How many elevators does this building have? No matter how small the elevators are, they have to take up a fair amount of space. How much space is left for the apartments? IMO it doesn't make economic sense to build such a slender 1400+ footer.
I haven't been following this thread, so I apologize if this has been discussed before. |
Well I've thought from the beginning that they shouldn't have pursued a tower until they had purchased the parcels on the west side of Steinway. This would have provided the ability to construct a tower 2.5 times as wide on the CPS face, thus a more profitable and less jarringly slender tower.

Well, you really should have been following this tower. You'd know that not to be the case. https://www.elliman.com/new-york-cit...reet-manhattan https://www.cityrealty.com/nyc/midto...h-street/55221 https://www.instagram.com/p/BsHHE7vBN28/ https://scontent-lht6-1.cdninstagram...OTIxMg%3D%3D.2 |

Keep in mind that this tower was originally planned as a smaller tower before it was combined with the Steinway building. And they still have ultra luxury units to sell, in an area that is seeing a lot of them. A larger tower might not have necessarily been built. |

If you bought/demolished these buildings, it wouldn't do anything for 111. Those buildings don't touch the tower portion of the property, and they have no additional rights. You could replace with a lowrise retail box or something, but nothing tall. |

Sorry to go off topic, but when did One 57's crown start being lit at night?? I was really surprised to see this considering how long the tower has been complete. It also looks really bright.

Thanks guys for explaining why this building's small footprint is not economically disadvantageous. I just thought of another plausible explanation why all these supertalls near Central Park are so skinny. As has been mentioned ad nauseam, there are concerns about them casting shadows over the park. Is it possible that had these buildings been not only supertall but also significantly wider, they would have had an even harder time getting approved?
