This has been rumored for some time.
There have been multiple rumors of a SHoP-designed supertall somewhere on the Lower East Side riverfront, and, given that most of this neighborhood doesn't have the zoning, this is the likely location. |
Supertall or not, I would love to see another SHoP designed tower along the waterfront. I think the supertall term used here may not mean literally. We shall see.
|
I'd like to see what that letter was about. If they know something we don't, I'd be curious to see what the monstrosity that they refer to actually is. But yeah, a super tall here or even anything 700 ft or greater is a big change for the area along with Extells u/c tower.

Just some extra info. Anybody going to that meeting? :???:

Anything above 20 stories for them would be considered too tall.

Interesting how in the 80's Lower East side was such an undesirable neighbourhood, until Rudy Giuliani cleaned it up. Now it has become a great neighbourhood to invest in development wise. Would love to see something iconic go into this area. Look forward to seeing a rendering!

We will probably hear more about this later on in the week. The meeting is for Wednesday.

There are other factors, but in this case I believe re-establishment of rule of law was the catalyst. The area already had massive advantages (like being on Manhattan). |

Zeitgeist |
The phenomenon of rapidly decreasing crime rates, followed by rising prices and changing demographics, is something that is not limited to the Lower East Side or even New York City. The renaissance of urban centers over the past 20 years has happened simultaneously in metropolises around the world (look at London or Los Angeles), occurring at an equal pace in cities that had left and right-leaning law enforcement policies.
There is a massive amount of literature on this topic and endless theories as to what caused the phenomenon, but the idea that it was caused by Guliani’s “broken windows” approach has since been widely discredited. He just benefited from a right-place-right-time situation, and was not at all shy to take any credit coming his way. Apologies for dragging things further off topic. |

This tower will be a beast. "Only" 900 ft. but absolutely huge size.
I mean, adjacent One Manhattan Square is one of the biggest apartment buildings in NYC, and it's comparatively dwarfed. |
JDS and SHoP always impress. I kinda see a little reminder of One57 in the facade. Only green. In a way, its cool to see a green skyscraper. We really do not have many off memory.

And like you said this will dominate the area the proximity to the waterfront will enhance this. To help picture it, look at the effect Coach tower has right now. It looks just massive this will be 20 foot or so taller and will only have its buddy One Manhattan Square to keep it company. |
Just to highlight some design info:

Is this as-of-right? This will likely get slaughtered if it goes through the public approval process.
