From its sky gardens to the reaches of the new Hudson Boulevard Park, this new 1.6 million square foot tower will be surrounded by green. Soaring to a height of over a thousand feet, it will offer unparalleled views south and west over Hudson River Park, the High Line and the new park and development of the Hudson Rail Yards. A solar power-generating tower, "The GiraSole" will set a new standard for mixed use development by uniting premium corporate offices and the most exclusive residences with the state of the art in environmentally sustainable design. The project is on track for LEED Platinum certification. http://fxfowle.com/ |
Here is an old article...
Between The Bricks By LOIS WEISS November 9, 2005 Joseph Moinian is another West Side fan who is putting his money where his mouth is. We hear Moinian contracted to buy yet another Verizon building on the east side of 11th Ave. opposite Javits. This is one of the area's four super corners, where sources say he intends to construct a soaring, 1.5 million-foot mixed-use tower that will include retail, hotel, offices and residences. The 47,000-foot site at 555 W. 34th St. is next door to his Infinity Court apartments. David Noonan and Jimmy Kuhn of Newmark handled the brokerage, just as they did for Moinian's Verizon purchase on 11th Ave. between 42nd and 43rd Streets. Moinian is working there on a design for another 1.5 million square footer, next to the Costas Kondylis-designed apartment building he bought as plans from Jules Demchik and which is currently rising skyward.

Wow. Very impressive.
|

They look like they will complement one another very well. That will be one hell of a view down that street when they are done-talk about looking like a canyon!

:stunned: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:
This is 100% AMAZING!! The fact that it came out of nowhere made the surprise even better.:yes: Sherwood has a nice neighbor, thats for sure.:tup: Once again: :banana: :cheers: :banana: |
Good news.
But considering the size and the location of this building couldn't they have come up with a more original design...something like the Chicago Spire or 80 South Street. |
I think its very bold. It stands out, makes people on the street look up. I for one am not a fan of the CS design. This works well for my taste.

Supertall. *yawn*
Wait a minute, "supertall with No Spire !!!! :omg:" :cheers: :cheers: :tup: |
Nice proposal.
|
I like it, it kinda reminds me of something Foster would design. It also has no spire, NY needs a supertall with no spire... Not saying that spires are inherrently bad, but a flat top is nice for a change.
|
Very exciting project.

The stacking plan is a little confusing though... |
:) Also lets not forget about this 800 feet tower at 366 10th Avenue that is close by... Supertalls for NYC, keep them coming! :cheers:

"HOLY.......FUCKING........SHITT!!!!!!!"
....that was my immediate reaction to this thread. I just can't believe this. These are like the two (or three- I wanna see a better rendering of the 10th Avenue tower) most thrilling proposals I've seen in quite a while. 34th and 42nd are on their way to becoming the first two complete cross-town canyons (correct me if I left any out). :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: |
Awesome. This part of town will look great!
All those 3 projects in a vicinity, cool...What's the height of the square tower on the first render of post 4? Does it have a thread? |
http://www.skyscrapernews.com/images...lding_pic1.jpg
http://i19.tinypic.com/4md2irm.jpg Wow, these are both really beautiful. Along with the NYTimes Building, BOA, TrumpSoHo, WilliamBeaverHouse, 7WTC, etc... NYC is collecting some VERY nice buildings. IMO, dispite some REALLY awful exceptions, most of what's going on in NYC is really nice... in fact, i'd even go as far to say that NYC is at the forefront of American Architecture right now. *NYC is showing the rest of the world how to do glass skyscrapers the right way.* |
Relationship of this tower with various westside developments:

I, for one, welcome our new Westside giants. This in is looking real good, nice glass facade and yet a contrast with the also-nice glass tower next door.

And there's also the MSG and Penn Station redevelopment to the east. http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/69904123/original.jpg This cluster will be a sight to behold. The ESB will be almost lost from view from the Jersey side. :) |

But I still welcome this new supertall...(which looks more office btw)....:banana: |
Wow. Just when I thought the westside was going to be a repeat of midtown-east, the Girasol design is released.
|
The west side developments are moving along faster than I thought. But we haven't seen anything yet. Just wait until the full scope of the railyard plans are released...:yes:
Also, looking at the design, Im understanding it a bit more. It's mixed-use, which explains the direct subway connection... http://i11.tinypic.com/681ws9j.jpg http://i12.tinypic.com/6czw7ro.jpg http://i3.tinypic.com/6gxj9s6.jpg |

Directly to the south, fxfowle will have a hand in the World Product Center: Quote:
|
Just a sign of things to come. Whether you like the design or not it significant in that it shows that NYC will be a participant in building supertall bldgs. It may take a while, but, given the demand for commercial space and the aging commercial office bldg infrastructure, NYC will remain very relevant when it comes to supertall construction.

The GiraSole Coming to Hudson Yards? http://curbed.com/uploads/2007_10_girasole1.jpg http://curbed.com/uploads/2007_10_girasole2.jpg Thursday, November 1, 2007, by Joey Our public demanded it, so here it is. In yesterday's Linkage, someone commented that we should cover the GiraSole (and then called us "hoes"). The GiraSole? Ah yes, the GiraSole! Visitors to the Javits Center may have notice a huge walled-off pit across the street, with Moinian Group signage all over it. The plot will be the latest in a group of new high-rises surrounding, and occupying, the Hudson Yards. The above, as pointed out by the eagle-eyed SkyscraperPage forum users, is what architecture firm FXFOWLE suggests occupy that pit, at 555 West 34th Street. But if this mixed-use monster gets built, don't expect the view to remain the same as the above rendering. First, the facts on the building. According to FXFOWLE, the GiraSole will be completed in 2011. The thousand-foot office/condo tower will also be green as hell, with "sky gardens" and a solar power-generating crown. LEED Platinum certification is also on tap. Pretty exciting stuff, but can it steal the spotlight from its various upcoming neighbors. A SkyscraperPage member put together this graphic, showing all the new gigantic developments in the immediate area, including architect Steven Holl's Towering S. There can never be enough PAX, 'wichcraft, Cafe Metro and Pronto Pizza locations to cater to this influx of office drones. That 7 Train stop sure is going to be a party, though. http://curbed.com/uploads/2007_10_girasole3.jpg |
wow. how many 1,000+ do we have proposed/under construction now in the city? anyone know?
|
completed 2011? think they've to start soon

Now this looks very promising! A real cluster with a couple of giants on the West side would be sweeet :)

What's really surprising to me is that Extell is starting work on a tall tower as is Moinian. Has the 7 line even started construction yet? Right now there is no middle ground, theres these construction sites and then gas-stations, chop shops, junk shops, mcdonalds, clubs, and parking lots. |

Because of complications regarding the winner of the railyards site, and its various bidders/tenants, some of the other developers in the area are waiting to pick up the pieces from the fallout. Everyone looking to may get to move to the west side, one way or another. It's like the city has created a big playground for developers, and said "go out and play!" |
http://i3.tinypic.com/6gxj9s6.jpg
It's nice, simple. It reminds me somewhat of an extruded version of 7WTC from certain angles. |
Great tower. Great news. It reminds me a little of the citigroup center.

This reminds me of when skyscrapers in Manhattan were just starting out. Nothing built back then but TALL, beautiful, bold, iconic buildings. These new developements prove that history does indeed repeat itself. |
Quote:
Oh, yeah, they're such exciting looking... rectangles:rolleyes: Doesn't it ever occur to you that spires add variety and excitement? |
