are they renovating the highrise in the background?
|
No, it's a sacrifice for Nobu.
|
no movement on Nobu. Its on hold. But the windows are now boarded up on the structure behind it. Could be the demolition is still going on. this would be a step forward. If the land behind Nobu is cleared when they finally get their financing, there won't be any wait time. So lets hope that is the case

Defaults Rise as Worst Is Yet to Come for Commercial Property By David M. Levitt April 2, 2009 Quote:

If developers learned to secure financing before demolishing buildings, this city would be up about a hundred beautiful, dense and useful buildings, and down a couple of really unsightly, deadening empty lots. But, of course, this is America, and this is New York; it's all about the damned bottom line.

Nogo for Nobu. :(

Even thought it won't happen, it'd be cool if that lot was turned into an atrium for that historic looking building next door. And that wall facing the lot was opened up to create an open environment. It'd be so cool if it happened... :(

Something will go there in time. This tower was nothing to get excited over, not to mention what was there didn't make much if any impact on the skyline. The way I see it, the demolition is one less thing to do once the market opens back up and developers are more concrete in starting projects.
Keep in mind this is prime real estate, so when the time is right it won't be an empty lot for long. |
^^Yeah, any vacant lot downtown won't remain that way for very long.

What do you bet this will turn into another McSam Special?
|
According to Wired New York theres some new construction activity on this site. Nothing at the DOB has been filed lately, so not sure what is going on.
|
This building is 709 ft. per NYC DOB.
There's definitely been recent construction activity at the site for a few weeks now, though I have no clue whether it's the original plans or something new. The most recent permit was from a few months ago, and shows residential. |
^^ Yeah, according to CTBUH too:
Figures Height: Architectural 216.0 meter / 709 feet Height: To Tip 216.0 meter / 709 feet Floors Above Ground 62 I really hope they started construction on this one! Would be another 700 footer for NY! |
Great news!! I really hope they stick with the older design with a sort of Goldman-esque curved front. One thing that always struck me about this building was that the curved part will face inwards, towards downtown as opposed to curving on the west and south side of lot and trying to incorporate some of the harbor. The upper floors on this will have breathtaking views of the urbanity of Lower Manhattan.
Thanks for the updates, definitely keeping my fingers crossed! |
And five years has passed since the creation of this topic, I hope it can be built as soon as possible. It has a good height and is a very fine building in a very good place. I like...
To get a sense of its height, it will be taller than the Washington 123 (W New York Downtown - 690 feet). |
709 feet is 216 meters :)
