If there where any true artists there they would of realized a long time ago that this is art. Hell, if they wanted to cantilever this tower over by 30 foot home I'd gladly let them. All I have though are oak trees and a Japanese blossom as the skyscrapers in my neighborhood. :haha:

Seems I've come home at just the right time to get into this. Latest permit list a building height of 1,490 ft. Of course, with a spire it will be much higher.

^ 1,490' roof + 60' crown = 1,550'! :D
Would be epic if Nordstrom ends up taller. |
^ Yeah, I just want to put this in the column of finally knowing exactly what we are getting. Official renders would be nice, good or bad.
|
For some reason I keep thinking this tower will have a small footprint, but this site really is quite large.
Well folks, regardless of what happens, we will be getting our first +/- 1500+ foot tower (not counting the spire). Very exciting stuff... |
The tower footprint is huge! It's like on the scale of 1WTC (which is party due to the Nordstrom in the base.) 225 West 57th will definitely be on the scale of the tallest building in the city, if it were not for it being 1 foot shorter. :haha:
It's an ambitious and grand project on Barnett's side. This is kind of the like the 21st Century version of the Sears Tower in New York done by the same architect. |

Nothing will top 1WTC for awhile. I don't expect the Hudson Spire to get off the ground anytime soon if ever at the purposed height. This building boom will eventually trail off. |

Right now, there is no serious proposal, though the Shvo Tower, at 100 floors, may be taller, and there are plenty of sites in Hudson Yards, Midtown and near Central Park. |

^^ interesting news. How far along is that proposal? And do you have any idea when we will be seeing some action on that site (permits, renderings...)?
|
^ I'm sure that'll be posted in the appropriate thread.
As far as this tower goes, if its at 1,775 ft, it'll be the second tallest, a foot shorter than the Freedom Tower (even if it has a higher roof height). But with so many supertall towers going up in Manhattan now and in the future, I think design is more important for this one. |
