Yes it is necessary to provide links. However, if that's all you wanted, it was posted on the previous page.


Meanwhile, looks like they have added about 20 ft to the design...

This is the newest view of the building, as seen from the rear. This view highlights the vertical shear wall, as well as the cross bracing. The cross bracing evokes the idea of a corset's laces, and creates additional shapes that compliment the building's form

The Eastern view of the tower.

A view looking up South Street, towards the Brooklyn Bridge.

This view is the front of the building, as seen from South Street.

Q. the revisions look like theres an increase in height?

A. We are experimenting a bit with increasing the height using different elements, but want to keep the majority of the roof height at 998'

It's improving. I still don't think we've seen the final version.

Agree that the South street view is the best side. It will also make for a nice addition to the downtown since it does not feel heavy like a lot of the 70's buildings in the area. Hopefully they won't loose any height.

In an Interview with New York YIMBY, Antony Morali, chief architect of Morali, said that the design has been created keeping in mind the effect of Hurricane Sandy.

"Well the Federal Government raised the base sea level elevation-they call it the BFE-I mean, we were already at about four feet above ground. But for any habitable space, I think it's going to go up to about eight or nine feet, so no habitable space can be below that at the Seaport. So basically what we're doing is raising the level of our city." Morali said in the interview.

He also added that the building's plans were moving along well and the 'rough deadline' is 2016. However, he was not very certain of the completion date.

The design has not yet been approved by the Department of Buildings. The planners, developers and architects are in constant touch with the department and are hopeful of acquiring certifications on the air rights that they have purchased from the neighboring buildings, reports New York Observer.
