CTBUH states this is u/c.

10 super talls u/c at once. One topped out (3 WTC). What a age we are in.

This is age of Ramses, no doubt.

Holy hell, a super tall in Brooklyn, never thought I'd see the day. NYC is unstoppable.

And a gorgeous one, at that!

Effin gorgeous. So this should be moved to under construction right? Is this going to be the smallest footprint for a supertall in Merca'? Looks to be even more slender than 111 w 57th.

I can't get enough of this tower. It echoes the best of Art Deco but is decidedly modern and iconic. I hope we get something of this caliber in Long Island City at some point.

This may be the best tower going up in NYC. I may even like it more than Steinway, which is crazy.

Very similar developments. Both are integrated into existing city landmarks. The same developers obviously (JDS). Same architects (SHoP).

The biggest difference between the two towers is that the Steinway (111) will be a super-luxury, super exclusive tower, with only about 65 units total (including some in the original portion of the building).

On the other hand, 9 DeKalb will have between 400 - 500 units, about 20% of that affordable housing. The contrast couldn't be more different as far as that goes. But both will be welcome additions to the city's ever increasing skyline.

Just like LIC and JC, the Downtown Brooklyn transformation is incredible … and will only get better.

When the NIMBYs in the crib ma
Drop it like it's hot
Drop it like it's hot
Drop it like it's hot
When the NIMBYS try to get at you
Park it like it's hot
Park it like it's hot
Park it like it's hot
And if a NIMBY get a attitude
Pop it like it's hot
Pop it like it's hot
Pop it like it's hot

Incredible.

So this means New York will now have three CBDs with supertalls.

And Canada still can't get one.

Yes....3.... with Long Island City and Jersey City also both having towers very very close to Supertall height.


I must say I love this tower. Are they drilling caisson footings for it now? Or is that just excavation or sheet piling equipment? I can't quite tell from the photos.

[chris08876]

The movement of this to the supertall forum is great.

We now have 10, I repeat, 10 NYC supertalls u/c.

1) 9 Dekalb
2) 111 W 57th
3) CPT
4) 175 Greenwich
5) 53W53
6) One Vanderbilt
7) 1 MW
8) 35 Hudson
9) 30 Hudson
10) 3 Hudson

And we haven't even gotten our trousers off yet.

Still have the LES super talls to look forward too and some potential ones on 5th Avenue. Not to mention 8o South, Two Manhattan West, 45 Broad (which will start soon I hope), and it goes on.
