Rendering for the press release...

Just in case anyone was wondering, the first picture you'll see in the below link shows the 11 story turn of the century office building that currently occupies the proposed site. Looks like it would be sort of a sad loss, but it's already mostly covered by signage anyways.

Interesting to see how the old building currently occupying the site will be integrated into the new tower since the article indicates it will only be partially demolished.

The amenities seem cool, along with that jumbo screen, however that tower is mediocre at best.
|
Location deserves a better building.

I think this project is a step backwards. I do not know if they will keep the facade of the old building, but anyway, if it is to destroy something here, have to be replaced with something of quality, not the trash box. And, 36 floors?! Ohhh nooo... :hell: This building should be lower than the Lehman Brothers Building, a pity, this place deserves a building of at least 250 meters. |

That will be a huge LED sign though :D. |
This building will be nearly 500 ft., so taller than one would assume from the floor count.

Good news.
I know that Edition is looking for additional Manhattan hotel locations, so we should see some more announcements. |
Gee, I thought that Nasdaq (4 Times Square) had the largest display.
The tower itself is a filler (which is not a bad thing) for the area. I actually like this development quit a bit. :cool: |
Yeah, it is a little bit of filler, but the retail and entertainment venue could be nice additions.

Yeah there's NO WAY that is what it will really look like. Maybe in LA, but not in New York, the architects there are WAAY too intelligent! Lol

I think this may be moving along with this faster than we thought. It's right across the plaza from where I work, and I've been noticing the businesses in the base of the building are gradually shutting down. Tad's Steaks, a neighborhood mainstay, is already gone, and the giant discount electronics place next to it has an equally giant "GOING OUT OF BUSINESS" sign up that I just noticed the other day. Storefronts on 47th Street have already been emptied, leaving only the shitty Sbarro on the corner left. Can't say I'll be sorry to lose that. :P
