Interesting but looks rather out of place.
|
Interesting concept - but not sure if it has legs to move forward . . . at least until the necessary approvals are gained.
|
a new proposal that already looks very dated. I'll pass
|
I don't really like it. I like Calatrava's work better.
|
yea building seems ugly to me..hopefully they chagne the design..im glad to see another proposal come up tho :)
|
I like this one more than the previous proposal and I'll like it even more when some good renderings are released.
|
I feel like I may be in the minority by actually kinda liking the proposal. It reminds me a bit of a edited version of Paul Rudolph's proposal for housing over the ill-fated Lower Manhattan expressway:

hoping for something a little more conform for the skyline. Not exactly a box, but something less... well monstrous. I liked the 'floating boxes with a huge spire' proposal better. solely personal opinion
|
I like that it at least references to old Calatrava design, but I need to see a more polished design/rendering to judge it properly.
|
Why didn't they just kept Calatrava's design? Well, at least Lower Manhattan is getting another 700 footer. I hope this could even reach 1,000 feet. Would be a great recond considering that the WTC was the only building in both versions to accomplish this near the Financial District.
|
Look, I expect anything to this place, just do not want one simple building. This seems "different", but a little out of place ... Anyway, I think this is hard to see built.
|
It's not bad from the river side. Needs more work on the sides though.
|
grotesque building in the wrong spot other than that it's fine:yuck: it belongs up near Union Sq IMO not on the waterfront
|
It's an early rendering of the concept, and the walls probably won't look as blank...
http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/144675492/original.jpg It reminds me of Waterside Plaza... http://www.newyorkrealestatenews.org...de-720x426.jpg http://www.newyorkrealestatenews.org...a-nyc-rentals/ http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...side_Plaza.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Waterside_Plaza.jpg |
It's funny how badly Lower Manhattan's skyline was ruined in the 70s. Look at all the suburban office park towers behind this thing.
The redesign is a bit of a shame considering the spectacular old Calatrava proposal, but it should still be fresh enough to reinvigorate this little corner of the cityscape. The gardens are a unique addition as well. |
Poor 70 Pine. My favorite skyscraper of all time, empty and slowly sinking into the rising urban tide.
|
What the ... ? Please God, don't let this abomination go up. :yuck:
|
^god?
