Local Residents Vent About Starrett’s Proposed 62-Story Tower in Two Bridges Area http://i0.wp.com/www.thelodownny.com...size=750%2C563 By Ed Litvak December 13, 2016 Quote:

Any reason it has to be tall and so big??? Hmmm, because Manhattan is a village??? :rolleyes: Its not like the housing in the area is spectacular. This will only add to the NYHA projects nearby. |

With the towers nearby being much smaller than these new monoliths rising, even at 700-800 feet, given the surroundings, these will appear much taller. At least the illusion is there per say. In Midtown, these would blend into the fabric, but this location is where tall towers have a chance to really show off. Well... until the area becomes blocks of 700+ footers, then we will see.
That's why these architects need to have bangin' designs. A giant advertisement to their work, seen from the Bridges nearby, will be an epic sight. |
Being directly on the waterfront will also make these towers stand out. We really don't have many towers that tall directly on the river. This eill change a lot when 80 South gets built.
|
Wow, another new cluster is forming. NYC is a beast
|
This area is really changing. The MTA really needs to step up an build more lines to cover some of these popular but poorly served areas
|
Phase IV of the Second Avenue subway should help serve this area in about 5 decades. The existing East Broadway stop on the F-line is only a couple blocks away.

yeah being up on the waterfront is certainly a key draw here looks-wise for how this cluster of apts will turn out on the skyline.
the initial tower is not a spectacular bldg or anything, but its impressive in size for this site and looks ok. speaking of the site, i certainly hope this feature works well: 'The tower’s ground-floor retail will be constructed one foot above the floodplain, with flood gates and tanks created to address flooding.' |
I was hoping this site south of the bridge (particularly the storage) would join the parade of towers, it would be ideal for a large development...

They are literally building a tower straddling over a ridiculously hideous and outdated midrise and they think they aren't being accommodated enough down there? Please.

These people are stupid and unfortunately there's nobody to educate them. The politicians try to pander instead telling them the truth.
Restricting development and building size and/or height would only lead to faster rising housing costs and gentrification. Instead of fighting these buildings, they should be asking for developers to build more buildings and include more affordable units in them. Putting a limit on supply means the poorest will lose out in an economic musical chairs. For example, if there 10 housing units and there are 12 applicants, then the 10 highest income applicants will always end up get those 10 units and the two lowest income applicants lose out. That is the economics of gentrification, simplified. To fight gentrification, you want more units, not less. |
