My guess is 1397 is more accurate than 1350 or 1400, because it came from the developers themselves, and seems to be the most common height cited. But until we have permits and construction, we won't know for sure. |

Filing for revised drawings, assuming they are the current plans...

Are there any better floorplans (with or without units shown)? Glad the poster showed what is on page 33, but would love something a bit clearer/more detailed.
Any help would be appreciated! |
115 & 117
Alright, so this is a pretty left field theory i have but it has to be thrown out there. I mentioned at the infancy of this project what a shame it was that those lousy squat buildings to the west of Steinway Hall could not be acquired for this tower.
Now we have this peculiar DOB sidewalk scaffold filing for a total of 143 running feet of shed. Does anyone find it a bit unusual or coincidental that this lenghth happens to be almost exactly the length it would be if 115 and 117 were included? And its an alteration filing! What are the chances we've got an expanded building on our hands. One that is now wider taking FULL advantage of the site and straddling Steinway Hall? I for one think a wider structure would be even better than the current proposal because it eliminates the almost freakish proportions of the design that has the potential to look almost absurd. WHY would scaffold be needed for 115 & 117 W 57? Thoughts? |
Are there pics of all of this?
I think if it becomes wider then it could be a good thing. I normally wouldn't say this but it looks dangerously thin from these models. Quote:

that's my model I made a while back. I made a mistake with 111 west 57th street. In that model i mistakely made it 40' by 60'...I later fixed it into it's proper dimensions 58'-9" by 79'-3". Here one of the pics of the final product I posted about a couple months back in various threads.

Ok then it doesn't look dangerously thin. :) |

Not the most accurate piece, but nice to get a better look at that rendering...

1300? Probably just the article. Here we go!
|
Its exciting that this is starting construction. Hopefully someone can head down there soon and take some pics.

Poor One57. It was only the tallest in the area for a little bit. Now 432 Park is rising like its on meth to the top, and now this. Hopefully this tower will rise like bamboo quickly like 432 Park Ave. Unlike bulky towers, the skinnier they are, the taller they look. This one will catch people by surprise as the local folk probably has no idea. Well, except the ones hearing the construction right next to their window. :haha:

And I love the way the building shines, at least in the rendering. Can't wait to see how it plays out in person. http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/155785274/original.jpg |
