”It will be one of the most incredible tall buildings in New York City,” Blau gushed Friday.
I’m trying to analyze that statement, but I think the emphasis there was on an incredibly “tall” building, not just a standout design. It would be great to have both, but it doesn’t really take much to make a very tall building iconic with a little effort. I don’t want to speculate heightwise, but probably at leadt taller than 30 Hudson. It would be something that would be a destination unto itself. I’m ok with not too many details for now. Less for the NIMBYs to scream about.

There are about 6 and a half msf of development rights here, so depending on what those sizes are based on (a 3 msf zoned tower would end up in total above 3.5 msf), 3 msf for the hotel,casino, 2 msf for the office tower, and that leaves the rest for residential and the school.
