We can see the inspiration behind what is being developed here, not necessarily by design, but a modern tower that can transform the city's skyline, all but one a supertall.

Only the Miglin-Beitler Skyneedle tower (2000ft and 1.9msf) is good for this site, but i doubt that a 2000ft can be build here. |

Very exciting news for NYC. I will eagerly await to see the design of what will be built here I certainly imagine the word "awesome" will be used upon seeing the rendering.

whatever it is, it will soar over the Metlife building. It has the potential to be NYC's tallest.

I hope that they build this one as tall as possible, but the only way that this one will reach above 1,500 feet by roof height is if a significant residential component is added to it, which doesn't seem likely considering this is a prime office location. I also hope that they design a true 21st century icon for the city, something that will be synonymous with New York like the Empire State Building, The Chrysler and the WTC complex.

^ You could very well see hotel and residential space at the top. As mentioned earlier, they are studying the exact mix they want to build on site.

I'm not sure I agree about future vacancies, though. I know that a lot of businesses are looking for more-modern office-space for tech reasons. If there's a huge swatch of vacancies in the future, I would imagine they would be in older buildings. |

The east side of Manhattan is not a huge swath of unused space like the west side of Manhattan. That's the difference between the east side and the Hudson Yards. On the west side, virtually everything going up will be surrounded by something else that just went up. It will be an entirely new business district. On the east side however, what you will have is a traditional business district peppered with new development. That is all it is, and the City is trying to encourage developers to build there. http://news.stockmarketvideo.com/sl-...uilding/11505/ SL Green Realty Thinking of Mega Building June 4, 2012 By Tim Rao Quote:

There aren't going to be whole major swaths of the east side demolished for development. Developers are only going to build what they can, and if they can it is only because of demand. |
Yeah, the developers have very little if any desire to demolish a leased, income producing million square foot building to create an empty lot in order to put up a 2 or 3 million square foot building without tenants or financing guaranteed. This isn't like knocking down a couple of dinky tenements in anticipation of future development that will be of a much greater scale than the tenements.

Yeah, imagine the outrage if that entire block were demolished, only to sit as a vacant lot for a few years in the heart of Midtown. As with the 15 Penn site, having the right to build doesn't outright mean demolishing will commence. Things will proceed very orderly here. Quote:
