I really wish it were 200 ft. taller. 800 ft. would be perfect, and would form a better ensemble with Trump World Tower.

Still, the façade looks very promising, and you know a Foster building will be quality. And I'm sure something will eventually be built on that lowrise block to the south, so hopefully we can still get a nice ensemble of condos along this prominent corridor.

Everything looks good so far. I really hope the tint in the windows from the renderings show up.

Anybody think this was inspired by the Chicago School? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicag...rchitecture%29

Looks good with 1 Dag Hammarskjold Plaza and Trump World Tower.

Needs more height, but fills the gap nicely.

$100M penthouse rising near United Nations




By Jennifer Gould Keil
October 10, 2013



Quote:
Talk about making a splash! A new $100 million penthouse is rising near the United Nations — with its own private pool, revealed in this exclusive photo.

The sprawling 15,597-square-foot triplex penthouse at the Norman Foster-designed 50 UN Plaza will have 14 bedrooms, 13 full bathrooms, a fireplace
and 1,500 square feet of outdoor space, with a 10,000-pound stainless-steel staircase leading to the infinity-edge pool.


The penthouse will be at the top of the 88-story luxury building developed by Zeckendorf Development, of 15 Central Park West, and Eyal Ofer’s Global Holdings;
it is the first residential building in the US designed by Foster + Partners. Prices of condos will start at $2.5 million and the building is slated for completion in December 2014.






Don't know where they got that 88-story figure from, but whatever...
