They always get amazing views. Meanwhile, we're reaching the top with the cladding...


















Just a few days ago...

In those 9 Mile Productions stills, you can see what appears to be LED lights in the exterior column cladding on the north and south faces. That's the first time I've seen those.

Looks like the LEDs stop at the event floors and pick up again above? Am I wrong?

[NYguy]

A look at those panels going in from an earlier post..

Really hoping they nail the lighting on this one! (Especially to make up for the dumpster fire that is currently the lighting on 111 W 57th and CPT).

From the official F+P renders there appears to be some kind of 'column' lighting, at least down near street level.



I have a feeling this will look real good at night, especially if the renders are anything to go by.

I think that's purely aspirational. There's clearly something different going on lighting wise at the event level.

Yeah, I think there's a good chance you're right. As long as it at least resembles the renders, I'm happy!

Maybe something more subtle than what's seen in the renders would fit better - the crown lighting in particular might look better with something more muted.

Well, we know that Jamie Dimon said the final 300 ft (the last 2 levels) will have light shows.

The level of detail Jamie is describing in that video makes the LED strips a lot more likely:

"We can put your faces on it, we can put the American flag on it, so we're going to celebrate various things on that [building]."

Sounds like it'll fit right in with the rest of the midtown supertalls.



Meanwhile from LIC: That upper diamond profile is really taking shape.

Presumably, the medians in front of JPMC will be widened now.

Midtown’s J.P. Morgan Sales Bump


By Kim Velsey
Aug 5, 2024

As Shea mentioned, J.P. Morgan, one of the staunchest supporters of working from the office, is finishing 270 Park Avenue, a 2.5-million-square-foot Norman Foster–designed behemoth expected to hold upwards of 10,000 employees when it opens next year. Its old headquarters across the street has less than half that — 3,500 workers.

More blue-chip towers (and, presumably, wealthy buyers) are on the horizon, including the 62-story 350 Park Avenue, the new Vornado and Rudin tower that Ken Griffin’s Citadel is expected to take nearly half of, and 175 Park Avenue, an RXR/TF Cornerstone project slated to be the tallest office building in New York. Plus, there’s One Vanderbilt, which opened a few years ago with tenants including TD Securities, Oak Hill Capital, and the Carlyle Group. Brokers are eagerly anticipating the corresponding sales bump at nearby residential projects. Some say that they’re already seeing it.

“It’s definitely helping with traffic,” says Donna Puzio, a senior sales director at Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group who’s overseeing sales at 520 Fifth Avenue, a mixed-use tower designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox. The units there, with curved Charles & Co. interiors of white oak and green marble, are large and luxurious, but primarily one- and two-beds, starting around $1.75 million, and the building is now 60 percent sold after just a few months.
