If it turns out like the rendering with that greenery I think it will make for a classy addition.

Site is for sale. I can't believe I'm about to say this, but this is a potentially really great looking Kauffman building, IF, the below is what gets built, and they don't use awful materials.

"...The Roe Corporation, headed by CEO Buhm Jung Roe, has put together plans for a Gene Kaufman and BKSK Architects-designed tower rising 560 feet tall with a 131-key hotel on 23 floors topped by 18 floors of condos..."



EDIT : YIMHudson on YIMBY Forums found a bunch of new renderings, props to him/her :

The last rendering shows a massive blank wall. Even when you initially think Kaufman finally does something right, there’s something to ruin it.

The BKSK Architects made the nice design, all Kaufman did was add the blank wall.

You've also got the lousy setback, but that like usual is probably more the city's fault than Kaufmann or other hacks.

New Renderings Reveal Gene Kaufman’s Mixed-Use Skyscraper At 267 Broadway In Tribeca, Manhattan

New renderings have been released for 267 Broadway, a 510-foot-tall mixed-use building in Tribeca. Designed by Gene Kaufman Architects and developed by the The Roe Corporation, the 42-story development will span an estimated 144,244 square feet and feature 37 residential units above an 80-room boutique hotel. The site is located between Chambers Street and Warren Street and is currently occupied by a five-story low-rise building.

The new renderings illustrate refinement of the architects’ previous iteration, which was revealed in February of 2018, and showcase the full height of the edifice with its thin profile facing Broadway, and its low-rise podium and vertical façade elements. The glass and stone tower sets back from the street and rises to a tall section around the midway point featuring glass cladding and narrow, round columns. This is likely the 15th floor amenity space for residents, which would feature a fitness center, a spa, and outdoor space. The southern elevation incorporates a number of balconies that face the Lower Manhattan skyline. Above the last setback is an angled glass cube that slightly cantilevers over the edges of the building. The back side of the structure facing west is where we assume the elevators, mechanical shafts, and egress staircases will be located.

The second close-up rendering shows the upper part of 267 Broadway where the glass cube is placed. A spiraling staircase with a circular cutout in the floor can be spotted, likely part of the slated three-story penthouse. One remarkable aspect about the location of the project is that anyone facing east toward City Hall will have views aligned almost perfectly with the roadway of the Brooklyn Bridge.

The project is planned to yield 38,139 square feet of hotel space between floors three and 12 and 92,671 square feet of residential area.

A construction timeline and completion date for 267 Broadway have yet to be announced.

Not bad, and way better than what's there now.

[jackster99]

Wow, incredible for Gene Kaufman, probably best project of his career. And infinitely better than what is currently on the site. I see this as a total win

[Hudson11]

If they light that glass box like Courtyard and Residence Inn on Broadway, it would look great on the skyline.

[Zerton]

Maybe he's been reading our critiques... lol.

I really like this one! It's a lot easier to be a better architect with bigger budget.

[Crawford]

This one looks pretty good. Tiny site, and it fits in quite well.

And yeah, hopefully that crown will be brightly lit.

Wish the setback wasnt until the height of the neighboring buildings setback. But that's the genius of the sky-plane code. Blame the building sitting in that park across the street.

I agree, really hate these setbacks. Is it due to zoning?

Another probably stupid question. The building to the right of this one has windows all the way up that will be covered. How is this regulated?

Part of the building code and specified in the zoning.

I’m shocked that this is good ole gene. The glass box looks like a penthouse unit since you can see a spiral staircase inside so I doubt it will be lit up

I think what had happened was that Gene was walking down the stairs one morning and tripped, smashing his head right through the sheetrock. The impact knocked the shitty designs right out of his brain and so, a sense of normality was seen and this design was made.

That penthouse cube is meant for All The Best Parties.

[steyin]

There aren't enough vomit emojis for this atrocity.

[chris08876]

Its better than a lot of his other work.
