Sorry for caps but my excitement is out of control. Like you said, those 3 supertalls are the greatest thing to happen to NYC in forever. Long live these design firms. :tup::notacrook: |

This is moving really rapidly for a super tall. "Groundwork" is always good news. :cheers:

Also, while this won't be a rental, it also won't be in the league of the so called "Billionaire's" towers.

My mouth is watering for a higher res rendering. Hopefully the papers will get on it. I'm liking what I can see from the facade materials. The massing is strange to say the least.
|
Maybe nice for Dubai....on second thought, I do see the nod to the WTC structural facade in the design. Just not a fan of the color. Shiny gold, bleh. Design, OK.

I'm conflicted on this one.
I love the "SHoP-esque" look and crown, but i'm typically not a fan of towers that get bulky towards the top. The immediate transition from the shiny slim bottom section to the large squared boxy center just doesn't work for me. I'll bet the final design come out much better though. |
Just an idea of what could have gone up here...

Good thing some of these super talls are going for the wicked looking crowns. Which is the trend I like to see, focus on crows because flat roofs have become the norm and some change is good. Skylines are often defined by the crowns (ESB, Chrysler, Woolworth) and its good to see a new generation of towers that will bring a unique flavor to the silhouette of the skylines.

Yes, the crowns are what made the New York skyline so great. And I'm loving these new (potential) additions. This one I think has the potential to become Downtown's Chrysler - not the tallest, but a very distinctive landmark skyscraper for the area. |
wow quite a change from the understated version of 45 Broad St. that I liked . .
(as seen in Hunser's Feb 12th post) . . this version of the building looks awkwardly convoluted to fit the small lot . . as well as vertically divided into ill-proportioned segments . . with an overly theatrical . . ridiculously literal kid's concept . . of an elaborate royal crown for a square-headed fairytale king . . "architectural" doesn't seem to be one of the appropriate adjectives . . befitting this crowning gesture. but what do I know from this render . . which is blurry overall . . and surrounding buildings . . like 40 Wall -l 60 Wall - 20 Exchange Place . . are depicted as weirdly wide . . so maybe . . who knows . . something akin to shop's downtown Brooklyn tower . . would have been so perfect here . . But hey . . Great for Brooklyn . . It really needs 340 Flatbush Ave . . But a high crown for the Center of the downtown Manhattan skyline . . so close to the excellence of 70 Pine . . it requires serious finesse - nuance - savoir-faire . . not brash oligarchical vulgarity . . just a first impression here . . |
I think its refreshing to see something so out-there for NYC.

2nd impression (about 8hrs later) of this newest version of 45 Broad . .
it's percolated a bit . . and I do agree . . that It's much better than the 2 examples we could've gotten . . as posted by NYguy yesterday morning . . I dig that a lot of you guys are comin' round to the idea of crown "distinctiveness" . . and what Wiggleworth has to say about groovin' on the "dark side of Gotham" . . also Chris's "wicked-lookin" vibe thing . . I so get that . . That expression of fierce enigmatic mysteriousness is what I call "SpooK" . . One gets a visceral gratification of intense awe & respect . . in response to a work of art (music architecture fashion natural phenomenon) . . because the piece oozes an almost dangerously exciting Presence . . in features conveying a strong otherworldly attitude of excellence presiding . . jagged Verre & barbaric Beresford have that . . 45 Broad - more than a smidgeon . . as well as a wonderfully odd funky quirkiness I suppose . . if there are fine points . . I'd love it if the crown were more resolute less prissy . . (show me clear details) I'd prefer the curlicue lace in the middle to be rigorous angular truss-work . . & if it were less Trumpy Gold . . Rusted corTen steel would be my choice . . so my curiosity is piqued . . |
Very unusual. I can't say I like it..but I think I really want it built.

New York needs a bold, gold builtind. Enough with the boring, blue glass already. Give us something that stands out, and not just for its height.

some information not sure if posted
http://thespaces.com/2016/03/01/gold...-broad-street/ I am surprised they are targeting "mid to entry level buyers". With the gaudy appearance I was assuming ultra luxury. |
