You know, I don't mind sharing, but I don't want others taking from us, lol...not exactly the same, but similar design.

.....The masterplan will be completed with a series of constructions celebrating the area’s industrial heritage while embracing the future, designed by the major international architectural studios involved: SHoP Architects, Office Winhov, Mecanoo and Crimson Architectural Historians, in addition to Powerhouse Company.

Powerhouse Company has designed a building on the wharf that relates directly to the Codrico industrial complex and the “Fonda” residential complex on the site adjacent to the factory. SHoP Architects of New York designed a 220-metre residential tower recalling the first generation of "Hugh Ferriss" skyscrapers in New York. Thus the architects pay homage to the history of the entire Katendrecht district, a point of departure for the great migration to the New World at the beginning of the last century.

Definitely eerie... I love it. Someone please start this thread in proposals. It will be refreshing to follow a Dutch project on this forum

Another Rap:

We looking fresh when we steppin' in the VIP
DoBro in da House
(Look at us! Look at us!)
Her facade, her rebar gonna notice me
(Ha ha ha, Ha ha ha)
Dressed so fly like high quality glass
Tourists stare with their mouth wide open
Now STFU haters and swallow this NY vibe!
Covid got the NIMBYs foaming when they see this rise

Now its just a question of how long it takes Junior's to sell for another tower that blocks half the view.

chris08876 · #**1218** Posted **Dec 24, 2020, 3:28 AM**

Maybe they could make a deal to reincorporate Juniors into a new tower. Sort of like retail space guarantee.

I do hope, if 9 DeKalb ends up a massive success selling wise, that more super talls are considered for the borough. Hopefully the first of many.

mrnyc · #**1219** Posted **Dec 24, 2020, 12:01 PM**

^ i believe jds made juniors an offer to do just that, but they refused.

so someday yes there will be a building on the juniors site that blocks it off.

for now lets just enjoy the views we will get — and some juniors cheesecake while we are at it.

I don’t think it’s large enough for anything that tall. But they only need to build up to the level of the bank to make it fit.
