Taken from scoping documents...
http://www1.nyc.gov/assets/planning/...pe-work.pdfrom scoping documents... Another mini-mega development taking shape on the waterfront. Long overdue, and I love the density... http://a4.pbase.com/o10/06/102706/1/...2fHE2Z0.a2.JPG http://a4.pbase.com/o10/06/102706/1/...E2GG1zb.a1.JPG http://a4.pbase.com/o10/06/102706/1/...JGLhlYM.a3.JPG http://a4.pbase.com/o10/06/102706/1/...oIjVWN6.a4.JPG |
wow! thats massive. Hopefully they bring in some starchitects here like they did with Riverside Center/Waterline Square. Long Island City's waterfront is in some dire need of eye candy. This will surely take time to develop, so hopefully they don't cut corners. I don't think they'll have to worry about height considering there are 3 developments nearer to One Court Square which will surpass it.
I wonder what will be tallest, the tallest tower here, or the tallest of Hunters Point Phase 2? |
The two towered development that will rise just to the north...

Looks like between Anable Basin I and II, there are 12 total towers.
1) 695' 2) 645' 3) 550' 4) 460' 5) 330' 6) 285' 7) 500' 8) 450' 9) 350' 10) 125' Add the Basin I 11) 650' 12) 500' Not bad! :cheers: Can anyone verify? I have suspicion the two 500' heights are actually the same tower, but unsure. |

What's the likehood this rezoning passes and isn't killed by NIMBYs?
|
I have friends that live on the other side of the basin in Hunters Point and there is extremely strong opposition to this proposal. I, for one, hope it gets built as it will further the development creep up towards me on the Astoria waterfront. Plus, I hope they keep this: http://lictalk.com/matthew-barney-tr...own-clock-lic/ I had no idea that was Matthew Barney's studio.

^Shocking development: Neighboring tower dwellers oppose blocked northern views!!!

I honestly think you're way off there. I wouldn't be surprised if the plan is approved in its current form but for market reasons slightly scaled down over the course of the 15 year phased build-out. Of course there is also a chance it gets built pretty much exactly as proposed. I think its highly possible.

Whether or not it's watered down depends on public input, which generally tends to come from NIMBYs. I'm pessimistic...these sorts of plans usually *are* watered down in New York. The councilman that controls this district, Jimmy Van Bramer, killed a 100% affordable building with 210 affordable units that was much smaller than this (only 9 stories). Van Bramer listens to NIMBYs.
The best way to ensure that it won't get watered down too much is to vocally support this proposal, especially if you live in LIC/Astoria. Find your council district using this widget: https://council.nyc.gov/find-my-district-widget/ If you live in District 26, then you *must* call your council representative, Jimmy Van Bramer, and tell him you are a resident of his district (provide your address) and support this project because it provides the city with a school and over a thousand units of affordable housing and that you urge him to support it too. His phone number is 718-383-9566 and his email is JVanBramer@council.nyc.gov. |

TF Cornerstone contemplates massive office tower on former Amazon HQ2 campus along the Anable Basin By Bill Parry February 19, 2020 Quote:

Wow! 1,000,000 SF. That could be large enough to block the view of the Citi Building from Midtown.
|
That would be huge, literally. Hunters Point is really exploding. Having the 2 ferry stops is definitely helping accessibility.
|
Yeah, a 1 msf office tower, regardless of height, would be huge for that area.

I wish people would stop referring to every tower taller than 30 stories in NY a "mega tower" or "supertall". It only riles up the NIMBYs, and annoys me because we aren't gettin an actual supertall when they use it.
