As far as any other tower, it's up to the developers to decide what gets built, and how tall they would like it, architect or not. And this being New York, you know someone will want to top the Freedom Tower's height. But for now, enjoy this tower for what it is, another in the line of supertalls on 57th street. I think it needs that spire to stand out from the pack. We've got about three years before it's topped out. Around that time or not far behind, 111 W. 57th should be topping out, and 30 Hudson should be as well. So it will come in a wave of new towers, unlike One57 and 432 Park which both enjoy time in the spotlight alone. |
If the developers of Nordstrom decided to make the building taller than the WTC, would their plan not be approved or is it really up to them how tall they make it?

It would be approved. The city doesn't have a set limit of 1,776 ft. They just wanted to make it a foot shorter (developers). Unless its over 2000 feet, then the FAA would get involved and they are a holes about things (Miami cough cough). Although I do wish Greenland Group would get involved in a supertall. If anything, they would be the ones to push for a megatall.
But I wouldn't worry about WTC1 being the Philadelphia City Hall of NYC. Taller towers will come in time due. |
So if a tower is above 2000 feet it automatically has to be approved by the FAA?

What we see in Miami and why they require approval for everything is the proximity of the airport. This also plays a big role, and can applies to most developments near an airport or a flight path. |
2000' isnt going to happen people.

I love the fact alone that the roof height will be the tallest roof height stat of any project so far in the United States at 1,490 feet.

What if the ESB was destroyed on 9/11 instead of WTC? ( I shudder the thought ) Wood NYC have a 1,249 ft. Gentlemen's agreement? Or wood they include the transmitter's extra 204 feet & make it a 1,453 ft. limit? Like some 1 said earlier, I wood b the 1 to weld that used pogo stick 2 the spire. The 2 months in Rikers wood b worth it!

Hopefully, this keeps up...

We've seen these renderings a lot lately, but people can't seem to wrap their heads around the changes.
But here's a sweet and handy guide with those renders... http://nypost.com/2014/11/22/how-new...-look-in-2018/ NYC’s skyline will be radically different in 2018 By Kate Briquelet November 22, 2014 http://thenypost.files.wordpress.com...8&h=652&crop=1 https://thenypost.files.wordpress.co...11/skyline.jpg Quote:

Amazing! :cheers:

Looking forward to these skyline changes, thanks NYguy for the great info as always!

Nitpicking Alert: I don't see Girasole...

Awesome job! Whoever put the effort-kudos to him/her! And pretty soon these may be outdated if the plans for 31 west 57th and Roseland Ballroom (to name a few) go ahead ( even 56 Leonard is missing)
