Will there be landscaping on the Park Avenue side like there will be on the Madison Ave side?

https://www.cb5.org/cb5m/resolutions.../resolution_4/

Interestingly, it seems that Chakrabarti, whom I believe was a partner at ShOP, is designing the greenspace.

I'm curious to see what's planned for the 47th and 48th St sidewalks. I hope that they have a lot of landscaping. In fact, considering that the new 415 Madison, which also will be on 48th, seems to also have some street-level greenspace, 48th could be a very verdant and beautiful stretch.

"WHEREAS, The Applicant is choosing to enlarge the sidewalks on East 47th Street and East 48th Street, in part accommodate the surge in pedestrian traffic caused by increased number of employees, as well as to render the building compliant to the sky plane exposure requirements while utilizing all the available FAR; and

WHEREAS, The proposed POPS designed by architect Vishaan Chakrabarti would have a green wall and water features, would have seating that can be used as work space, with seating and tables of different heights, a kiosk that would sell coffee, cold and hot beverages..."

But actually, it’s the train shed thing in this case.

I don't follow this. Is this saying the building will be set back, because the renderings or the axonometric don't show this?

I assumed that the city would eliminate traffic lanes.

I assume its because the base is tapered inward but its really hard to tell.

I thought about that too, but the base is still massive, so the areas adjacent to
the taper will be marginal.

Yes you do. Only night pics this time, but floors are finally taking shape above the tabletop...

I’m a little surprised to see the zigzag/stepped nature of the steel on the north side above the tabletop. I figured it would match the profile of the tabletop. Could be an interesting transition right there.

JMKeynes · #13 Posted **Dec 20, 2021, 6:01 PM**

I wonder if there will be a mini-Met/grand staircase on Park.

It looks like there will be a lot of trees on 47th and 48th.

^ Looks like it. On the sides as well.

That’s always been the plan, though slightly different from this early graphic of how the tower would unfold…
