Yeah, and I don't mind the boxiness here at all. It's 1,100 ft of sheer skyscraper.
As I mentioned earlier, this won't be the ultr-luxury skyscraper like the towers planned along 57th Street. Here's a comparison to those towers, and what they have planned:
One57........................92 / 65
432 Park Avenue..........125
520 Park Avenue..........39
Nordstrom...................233
111 W. 57th................61
Tower Verre................180
220 CPS.....................160
520 W 41...................1,400
As you can see, 520 W 41 has more than all of those other towers combined. It will probably have more "affordable" units than some of those towers have total units.
I believe Silverstein will get his approval to allow more residential space over office space, and he makes his case as follows...
Though some features could change, the tower would basically be in the form it is for reasons given below...
The affordable housing component...
