So 1,389' is correct? Most other sites have it listed at 1,388'.

They’re not looking at official documents. Initially, it was supposed to be at 1,388 ft, but it’s been adjusted to reflect the actual height. Outlets won’t be concerned with such a minor adjustment, but if you want accuracy, it’s 1,389 ft.












I posted this as well, because it’s widely reported as a 2.5 msf tower, which it is. But here, where we’re concerned with how much space can be built and where, you can see what actual zoned footage is, given its allowable build at a 23 FAR. (For comparison, One Vanderbilt is built at a 30 FAR, but at about half the footprint). Had 270 been allowed the same density, it would have had about 2.4 msf of zoned floor space, pushing the total size above 3 msf.







Allowable densities in Midtown East:

Foster + Partners showcases models of 14 skyscrapers that "challenge convention"


Ben Dreith

British studio Foster + Partners has showcased large-scale models of 14 built, or in-progress, skyscrapers at an exhibition in the lobby of the recently renovated Transamerica Pyramid.

The exhibition has highly detailed models of architectural projects carried out by the studio arranged on podiums in a small glass annexe behind the lobby of the Transamerica Pyramid.
