http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/20...treet-ss04.jpg The construction site of the new Extell tower, on 57th Street between Broadway and Seventh Avenue. The building will be cantilevered over its neighbor, the Art Students League, built in 1892, at right. http://www.vanityfair.com/dam/2014/0...-street-02.jpg |
man, those site placements are just phoned in.

Now we just need one in between Steinway and 432 park.

The small retail extension of 432 Park is out of place. It should be on the corner of Park and 56th. |

57th between 5th and 6th, especially is key, with multiple assemblages. |

As far as 432 Park goes, your problem is with the render, not location. But in case it isn't obvious from 520, those drawings aren't meant to be 100%. But I agree with Crawford. A height of 1,397 ft would be great for that tower. It was exciting enough when it jumped up to a potential 900 footer, and has only gone up since then. But will Barnett feel any heat from it? Don't know. |

It would have been cool if they ghosted all the other nearby buildings in, so you could get a sense of the scale. Right now they don't look absurdly tall.

Hopefully 225 won't end up any shorter which I doubt it will, and while it would be taller than Steinway at about ~1430 feet it would be hardly noticeable. 1500' isn't really a whole lot taller than 1397' either but at least it's a visible difference. |

My, my. Someone can't accept correction. As I stated, Steinway tower is in the center of the block: http://i1013.photobucket.com/albums/...e.jpg~original As far as 432 Park is concerned, “problem is with the render, not location”? What do you think we’re talking about? The small retail component on the corner of 56th and Park is way out of place in the render. |

I know what you said, and my point is it's ridiculous. If you look at that map, and what you get from it is that the Steinway tower isn't in the "middle" of the site it will rise above, then you've got more problems than the render. It should be readily apparent to you that it isn't an exact scale mockup. Or did you think all of the towers would really be blue as well? The map is a marker, nothing more. And an excellent one.

I guess we're splitting hairs but I personally would like something to at least break Sears Tower and end up in the higher 1400's. Seriously it's been the highest roof for 40 years. |
