Is that confirmed? That's great news if true (about 3WTC).

Central park tower is a great name, better than Nordstrom

According to Hypothalamus, pinnacle for 111 Murray is 792'. I'm assuming from newer documents filed this month versus the may filings.

125 Greenwich is U/C! Another supertall for New York!

Final height remains unknown, but should be in the 1,200' range.

Next one to join the club should be 1 Manhattan West! And then the GiraSole followed by 2WTC.

When all is done, this will be the 2nd city with the most supertalls. Once the proposals move to reality, and we get those Shop supertalls that are still a mystery moving, Dubai better watch out.

45 East 22nd Street is a beauty.

I've read articles claiming 1 MW to be U/C, though their standards for determining what is U/C may be different from ours.

In real world standards, its u/c. I never agreed with the SSP version of what defines u/c.

According to the CTBUH, 425 Park Avenue (893ft/272m) is U/C!!

Epic rendering of Verre ...

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer...l-profile.html

and Steinway ...

chris08876 · #**1133** Posted **Jul 1, 2015, 8:37 PM**

That rendering of Verre needs to be posted in front of every architecture classroom in the nation. An example of how it's done right.

Two masterpieces just blocks away.

C. · #**1134** Posted **Jul 2, 2015, 12:58 AM**

Verre is one handsome building! I can't wait for this one to grace the skyline with its presence.

I wish Steinway was a 2000 ft plus building. I hate NYC's current zoning. Let this one rise to the sky!

hunser · #**1135** Posted **Jul 6, 2015, 10:11 PM**

Per ILNY's photo update, 1 Manhattan West, 995ft/303m is U/C! Another supertall for New York!

Also, 111 Murray has secured a $445 million loan.

I think once the ones that are undergoing site preparation rise, it will be 19 or 20. Good news is that the number of towers in the 900-999 foot range are just as great in numbers or getting there.

Internationally, not many can hold a candle to this boom. In my research for China supertalls (which will be added very soon), no Chinese city comes close. Maybe Shenzhen, but even than, its still behind as most of these in NYC are at a stage of actually happening.
