I actually think that Sunnyside is a perfect spot for when we poach the Giants/Jets back from the Meadowlands so that area can be returned to swamp as God intended.
Lol. I think New Jersey will eventually have to allow at least one casino in northern NJ after the NY casinos open. If one does, it should be right in the meadowlands. Put it at American Dream.

“Office buildings are our factories – whether for tech, creative or traditional industries we must continue to grow our modern factories to create new jobs,” said United States Senator Chuck Schumer.
Where are all the trash cans outside the casino for people to puke in after losing their life savings letting it ride?
Lol. Who pukes in a trash can these days. Have you seen the streets?
I hope the state allows a direct connection to the High Line. I know it was said there would be a future connection of the High Line to Hudson River Park somewhere near the Javits.
But a direct connection from this side of the complex from the High Line would be great. Maybe they could also somehow rework the street level connection to the High Line as well.

The last time I puked in public (2011) I had the decency to use a trash can, so I guess it's just a personal preference. If it hadn't been there it would have been all over a train platform.
Looks about 1,200' for the two taller ones and 900' for the smaller.
Those renderings do look about those heights. But who knows when those renderings were made. Even the graphic we've seen shows a different make up. But what's moving through approvals now is what's below, which is all we have to go on until something changes...

Looks more Beekman to me. It's the first thing I thought of when I saw it. It could be Foster, Foster designed 50 for Related. So I could see it being Foster as well, though it doesn't look like any of Foster's New York work.

Focusing more on just the casino, and everything that entails, this is really the only location in Midtown where you could build this type of resort.
It would breath so much new life into the railyards, drawing even more people from all over.
I would add a simple water feature at both ends on 11th Avenue, along the retail. If you look closely, you can also see how the loading access on 11th Ave is hidden.

The tube-looking structures remind me of Foster’s condo tower by the UN, and the setbacks look a bit like those on 50 HY except there are a few more.
There’s a Foster office building somewhere overseas with more pronounced blue glass tubes on the exterior than the UN condo has.
The tunnel "box" beneath a portion of the site is being constructed now. It will run beneath the office tower. Another look at what's being done in regards to that and the platform...
33rd Street, as it slopes down towards the river and the High Line. The plan is to level it.
This is where the school/office tower will rise.
