well, the best guess is that the 900+ ft tower at 220 cps will rise on the w 58th side of the street.
good article, btw. |
Best design for a mid-level supertall I have seen in years... :worship:
The design itself should put some pressure on Extell to deliver (architecturally) on 225 W 57th... |

You aren't going to get office towers built with those relatively "tiny" floor plates. And the market is only going to allow so many of these towers to be built at a time. We have a handful that will be rising at the same time, but Manhattan isn't going to be overrun by them. People on 57th Street may think otherwise, but look around. |
This building will be remembered as a gem of ANY era! Now I wanna see it UC!

The unique problem that Manhattan has right now is age. The vast majority of its stock is old, so there eventually will have to be renewal on a massive scale. You are seeing some of that now with the Hudson Yards developments, and much of that is predictable. The rise of the supertall residential towers though says more about the City in its current state. And truthfully, if the critics looked at it, they would have to admit that it is a good thing, despite the lack of more affordable housing being built elsewhere. |

Yahoo News has done a news article on the building with a video that includes the model.

Direct east-west views and anything as close as possible to them are gonna blow minds away.
The one thing I just thought of is the stuff of dreams till everything, especially this amazing tower, gets done: The MidTown tunnel approach IMO offers a bafflingly prodigious view of the entire city (i.e. IMO the best by far), such that a true appreciation of the City's size can be taken in. You think this is true now? 111 in her full glory will be just a piece of it. |

It's funny that they incorporated TV in that render; to put a building that hasn't even started construction yet and put it in focus from the rest of the skyline by making it green is almost a way of saying "we're in the same league!". Rightfully so I might add. |

Or maybe both projects got together to split the costs of the wind tunnel tests...
|
^^I doubt that. The engineering for Verre was done years ago, before the project went on hold.
|
Interesting. I hear 'terra-cotta' and get kind of excited. It's an incredibly versatile building material and not used nearly enough anymore.
This should be fun to watch. |
I posted these photos in the One57 thread. I don't think the renderings show just how dominant in height this will be for the area.
