The 777 foot 45 East 22nd has about 370,000 sf of space for reference, but is on a much more narrow lot.
|
Hopefully they can acquire some additional air rights and get some serious height in this location.
It will need to be at least 600-700 ft. to have any skyline presence. |

YIMBY just posted renderings, "only" 639 footer, but looks great :

^Absolutely gorgeous tower. The other shots YIMBY posted of close up details of the façade make this tower a 9/10 imo
|
It'll be almost catty-corner from Sky House and two blocks down from the NY Life tower.
I'd say that's prominent. Congrats to CR once more for a unique design. It somehow looks like what TVerre/53W53 might have looked like if it were built in a more architecturally "conservative" time....or if the location were anywhere other than MOMA and thus not needing the look of an appropriately sculpted "landmark" tower. |
I like it.
|
I like a return to crowns...

Just as an aside, 200 Amsterdam @right has CetraRuddy doing the interiors, when I thought, with its immediate first-glance similarity to this one, that the opposite would be true...
Research pays off, grasshoppers. ;) |
Again, it makes one wonder why that developer chose Elkus Manfredi instead of just using Cetra Ruddy for the whole project. I'm sure that Cetra Ruddy would have come up with a much better design.
Also, it's kind of fitting that Cetra Ruddy is doing these projects since they lost that prime Steinway tower project to an Art-Deco style tower. Maybe they read the writing on the wall. |
This is sexy AF.

Since the base image appears to have been subjected to a modest degree of embellishment (whatever it's called), I'm going to invoke the spirit of the late great Benny Hill and ass-u-me that the crown's angle won't end up as pronounced as how I'm seeing it.
|
My only complaint is that the base would look even better if it was about twice as tall. I suppose the short base is an affect of the rigid building envelope diagonal in the NYC building code...
|
@Busy Bee:
Point of clarification in my part: I assume you're talking base vis a vis the tower in this thread. My "base" reference was, as you can therefore prolly infer, re the image used to superimpose 45 Broad on. |
Correct, I'm referring to the streetwall base of this tower. It is stumpy and would look better about twice as tall, but I'm assuming the sky plane guidelines forced it to be so short?
