Thanks for the update. Think this will be my favorite skinny supertall in the city and second favorite tower u/c behind Tower Verre.

Almost, but not quite. Part of it is "within" the landmark structure. Look at this view from above to get an idea... http://www.radiiinc.com/wp-content/u...Steinway_8.jpg http://m7.i.pbase.com/o9/06/102706/1...ic1009137b.JPG |
What is the top of this building in use? Mechanical? Open-air?
|
They put in a new crane a few days ago, I think. I was in a business meeting across the street, and they were putting something new in.
This site is insane from above, BTW. Sorry, I didn't get any pics. |

It appears to be at the same level as the setback on Steinway... about 4 or 5 floors above the roof of the grand entrance. Is that correct?

Sounds about right. http://m0.i.pbase.com/o9/06/102706/1...uZ9Pm1.w24.jpg |
I cannot wait to touch that terracotta :slob:
|
^ ha and thats all we will be able to do!
i cant imagine the complications of building on a site like this. once it rises above steinway the construction crew's lives should be easier. |
I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when they were showing the architects and engineers the site plan.
'You want us to build this on WHAT sort of lot!!!???' Only in NYC, London, and a few other select cities would it seems like a good idea to build such a monster on such a terrible lot (in terms of the size, shape). |
The roof is 7 feet taller than the ESB spire (excluding the lightning rod).
