even taller than it is. That is a good trick. :cheers:

This tower will have a number of setbacks near the top that will add a sense of scale, but it has nothing to do with the windows. The original WTC towers were virtually featureless, but the towers soared due to the height. Height matters in that regard. http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/153802688/large.jpg http://previewcf.turbosquid.com/Prev...5ccf2Large.jpg http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/...nue-3ds/796988 |
My friend and fellow forum member Danielson27 made these models and I just took the screenshots of them, sorry for them not being clad!!! One57, 432 Park, Torre Verre, 111 W57, 225 W57, 220 CPS are all there.

Modular Units sound like a good way to get affordable housing to the masses. I could imagine that its a cheaper when it comes to construction thus allowing developers to afford to have more units that are, well, affordable. |
