One of the most f**ked up things I've ever seen.

How old are you if this is one of the most fucked up things you've ever seen?

Old enough to know when something is absurd and ridiculous and arrogant for that matter. You signed up for this forum what 6 weeks ago and you are confronting people like you own the place? Tisk tisk.

There’s an article here, with maybe more details. But I can’t get it.

By the time this actually gets built, if it ever does, we will be used to seeing buildings that stand out or look top heavy.

I can’t see this not being built. It seems to have a smallish office component, a huge hotel component, and perhaps some residential. Therefore, it doesn’t seem to be one of these enormous office towers that requires a large anchor commitment.

If this were the standard setback design, many would complain that it was uninspired and boring. This simply reveals that no matter the design there will always be someone who doesn’t like it. There is no pleasing everyone, especially here.

We still don’t know which design will be chosen, but this would be perfectly fine. We’d be seeing complaints about whatever is chosen. This would be perfectly fibe for the Hudson Yards. You could even say needed.

I suspect that this will be selected, and I'll be elated. This is amazing. Only in New York!

And I would add perfect for the site.

Looking at all the new, shiny glass towers going up in Hudson Yards, I think this would at least be a break from that, in both appearance and height...

Seen in context, 3 Hudson Blvd. actually makes for a very decent counterbalance to this design's upside down massing. If both were built, they might almost look directly related, like 30 and 10 HY.

Good point.

mrnyc · #15 Posted **Nov 8, 2021, 7:08 PM**

it's odd, but pretty dam cool and ... I LEIK DA HEIGHT!

Drcastro · #16 Posted **Nov 9, 2021, 3:57 AM**

Yuck. So top heavy.

NYguy · #17 Posted **Nov 9, 2021, 4:06 AM**

I'm curious if there are terraces on the eastern facade, and if that offsets the offsets a little. It's like the western facade is hollowed out. I would imagine there are terraces on the other side, but we haven't seen it.

jbermingham123 · #18 Posted **Nov 9, 2021, 4:07 AM**

I would like this one far more if the base and top had the same width and it narrowed in the middle, rather than starting out narrow and widening linearly.

It would instead be a concave arc of symmetrical setbacks and cantilevers

God I hate this building so much. Especially because it's so tall. I already do not love the design of CPT so if they build THIS too I think it'll really hinder the beauty of NYC's skyline

I actually don't think it's tall enough!
