Gee, and we used to consider Skyhouse in the background of that picture a sliver tower. How times have changed.
|
Is this to be built solely on the deli land or does it include the buildings to the right of it?

^ Interesting. Thanks for the clarification. None of those buildings are particularly nice so there is no architectural loss there.

I'm wondering how many feet or meters a 40 stories and about 135,000 square feet could yield. Not sure how to do that math. |

281 5th Avenue 279 5th Avenue 2 East 30th Street I'd imagine they'd want to get 277 5th Ave also, but haven't heard anything about that. |
Yeah, nothing to miss there.

Not too crazy about the design, but it appears to be in the 900 ft range from the renders.
|
In a way it kinda works height wise. Design I'm sure we will get better renderings in the future, but given the location, its average at best. If it would of been something in the supertall range, given the presence of the ESB, I would like something a little more intriguing. At least it doesn't appear to be an eyesore for now.
|
It looks like lower Fifth Avenue is going to be lined with 900 ft.+ towers.
We have already three in development, at 29th Street, 30th Street, and 43rd Street, and still waiting on news for the Extell assemblage at 46th Street. |
I agree about the design being not too impressive, but it could easily be a lot better. The problem that I see with this building is that there are too many flat surfaces (observation deck protrusion and setback halfway up the tower) instead of rounded or slanted ones. Also, it would probably look much better with a pointy roof or a V shaped roof that follows the pattern of the braces that go all of the way up the tower.

This thing is awful, not only does it block ESB prominent position but its also ugly. If it was a sexy curved tower than I would like it better, but its a blocky ugly pos right now.
|
It's already been pointed out that these are two different renders for two different locations, but I'm not a fan of either...

Its tentative. I suspect the design will change. Still in its early stages.
