Very cool design.
|
|
the news we have been awaiting all these years has arrived, the final section of the highline park, the highline spur, opens june 5th:
https://www.thehighline.org/design/s...eid=aadae9543d |
I was wondering when the spur would open. I noticed yesterday the first piece of art was installed, another instagramy place in the Hudson Yards...

turn around lady the H&M is BEHIND you!
|
|
Kinda an odd figure to see standing there.
|
What a supremely good use of the spur - if only all the art they installed on the High Line could have such visual impact. Looking forward to seeing how they rotate the space and programming in future.

so far 515 w18st looks like heatherwick is trolling us with a post war london apt building.
|
Egads, that thing is hideous.
|
^^^^ Both y'all trippin. This is a cool af tower. Looks like a remnant of old Europe, from an alternate cyber-punk reality.
|
man, development has really killed the High Line! who wants to walk through a claustrophobia-inducing canyon of overpriced, poorly designed (largely empty) condos--for that matter who on earth wants to live tourist-eyeball-level on that stretch anyway?
it was for a very brief time a pleasant elevated park, now it is just a consumerist feeder tube into the glass shithole of HY :yuck: |
Quote:
yeah the majority of the day for sure. however, it is still nice early or late in the day during the week. also, i walked it home last night after work in between a little rain and had it to myself. |
^^ I wholeheartedly disagree. It is a diverse showcase of a unique cluster of architecture unlike anywhere else in the world. If you want shadowless park space, go to Sheep Meadow in Central Park or just about any other park in the USA. The High-Line is an incredibly unique experience, which just keeps getting better. Looking forward to my next visit there.

And, um, "who wants to walk there"? The problem with the High Line is it's too damn popular. You can't move. Not sure why you think the residences are "poorly designed", as they're almost all extreme high end and probably the largest concentration of starchitecture on the planet. They also aren't "largely empty" and sell at crazy prices, indicating plenty of people desire such residences. I'd live there in a second, but I can't afford it. And I'm pretty close to the 1%. Arguably the best K-12 private school in Manhattan is right there. |
^ and that school is quite a sight in and of itself. crazy limos, suvs, etc. and classic suited chauffeurs and nannies waiting out front at the end of the school day. and a block away a legion of opioid zombies staggering around. its really something else around there.

I never quite understand why people complain about the High Line, and the development around it. Do people really think that once torn down, the area was going to remain the same? Probably would have been rezoned for denser development. But such as it is, I think it's succeeded beyond anyone's expectations. I recently took a trip down Atlanta's Beltline, and on every side there is similar growth. Also, like the High Line, very crowded. That means people lije it, and want to be there. Same thing applies to the High Line. So whenever I hear or see those comments from people about it being an undesirable place/experience, my eyes roll back in my head a little. Does it get crowded? You bet. Does New York City get crowded? You betcha. |

maybe you heard taylor swift has a new album out?
ha. anyway, her instantly hot single cardigan, which btw is indeed a pop masterpiece if you have not heard it, alludes to the meatpacking district and name drops the high line. here it is w/lyrics: https://youtu.be/uAUnRw7Pswg ***** also, the 18th street plaza, the final development of the high line park itself i think, is underway below w18th street. 18TH ST. PLAZA Currently under design, the 18th St. Plaza will be located at street level, along 10th Ave. The 10,000 square foot site will feature a large, curving planting bed with low plantings and trees. A billboard anchors the site to the north and will be repurposed to display art, and a new stair and elevator to the High Line will be constructed with the plaza. more: https://www.thehighline.org/design/ ^ so it looks like the old elevated snack bar idea is out - lol! https://ny.eater.com/2008/6/25/67927...ated-snack-bar https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/Gtmm...highline.0.jpg |

This was announced earlier, and I'm excited to see it get built. I hope they push forward with the northern expansion connecting to the riverfront.

Looks like they are preserving the ability to continue that down to actually connecting to Moynihan instead of just the useful but not fully convenient detour to Manhattan West. That's good.

I know MW has major above grade portions that this connects to. I'm aware of the existing plan but having it ONLY go through the Retail portion of Manhattan West en route to Moynihan is akin to forcing people to go through the gift shop on the way out of a museum or Observation deck. Eventually that spur off to the East could and should be extended all the way to Moynihan/Penn Station, if not even further east to maybe 7th Avenue.

What you're talking about is something like the images in the link below, which would be nice, but not necessary from the pedestrian standpoint. It wouldn't be so great from an actual street pedestrian point of view. https://skyscraperpage.com/forum/sho...&postcount=713 At the same time, I do hope they continue with the phase 2 plans of connecting to the riverfront. https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...N.IMG_4842.JPG |
Any more information or renderings for the High Line North and East Connection. The High Line is one of my favorite attractions in New York and it's very cool they keep expanding it.
EDIT - I see the link in NYGuy's post. Amazing stuff!! |

They haven't mentioned anything about phase 2 (north to the riverfront) yet, but I guess the focus is on phase 1 for now. Here's a little more info on the planning and financing....Brookfield, which will benefit from the connection, will pay 40% of the costs..... https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...L77S9C.d10.JPG https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...PId3Mf.d11.JPG https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...EQbbyk.d12.JPG https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...Dkbm0d.d13.JPG https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...NKYM2H.d14.JPG https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...tFRrhG.d15.JPG https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...Q9MiqQ.d16.JPG https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...pg1szi.d17.JPG https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...qSFxZj.d18.JPG https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...bSK9md.d19.JPG https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...Xz8xKx.d20.JPG https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...xENIGP.d21.JPG https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...9Eum2J.d22.JPG https://a4.pbase.com/o12/06/102706/1...Y6JRjO.d23.JPG |

our city council person’s newsletter stated the groundbreaking for the highline extension to the penn station/moynihan train hall was feb 23rd — and i see here that work is well underway!
https://www.thehighline.org/connections/ |
I noticed a couple of days ago that there is visible progress along the expansion.

Underneath the walkway could potentially be a great place for Citibikes.

Saw that the final connecting piece, or the "wooden" portion of the new connection was on site, though not in place yet. It reminded me that I took these pics a couple of weeks ago...
