It's 964 ft. per DOB
http://www.yimbynews.com/2016/02/79-...land-city.html Mods, please change thread title to 79 floors/964 ft. |
LIC is on fire... 21 Feet Shy of a supertall...21 FEET!
COME ON!!! (: |
This building rocks!
|
Since it's 964' per DOB, this could be a supertall (with the crown). :)
|
^^^
I was thinking the same thing. |
I had almost forgotten about this one Come on, give us that extra 20 or so feet!
http://a810-bisweb.nyc.gov/bisweb/Jo...ssdocnumber=01 As noted, the DOB filing height isn't necessary the final height, so.... I want to see a render with this one and Queens Plaza Park, the other would be tallest in Queens... http://www.timesledger.com/stories/2...5_08_21_q.html http://www.timesledger.com/assets/ph...8_21_q01_z.jpg http://www.yimbynews.com/wp-content/...view-tower.jpg |
Its a good day today. Now we just have to see which boroughs tallest will win the race. Brooklyn or Queens.
With the JDS tower, and this, Manhattan is no longer the lone skyscraper paradise. Which is the trend I like to see. More skyscrapers in the outer boroughs. (Including JC, because JC is the Taiwan of NYC). It really belongs to NYC. :P |

It's crazy that BK Queens and JC all have a 900+ ft tower(s) in development. The rivers will feel like canyons. And the area will feel like a city from fiction, like Gotham or Metropolis, with never ending skylines. Lower Manhattan, Midtown, Hudson Yards, Downtown Brooklyn, Jersey City, Long Island City. The islands, and rivers, and bridges, and towers will really create an amazing sight.

Now we just have to get Newark in the game. With JC, once the area around Journal Square fully develops, it itself will be a mini LIC. I kinda view LIC as an extension of Midtown East. The march Eastward continues! In terms of canyons along the river, the Bronx and portions of upper Queens bordering the East river are going to transform. Lots of large scale developments in the works. Mostly in the 300-400 foot range, encompassing numerous towers, but its still way better than the empty lots that they will replace. :cheers: |
964ft , huh? I suppose that will do the job of covering that awful Manhattan facing blank wall on Court Square II :)
