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. |

I predict that as well... |
^ 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:

107 West 57th Street New York Tower Could Be The Skinniest Skyscraper Yet http://i.huffpost.com/gadgets/slides...?1382000813642 By Chris York 17/10/2013 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. |
