NEW YORK | 15 Penn Plaza (Hotel Penn) | 1,034 FT / 315 M | 53 FLOORS
Scoping documents have been released, as the approval process for this one is about to begin:
Public Scoping Meeting on the 15 Penn Plaza Project A public scoping meeting will be held on Tuesday, January 27, 2009 at the New York City Department of City Planning’s Spector Hall, 22 Reade Street, New York, New York, 10007. The meeting will begin at 10 AM. Written comments will be accepted by the lead agency until Wednesday, February 11, 2009. Draft Scope EAS The developers (Vornado) are proposing two development scenarios - single or multi tenant. The multi tenant tower would be the taller of the two, while the single tenant tower would be slightly lower (1,119 ft). There is of course the "no build" option, where the developer would build a 580 ft tower. ______________________________ From the documents: The project is expected to take 4 years (2010-2014) http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/107354377/large.jpg Both options would produce a supertall of over 1100 ft : http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/107354375/large.jpg http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/107354348/large.jpg http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/107354374/large.jpg The gold version is the single tenant option: http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/107354381/large.jpg http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/107354393/large.jpg http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/107354413/large.jpg http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/107354413/original.jpg The no build alternative: http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/107354417/large.jpg |
Looks to be close to this version:

Amazing that in this economy a project like this can still proceed!
Why don't they just add the lousy 2 feet to make it a clean 1,200 footer? In a few more years, the NYC skyline will be just littered with supertalls... in a good way, of course:cheers: |
I really really like this design. It's bulky but not overbearing. It just looks like a giant monolith. There's something about the proportions that I am just in love with!:cheers:

What a monster.

I have noticed that there have been a lot of tall proposals closer and closer to the Empire State Building. Is it only a matter of time before Empire State is seen as one of many tall buildings in the area, the way Woolworth is in Lower Manhattan? I love the proposals that have come out, but I wonder if they will change the way we view Empire State. I can't help but worry that we may lose something when it comes to the way we perceive Empire State.

lol, BofA's spire will make the building officially taller than this 1198 ft block.

This is an example of how the ESB would compare with a built out west side (railyard proposal is not the current proposal, but of similar height). What's missing is the Hotel Penn tower and it's neighbor accross 7th Ave that will be in the 1100 - 1200 ft range... http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/105264746/large.jpg I think we need a couple of spires in the mix. |
Also of note, though the planning for the Moynihan Station project isn't complete yet, it does look like they are planning to move forward without relocation of MSG (not good) but the Penn East tower - said to be from 1100 to 1200 ft, and the Penn West tower are still in the making...
from the draft scope: Quote:
Also of note are the transportation improvements (key to the 20 % building bonus) that we will get... Quote:

I like the way this looks!

New York always amazes me.

I've decided that I'm good with either version of the tower being built. The single tenant tower rises from a sheer wall on 7th Avenue, while the multi-tenant version rises from the center of the base and relates more to the Empire State Building (although it could probably use a spire). My preference would have to depend on what design will be proposed for the Penn East site.

:O
Nice little Yule-gift this :) the westside will see a huge change. I'm lovin' it. |
The style is very pelli-esque.
|
I like it already.
|
I like it also. Nice design. The ESB could use some company.
Reminds me of a spring flower (tulip) about to bloom. |
