While NYC is obviously an okay choice some other cities need it more. I think should split it between Chicago and Philly.

So amazon's officially not moving to NY.

What's this mean for developments in LIC?? I was hoping for more construction in that area specifically

Yeah I was excited for that waterfront area to get fixed up and developed. It'll happen eventually but certainly not as fast as it would have with amazon.

I saw this on instagram, anyone know anything about it? Seems new... and potentially really exciting

I'm not sure how to embed instagram posts but here's the link

That tower appears to be on the west side of 7th Ave, just south of Billionaire's Row.

Right, a good place for it.

It's basically just the Salesforce tower stretched to 600+ meters.

I'm a fan

Could NYC’s next real estate boom see the rise of its first megatall skyscraper? Plans have been drawn...

Looks like a version of 360 10th is thrown in there, but I could be off...

Zapatan · #**1971** Posted **Apr 10, 2019, 3:00 AM**

Yea wouldn't mind over half a kilometer of that...

photoLith · #**1972** Posted **Apr 10, 2019, 6:30 AM**

Oh my god, yes please.

chris08876 · #**1973** Posted **Apr 10, 2019, 1:15 PM**

Potential Design for 80 South Street. Looks to be over 1,500 ft.

From the luxury super-slender developments of Midtown to Brooklyn’s first super-tall tower, these are the skyscrapers that are about to redefine New York.

The narrator has an accent, so you know its a good video!

I heard de Blasio wants a ban on skyscrapers. Somebody please tell me this can't happen.

No they are not banned, they just cannot use steel or glass in their construction.

No, there are new environmental rules that regulate building materials.

Obviously they aren't banning glass and steel.

Looks like another massive tower in the making.

That is super cool, looks straight out of Star Trek and or Bladerunner.

Doubleu1117 · #**1980** Posted **May 3, 2019, 9:42 PM**

Wow what a beautiful design. I hope it gets built as is. Sometimes you see a render and you just know its perfect for the city, had the same feeling with 1 vanderbilt.
