DOB should just modify its language to say void levels that boost a structures height shall be allowable with sensible parameters whether they are shared with mechanical space, a restaurant or a pool level...whatever. Just dont wink about it and encourage shenanighans.

holy one wtc spire shenanigans batman!

This will be the first, and likely shortest, of three or four upcoming Extell towers in the Lincoln Square neighborhood.

Extell recently purchased the ABC HQ campus from Silverstein, right across the street. That campus has the zoning to allow for two or three extremely tall supertalls.

No city in the US (and very, very, very few in the world) remotely compare to NY.

It’s been an unduly long birthing process; but it is a pleasure to see this finally assuming its vertical ascent.

Buuuut….

@Crawford;

Assuming what you said above is in the pipeline, are we in for more NIMBY yammerfests/ultimately fruitless litigation?
