Four Proposed Skyscrapers in WaHi Could Alter City's Skyline http://s3.amazonaws.com/sfb111/story...hts_Quadri.jpg By Carla Zanoni January 12, 2010 Quote:

This project would be an excellent addition to the neighborhood. Already rapidly gentrifying, but Washington Heights/Inwood could be truly thriving if it saw some additional vertical expansion. It's the last area of Manhattan besides Harlem proper that's still somewhat affordable for the middle class, so it would be great to put additional housing in. Hopefully this project is the start of greater development overall in the neighborhood, as continued gentrification in the Heights will also push more people into Harlem.
I wonder how this addition would change the skyline, though? I'd guess that given the elevation of the area the tallest building would top out at 650-700' above sea level, which would give it a rather prominent position. |

Did someone use Google Sketchup to generate this models?
Looks cool though! |
That's just the concept of what they would like to do, but it looks like a little Vegas coming to Washington Heights...:D

This is a bad idea.
Washington Heights has very beautiful old buildings. It does not need new tall glass buildings. |

Isn't this the hilly area of Manhattan? I don't know how I feel because this is the one area that I haven't explored.

That part of Manhattan is awesome. ^You're right, those who haven't been to Grant's tomb are really missing out on one of New York's best hidden architectural treasures. The inside is just... you have to see it for yourself. Columbia campus is beautiful, and the view that opens from the cliff onto Harlem and the rest of the city is breathtaking.

Developer of Proposed WaHi Skyscrapers Meets Community Board CB12 members met with officials from Quadriad Realty Partners to further discuss plans for its skyscrapers in WaHi. http://s3.amazonaws.com/sfb111/story...iad_472011.jpg Quadriad's Tryon Center would include two "as-of-right" towers or four skyscrapers, as high as 42-stories, which would include zoning approval from the city.

Strange location for this development. Count me as being ambivalent. I like the area as it is with all the brick and motar buildings, yet, new development would do wonders for the area. Just not sure if this is the right type. I am familiar with the area and it is indeed hilly. From the illustration it appears that the smaller buildings will be at higher elevation than the taller buildings so the disparity in heights will be reduced, especially from a distance.

Who needs new, modern housing anyway, with it's shiny glass and floor to ceiling views? |
This will be an incredible breakthrough for Wash Heights! What's the latest news here?
