Apparently this dark horse is on hold, someone in the SSC thread posted a picture of the excavated site though.

Construction crews recently filed a bevy of new permits to erect a tower crane and sidewalk shed last month, and the 2023-approved permit confirms the building will stretch 785 feet to the top of its crown. When complete, the tower will hold 462 apartments, several floors of amenities, and ground-floor retail. Between seven and ten residential units will occupy each floor. Amenities will include a 63rd-floor lounge, swimming pool and deck, as well as a fitness center with terrace access, co-working spaces, a demo kitchen, entertainment rooms, and bike storage.

I predict this tower is going to blow everyone's socks off when complete.

This building shows how a unique crown utterly transforms a simple box.

I hate that people use the word supertall so randomly. I almost wish it weren’t used at all.

Supertall FiDi Tower Being Erected After DEC Says Brownfield Clean-Up Done
The prospective 64-story tower, known as 8 Carlisle Place, also has its fair share of internecine family drama behind its development. An underground petroleum spill in 2021 helped spur a long brownfield cleanup ordered by the DEC.

A 64-story residential building is finally going up in FiDi after an extensive brownfield cleanup, not to mention some realtor family drama, as previously reported on by Straus News.

The massive 326,000 sq.-ft. project at 8 Carlisle Place will reportedly come with 462 new apartments, which will consist of a mix of luxury and more “affordable” units, plus various amenities including a lounge and a fitness center. It was originally set to only span 50 stories and house 400 units.

Located two blocks from One World Trade, the project could reach its full 789-ft. height by the middle of 2026, with tenants possibly moving in shortly thereafter.

In 2021, a 3,000-gallon underground petroleum tank spilled, leading to a sharp increase in contamination on-site.

City inspectors soon determined that the lot–otherwise known as 111-121 Washington St.–was a polluted “brownfield,” one that had accumulated excessive levels of petroleum-related volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) in its soil and groundwater.

SVOCs can have a particularly adverse effect on the human endocrine system, according to one Berkeley study, and can “interfere with the ‘synthesis, secretion, transport, activity, or elimination of natural hormones,’ which can cause a wide range of developmental and reproductive abnormalities.”

The remedial work that neutralized these toxins has since been completed, which allowed the ongoing construction of 8 Carlisle Place to begin.

You're not super tall unless you're a supertall. There's nothing wrong with simply being tall or very tall. But this, in the context of where it's located, seems a bit much. Its a tall building that would loom in many places. Here, not so much.

An under the radar 800+ ft tower.
