48-Story Tower Will Rise on Fulton Street This Summer http://assets.dnainfo.com/generated/...age640x480.jpg http://assets.dnainfo.com/generated/...age640x480.jpg Developer Lightstone Group is planning a 48-story mixed use building on Fulton Street. Construction is slated to start this summer. Pictured on the right is a 61-floor version of the building, which developers have said they do not want to pursue. May 3, 2013 By Irene Plagianos Quote:

Wow SSP surely does not sleep. I like that you guys cover the world. I will be in 'SFO' in a couple weeks.
|
I hope they go with the 61-floor version. I prefer that design, and the added height.
|
^ Yeah, the massing looks sleeker. I don't know what's going on here. Usually these developers are pushed to include some type of affordable housing. But here, they seem to want to go out of the way to include it. I wonder what else they're asking for.

Downtown's uninspiring designs keep coming...hopefully not final.
|
i heard this project was as-of-right, things should move along quickly as soon as things start
|
They should double air rights for residential development across the FiDi/Seaport; these towers are so boring and uninspired. They might as well be tall, and in exchange for transit improvements from the developers, they would add to Downtown -- despite all the recent conversions and new construction, the FiDi remains mostly dead.
Soon the neighborhood will have three 800'+ residential towers under construction, but still - things could be taller! ;) |
^ Fulton Street itself was to be the "spine" of the revitalized financial district. There are multiple initiatives in place that will change the dynamic of the area, making the financial district more of an after hours place. But I don't want to go into that here.

in a way, this project is a bummer because it's nuking precisely the sort of active street that the fidi is so hard-up for. pretty much everything south of fulton is a wasteland of road and tower. i'm prepping a move to nyc for next year and one of the major things for me is to make sure that i'm working in mid-town, because i find the fidi so unpleasant to be in. granted, i'm not keen on what this one with bring to the street in terms of retail and that, but assuming a garage ingress, this sort of tower project doesn't improve things. great for skyscraper creeps like us looking at the skyline, bad for the neighborhood qua destination beyond the office hives.

Decent filler.

A height increase! |

Possibly, but remember, they wanted to build a lower version. Quote:

The relative shortcomings of the Wall Street area don't really have anything to do with too much density or height. It's because of not enough residential or hotel to active after-hours (which this building will help remediate, IMO). Quote:

Looks dull so far. Hope they add some little nooks and crannies at the very least.

Doesn't look too bad in the rendering. Reminds me of Aqua in Chicago...

The textured facade should work well alongside 8 Spruce Street. As much as I love what Ghery built there, I've always felt that it has been hampered by a lack of modern architecture in its immediate vicinity.

Another look at it...

Far better than what I was expecting, but those initial renderings lowered my expectations significantly. Nice to see Beekman getting some company.
