I think what they mean by "coreless" store, is that the site is big enough to basically have a large podium for Nordstrom and then the tower off to one side, kinda like the 50 Bloor proposal in Toronto (below): http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8022/7...21891186_z.jpg Source: SparksTO @ Flickr |

So since it says that Nordstrom will be open at the tower in 2017-2018, does that mean that's when the tower itself will be finished or would it likely be sooner than that, cause that seems too far away, especially if its starting 1st quarter of 2013.

Not really. We're talking four years from excavation to completion. Its a very large tower wirh completion dates similar to the Hudson Yards towers. That's all assuming the tower goes vertical next year, and I don't see why not.

The press conference from the mayor's gallery. Maybe they like'em tall because they're so tall...Bloomberg seems so tiny...:D

A supertall for super tall people- I like it! :jester: I'm 6'3'' btw... nothing special for Central / North Europeans (Austria, Germany, Netherlands, Scandinavia etc.) :D
(Bloomberg is 5'6'', that's why he looks like a dwarf compared to these guys) |

:haha: |
Yeah, but come on. Sven there looks like he's close to 7'.
|
Hahaha I'm only 5'11"
|
I am actually 6'2.
Anyway I think it is fitting that such a tall building is being built by tall people. Very symbolic I think. |

I wonder if it will play into the decision of making this tower the city's tallest, or at least trying to (they're so close, why not). It will supposedly be the tallest Nordstrom, and they are working with Extell on design and architect. Hmmmm.....:sly: http://www.mediapost.com/publication...manhattan.html Quote:

wow, id probably be able to walk through their legs without ducking. I'm 5'3" haha. But they definitely joked about that them wanting high ceilings cause they're so freaking tall. And won't it be more dangerous since the buildings so tall yet won't have a core?
|
I wish we had a more distant shot of that Bloomberg-Nordstrom-Extell shot. I'm sure those guys were making quite a mark on the New York skyline.

I hope Nordstrom doesn't sway the design of this tower to become too conservative (i.e. a box). I'd love to see something that is quite interesting to rise on the site.
|
I'm pretty sure that all that Nordstrom cares above is the layout and interior design of the department store.
