The faces of the NIMBYS once they see this rendering....

Priceless

This tower is pretty bulky. I like it. Should add a new dynamic for the area and possibly set a trend.

What an incredibly low effort design. With all the beautiful high rises going up in NYC, I dont know how this can compete.

It can compete for several reasons, one being this is New York and people would live on top of the Port Authority bus terminal if they could. But the units here aren't meant to compete with the luxury towers of Downtown and Midtown.

Extell’s Lower East Side Condos Priced From $1-3 Million; Asian Buyers Targeted


...How pricey will Extell Development’s luxury condominiums on the former Cherry Street Pathmark site be when they finally hit the market? Today Extell honcho Gary Barnett offered the first clues.

In an interview with Bloomberg News, he said most of the apartments at 250 South St. will be in the $1 million-$3 million range.

While the prices Barnett is envisioning on the Lower East Side are sky high, they’re practically bargains compared with the $100 million penthouses Extell has been selling uptown. Referring to One Manhattan Square, he told Bloomberg, “We think that’s a reasonable place to be… There are a tremendous amount of people who would like to own something in New York City but are priced out because everybody’s building super-luxury.”

Design may not be all that inspiring but from the look of the latest render, the cladding is what will make this building shine (pun intended).

Definitely not nice enough to win a place in my heart

However, I was riding over the bridge today, and I realized it has the potential to block the view of the monstrosity that is 375 Pearl St from my beloved Dumbo. Net win!

The render looks much nicer than the surrounding towers.
The height is pretty good too.
No complaints here!

The LES could have nothing but superluxury $200 million apartments, and it could be the most expensive neighborhood on the planet, and it still wouldn't mean a thing in terms of displacing low and medium income residents. Their housing is not subject to the market.

you would think so, but its not really true. even a long standing jail can be moved out if the powers that be want it out:

It's a nice residential tower, but not everyone can afford the expensive Manhattan lifestyle.

I'm sure many of us here on SSP would just love to hit the lottery someday and be able to afford to live in such luxury with amazing views.

I'll point out a few:

1. High land values -- eventual displacement of life time New Yorkers. Bad.

2. Vile wind tunnel from a very tall building and the river. Bad.

2. Forcing haves and have nots to live together. Bad.

This is an interesting take on the changing neighborhoods.

Those are all good things, or non-factors, from a public policy perspective.

High land values means the city has high tax revenues for redistributive purposes. Income diversity is a good thing.

Tall buildings don't cause river winds. No one is being displaced from high land values, because lower income tenants aren't in market rate housing, so the land value has zero to do with their rent.

Manhattan definitely needs a tower along that low-rise part of the river . .
2 different tints of glass . . color the tall vertical planes . .
meeting at the southwest edge . .
Or is that just artistic license in a rendering effort to break up the tower's banality ? . .
or a depiction of the effects of golden late afternoon western light ? . .
but it's mid-day skies . . so I assume it's actually 2 different tints of glass . .
not great architecture . . but it's better than the Verizon bldg. by the Brooklyn . .
nice lobby & cool pool . .

Have a Look at the Over-the-Top Amenities at Extell’s “One Manhattan Square”



Ed Litvak
December 1,2015

A few weeks ago Extell Development announced that it would be giving buyers in Asia the first crack at luxury apartments at the firm’s new 80-story tower on the Lower East Side. Now a fancy sales brochure has been made available from Jones Lang LaSalle Inc., the firm handling overseas marketing. It’s packed with jaw-dropping renderings of the project, called One Manhattan Square.

For some time, we’ve known that Extell’s massive complex on the former Cherry Street Pathmark site would be loaded with amenities. But the brochure outlines in great detail each and every perk of buying one of these apartments alongside the Manhattan Bridge (prices range from about $1 million-3 million).

The 800+ unit complex is described as “a modern garden square, offering an unprecedented 100,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities,” which “fosters physical wellness, social recreation and tranquility.” A highly regarded landscape architectural firm, West 8, has designed the gardens. They include a tree house with fire pits, a putting green and a covered dog run. There are outdoor dining areas, a cellar bar, a 70-seat movie theater, fitness studios, a bowling alley, a dog spa and a cigar room. Have a look at the brochure below.

By the way, Extell Development will be holding its quarterly meeting with residents of nearby buildings to discuss construction concerns. It will take place December 15 at 6:45 p.m. at the Manny Cantor Center, 197 East Broadway.
