Let’s build as tall as 432 Park to mark the skyline!
Lead by example, build as tall as you want.

Glass Reaches The Rooftop Parapet Of One Manhattan Square On The Lower East Side



Quote:
Seen in the photo above, the first panels of glass that encompass the penthouse floors have started to be installed on the short elevations facing west, as part of the building’s footprint configured as an offset pair of rectangular floors. The glass chevron pattern seen on the main wider elevations looking north and south is the most notable aspect of the skyscraper when looking up close or across the river from Brooklyn or Long Island City, easily catching the sunlight as it creates a shimmering pattern from top to bottom.

The construction crane has already come down on the southern elevation, and work on the base continues to progress. Standing 80 stories, the building will have 815 residential units, with interiors designed by Meyer Davis Studios, as well as 100,000 square feet of outdoor and indoor amenities such as an indoor basketball court, a bowling alley, a spa and fitness center, a pool, and a private theater.

Also present in the project is 45,000 square feet of outdoor landscaping, designed by West 8 Urban Design and Landscape Architecture, and located on the roof of the building’s podium level. The podium houses the amenities both above and below grade. The roof gardens stand higher than the FDR, allowing residents to enjoy views of the East River and thus feel closer with the presence of the Manhattan Bridge. Standing on the top floors offers expansive views of Brooklyn, Midtown and Lower Manhattan.

In my latest video look for it. I reference it on the video, you get to see what it likes on the skyline from Belle Harbor, Queens:

That's a pretty solid tower! Just not a fan of how overwhelming it is for everything else......but that's just my taste.

hang on — there are three more next to it on deck, including a green terra cotta clad tower we are actually looking forward to.

Suddenly, all of the surrounding towers look really short.

This tower makes my stomach cramp every time I see it in the skyline - an absolute shambles of massing and placement. Architecture for wealthy poseurs.

^ I agree about the massing but not about the placement. The immediate area is a sea of brick commie blocks. From the bridge and from the river, that area is as depressing as they get. It actually brings some interest to an area that otherwise most people would look right past.

Also, how do you feel about the John Hancock Tower and its relationship to the Boston skyline? Because that is exactly what this tower reminds me of.

For an area of short ugly buildings, I welcome the start of a trend.
If you love skyscrapers, you’ve got something exciting happening in a very dreadful part of town.

I love skyscrapers!
Do you?

With 32 billion in needed repairs for NYCHA, at what point does it make sense to replace rather than repair all that public housing?

It has a Tour Montparnasse thing going on.
